@RYNO87 Indeed, the fighters move independently from the carrier. All combat movement happens simultaneously. So while the fighters fly the carrier moves. So you have described it correctly.
in addition, the size of the units is the same between the 1941,1942 and 1940 versions?
The units in 1941, 1942, and 1940 are all roughly the same size between editions:
US Sherman tank in 1942 and 1940 are the exact same size. US IS-1 tank in 1941 is a little bigger than the US Sherman from 1942 or 1940. All of the US Infantry between 1941, 1942, and 1940 are the same size.
US planes can land there. The territory to land on must be friendly at the beginning of the nation’s turn.
In the given scenario UK cannot land in the newly captured territory, as it has not been friendly at the beginning of UK’s turn.
On US turn the territory is British and thus friendly to the US.
No doubt an unnecessary clarification, but to avoid any new players getting the wrong end of the stick - fighters that start or finish at sea must have a carrier in that sz. Up to 2 fighters per carrier.
