Spring 1942 First game

Bombers can attack anything except subs, and then only if there is no destroyer accompanying.
Yes, you could actually attack a territory’s factory and ground units at the same time with different bombers.  You have to say how many bombers are bombing the factory and how many are attacking ground units, during your combat movement.

@Tex:

I have a question?

When bombers just attack a factory, do the land units attack the bomber even when Im just attacking the factory?

No, never.  On a strategic bombing run, it’s just the bomber against the AA gun.

When I surprise attack a bunch of ships(say 5) with one sub, do all of them attack or just one?

They will all attack (defend).  If the sub hits, then just the boat that is sunk by the sub will not fire back, but the other 4 will.  If one of the ships is a battleship, it could absorb the hit and they would all fire back (in the first round, anyway).

It is impossible to take Libya and also attack Southern Europe with all 4 ground units.  I will unflag Libya and take 1 IPC away from USA

You can never move AA guns in combat move - move it after the battle.
You always roll all dice before making non-combat moves

You moved destroyer to Z14 as well (not listed) and BOTH fighters from EUS to GBr

That is not even nice.
You will take 2 hits to battleships, lose 2 subs, 2 destroyers, carrier….

I’m not sure whether you want to keep battleships or fighters…
Anyway, you have 2 units left - which 2 are you keeping?

At least you suffered this blistering roll in a learning game…  I would hate to be on the wrong end of that one in a tense, competitive game.
Map attached, if you want to use it.

1942 game 04b.AAM

@Tex:

If my sub encounters an enemy sub, do they battle each?

Only if the defender wants to.  If the attacking sub does not attack with a destroyer, the enemy sub can immediately submerge and no dice will be rolled.  However, if the defender wants to fight, he may.  But each round the attacker AND defender may choose to submerge and quit fighting.

How many times can a ship fire at land units?

Only once.  In the first round of combat.Â

Can a tank blitz through a territory then attack enemy units?

Yes, always.  But the first territory must be totally empty (no units, no factory, and no AA).
