Carrier and Fighter Movement

I would say the only reason to have your planes out of France would be if they are in a KJF mode (with the exception of a FTR in Germany for IB protection.

Thank you all for the clarification!

@jiman79:

I have a follow up question in the same category.
What if there is a place to land the figs, but this territory is also to be attacked in the same round.
Will the figs then be able to land there and take part of the defense - or will they be lost (with only taking place in the naval battle) if the territory is lost?

The fighters only land after all combats are resolved, meaning that if the territory has been taken it is not longer a valid landing spot

@Manitobajay:

If my carrier is holding one of my fighters and one ally unit does this one move rule apply to the other allies fighter as well?

Yes.

Any defending fighter that loses its carrier (even if an ally’s) gets 1 movement to land safely.  It does not matter that there are multi-national fighters on the same carrier.  But if some but not all of them can land safely and 2 or more players are controlling the defending fighters, then you will have to agree on which ones are lost and which are saved!

Indeed SZ 3 is adjacent. And they could have made a little effort to make this clearer on the board…. At least IL did on his custom maps…

That CAP rule in good old Pacific always remained a mystery to me. As far as I remember you can only use airplanes that didn’t take part in any combat. Now who would let any airplane sitting around doing nothing in combat ?  Japan not using airplanes in her attacks ?  That’s why I never used CAP, not once.

That’s what I thought. Thanks!

No.  You can’t load transports in a hostile sea zone.
