Chinese fighter

Hm interesting because both my wife and I read the rule book, and both interpreted that part the same way.  Guess we need to read it again.

I think that you shouldn’t have to separate out your defending fighters from the SBR.  The entire escort rule is there to make it harder to SBR someone.
The only reason that I could see to NOT send your fighters up to intercept would be that you don’t want them getting shot down… but realistically they’d get shot down on the airfields anyways.
My point is that in order to SBR somebody you should really need to be in a perfect position to do so (i.e. have fighter cover) but having to select which fighters intercept the bombers and which defend the zone i think detracts from that alot.  Just because you can bring some ground forces with you to attack shouldnt mean that you can SBR at will.

Nevermind - the answer is on pg. 16.  Looks like attacking air units can either be chosen to defend against the scramble (i.e. participate in the sea battle), or can ignore the scramble and assist in the amphib assault - but cannot do both.

Chinese can enter Burma, and Kwangtung that"s it besides tt w/Chinese star.

This guy made a folding game table but also used magnets for the fighters and carriers.

I wonder for how much money would he sell his game?

I mailed him once, but never got a reply.

Thanks, that explains a lot.

+1 :-) (if I was able too, sorry) :oops:

Sure, my opponents did in our first game: I was the Japan.

I attacked the US navy at Hawaii with my huge Imperial Navy: obviously I destroyed all while they don’t scrambled any fighter nor tactical bomber. At his turn, the US player counter-attacked my ships, destroying all them… We closed the game and immediately started a second one: there’s no fun in playing Pacific without ships! :D

Im not a huge fan of it being 6 IPC rather than just 5

China shouldnt get special treatment……even though they are treated in a special way
