Cruiser question

From the rulebook:

“New Chinese units can be mobilized on any Chinese territory that is controlled by China, including those captured in the current turn.”

Although US supplies the Artillery, it is considered to be Chinese.

HTH :-)

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.

They only way you would be able to avoid the scramble is to send a sub since the planes cannot target without a destroyer.

@Krieghund:

Income is collected in the Collect Income phase.  If the US is attacked by Japan on J1, the US will still have 17 IPCs to spend on US1.

Thank you for the quick response.

That is what I thought (how we have been playing), just needed a confirmation. There was a heated debate last night.  :lol:

While the US is not at war, it may not use UK or ANZAC naval bases, and UK/ANZAC may not use US bases.  UK and ANZAC are always free to use each other’s bases.

i agree with u…im sure Krieghund will add that to the eratta

+1 to u sir

Thanks.

Yes playing by myself is a real bummer, trying to find people in my area “Nashville”.  Good new is my son and my son-in-law both will be moving here some time this year.  Until then I have no choice but to play myself.  The good news is I win every time.  The bad is news is I loose just as many……
