Question about Tech Tree + Map

No.  Air units have different retreat rules.  They stay in the contested space until noncombat movement, then they move up to their remaining movement allowance (whatever movement was not used in combat movement) to a friendly territory or carrier.  Also, air units cannot establish a retreat route for land or sea units.

MY cousin has IL’s multi-colored '42 map printed, and we really like it. But any way you go, bigger is always better.

I thought IL had a '42 version that looked like the out-of-box map. Any reason you’re not considering that?

No, it doesn’t.

Thanks. I skimmed through the book one more time before asking, but couldn’t find anything.

Thx very much for your quick answer.

The off/unloading in one movement gibts especially japan and britain more possibilities then in the games we did so far.

The game is so great !!! Can’t believe it took me so long to find it ;)

@Fearless:

I hoping to do this without spending too much money.  If i could print out all the pieces individually perhaps I could tape the map together and use that until I get some cash to buy a real nice map later.  Yah its not nearly as nice but it would work.

I was thinking the same thing. Tape them together on the bottom and lay plexi-glass over the top. I was thinking of using glossy photo paper.

@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.

Therefore Saltz, keep that in mind in your strategies.  Always, I MEAN ALWAYS, have enough infantry fodder to bring to battle.  This is an economic war as much as anything.  If you keep losing tanks and planes on hits because you don’t have enough ‘fodder infantry’ to throw to the wolves you will surely lose your battles.  Unless of course your opponent’s buys are the same as yours.

Hey, there’s an idea.  Have a war with no infantry or artillery.  See how that works out.  Might be fun, never know.
