Artillery Question

@calvinhobbesliker:

@Mysterious:

Are Cruisers able to bombard without the presence of a Battleship?

Yes

thanks, the Rule book makes it confusing; it implies you have to use the buddy system with its ridiculous examples.

Say the Japs had DEI & Phil, and its main force is at Carol Is. Ideally if you could get 5 allied subs in range you could spread them out in 5 different sz all at once costing Jap $ (8-10 ipc) and forcing them to buy more DD’s to go after you. At the very least it could be a stall tactic or weaken the Jap force. Jap would need to make a choice to attack your main force w/o DD’s (cheap causalities), or leave the convoy raids in place. If Jap goes after the subs, you may have created targets of opportunity to go after.

LOL

I spend $100 to buy this game, you dont see me laughing, buddy.

I am laughing at you.

Plus why did you spend $100.  I got mine for $60.  LOL

Plus you actually act like your the age where some one else would of bought the game for you.

Yes and yes.

There are rules that list what happens when a facility becomes inoperable. losing their AA ability isn’t on the list, they still have it.

On a side note, I wish tactical bombers were able to bomb air/naval bases (not factories).  According to my grandpa’s carrier’s war journal, they did a lot of airfield attacks, so it would only make sense to have that ability, and it would better justify the 11 IPC cost, since some people think that is too much.

Thanks  :-D

In that case I will place some subs in that seazone, and as you know they fire a 2 against lonely trannies, so now you’ll need escort, and then……they come…
