MOVED: Making Airbases Required for Flight/Landing

Aircraft may only land on territories they owned at the beginning of their Turn; this includes China’s fighter.

@mastermind93:

If I remember correctly, you can’t build a Major IC in a foreign territory. I do agree, though, on the importance of the Caroline Islands.

I think originally it was allowed. If not, i’ve been had ;)

Seems fairly evident in the rules…. thx K.

@Stoney229:

Suppose US controls Korea and sz6.  Can Japan make a combat move into sz6 including transports which, when the sz is clear, will load units from Japan and unload them on Korea for an amphibious assault?

Nope. Transports are loaded during the Combat Move phase. Since you can’t load transports if the SZ is hostile it is impossible to move them to SZ6 and load them.

@jeffdestroyer:

Someone will make a larger Map if the 1940 Europe game does not have  big enough territories to hold pcs.
The crunch has occured in Europe in the past

Yes, this is my concern as well. But no worries. As we have seen in the past, if there is a big enough issue with TT size and enough people complain, our talented artists here at AA.org will produce some beautiful jumbo maps for us to print out and all will be right with the universe.

You talented folks know who you are  :wink:

@Uncle_Joe:

Yes and the scramble ability is one reason I to build the airbase on the Solomons instead of New Guinea.

Wait, you mean the Japanese want to try and build an AF on Guadalcanal and the US want’s to prevent that? Wow, it sounds quite a bit like what really happened. ;)

As I said in another post, I really get the feeling that the designers put a lot of effort into encouraging players to follow at least some parts of the historical goals and strategies actually used in WW2.

Yeah, but building the Solomon airbase is another Japanese historical mistake that I won’t be repeating again ;)

@Gargantua:

I have to give Krieghund an AMEN here.  He is one of the ONLY people involved in the game creation, who is reaching out to fans, to try and help them out, and support a product that was at some point improperly managed and sent to consumers.  Atleast HE is standing by HIS contribution to the product.

Thanks, but I’m just the “point man”.  Larry and WotC are behind this errata effort 100%, otherwise I wouldn’t be allowed to do it.
