Destroyer, Fighter and Sub Question

Thank you!

@Drill:

My dad had a destroyer and a bomber, and attacked my 2 subs.

I got a hit right away, so he took off his destroyer.  So the battle is over, right?  :)

The destroyer and the bomber will still perform their attacking rolls… since there’s a destroyer it negates the subs’s first strike ability and allow both destroyer and bomber to perform their attack. Then the battle will be over since the bomber can’t attack the subs by itself.

its ALL counter-intuitive because generally speaking, if the attacking force doesn’t want to kill subs, they wouldn’t aim at subs  :lol:  I can’t think of any tactics that would force the attacker to dispatch the subs before the transports, but thems the rules.

Thanks for the help m8. So AA50 just basically means the 50th aniversary edition correct? Is it much mroe comple then the 1942 one? Cause I am all for more options.

Yes.

AA50 - Anniversary Edition
AAE40 and AAP40 - Europe 1940 and Pacific 1940 editions (if you have both you can combine them into Global 1940 - that’s the most complex version that you can get).

Ok then I definitly gotta have those 2. I think I’ll try and get em used or sumethin. I just bought 1942 still wanna try it out gona make my first game today weeeeeeee  :mrgreen:

@smd918:

3a) If fighters can attack infantry, what would prevent me from taking off and picking off individual Japanese infantry on the islands?

Bear in mind that fighters or bombers attacking infantry will take return fire.  Any unit type is capable of hitting any other unit type, unless the rules specifically say otherwise.

For more information on the game, check out the FAQ.

victory cities are just for new players, I never played with VCs, and since Revised I’d never achieved the minimum nr. of VCs in revised/AA42/AA50. It has always been up to me or my opponent to concede, then the game is over.

@chompers:

Hey all, quick question.  Let’s say Japan attacks the US with a battleship, carrier, and 2 fighters.  The US defends with a carrier and two fighters.  Turn one the US takes 2 hits and chooses to remove the carrier and a fighter.  If Japan calls off the attack at that point to avoid letting the fighter roll another dice, does the remaining US fighter simply die off as it has no carrier to land on?  Or does it have the option of re-basing somewhere?

The remaining US fighter can move 1 space to land at a friendly territory/island/carrier. It it can’t land then it is destroyed.

Great, I WAS right!  :-D

Thanks for the help!
