I must admit I am surprised to through the surprise Russia attack on Round 4 then for the first time on you.
I’m still in shock about that ! I just can’t believe i’ve been through dozens of games where my oponents never took advantage of my very poor German positioning due to my misknowing of the rules…i’m just totally puzzled about this…
- we never beat this team all year even in a single period…I guess that shows anything can happen
Very true !
Concerning our game, since 1st turn i’ve been noticing that your play was just excellent considering it’s your 1st game.
I’m ABSOLUTELY NOT considering this game as a “walk in the park”.
Was thinking you’re gonna be a VERY TOUGH opponent once you’ll have a dozen games under your belt…

I know kamis can’t shoot at ennemies lone transports but that’s about all. Usually, i never have a chance to use them. Don’t even remember if they can shoot at planes.
It says on the Alpha + 2 rules :
13. Kamikaze Strike: The capture of certain islands (Iwo Jima, etc.) is no longer required to activate kamikaze - they can be used at any time. If an Allied power attacks Japanese units in or conducts an amphibious assault from a sea zone containing the Kamikaze symbol, the Japanese player can announce at the beginning of the Conduct Combat phase, of that round, that he or she intends to launch a kamikaze strike. (Note: Kamikaze strikes are now triggered by combat, not combat movement.) See page 14 (Pacific 1940) for specific details as to how Kamikaze strikes are conducted.
So in this situation, i don’t even know if i can use Kamis…Think they can’t shoot at planes either if i remember well.
I’ll go and ask it in the G40 FAQ thread.
Ok, got the answer from Krieghund : i can’t use Kamikazes in this battle.
Wow, so other words they can only target DD (surface ships) or better…
Anything like a trn, ss or planes can’t be targeted.
In my opinion it’s a shame they can’t be used vs transports…wouldn’t that make it better for Japan to defend their empire?
I sent in the attack, kind of just wishful thinking you would use 1-2 kami’s on them and only a small 1-way chance of hitting (roll of 2 or less I believe).
I guess I’m helping you learn a few new things as well, which is good all around.
