Its a lot like how combat in Fortress America works with d8, d10 (1 push/retreat 2-5 miss 6+ hit)

No need to be sorry. Happens to some new people.

Welcome to site.  :-D

@Private:

SBR –
a) When you are attacking more than one facility in the same territory, Triple A incorrectly fires AA at all bombers together, allowing the attacker to choose tactical bombers illegally, potentially.  Each facility should fire AA at only the bombers attacking that facility. (is in Triple A notes)
c) Triple A does not allow SBR of a territory that you walked into on combat move (is in Triple A notes)

Yea this would be nice if it worked correctly. TBs are used as extended escort until you KO w/e they’re bombing

@Young:

… but 100 transports defending against 1 attacking sub are all toast within a single combat round… right?

Yes, because transports on defense can’t retreat.  That’s the huge difference.

@creeping-deth87:

I’m surprised there isn’t a more definitive answer. I CAN’T be the first person to think of doing this.

I’m not seeing anything in the rules that would disallow it. A carrier is a valid landing space for any fighter or tac bomber, the rules don’t mention ensuring sufficient capacity for landings.

It is pretty much definitive. It says you can’t send them on suicide missions (or some wording akin to that).

As the others have mentioned. You need to have a potential landing spot to send aircraft to fight. If only having 2 potential landing spots (assuming perfect rolls), you can only dedicate two air planes.

Well I like it because it brings mongolia into the war.  I think Mongolia has too many troops, but well…

BTW they addressed the whole ftrs fly from Manch out to sea and attack Amur.  No starting units in Manchuria/korea can be used in the Attack.  So those planes need to come from carriers or Japan.

The rules make it a challenge, but like anything else, it has it’s time and place in the game. Wait for your opponent to leave a factory undefended with aircraft, or to slow down their economy when they need it most. IMO, Germany should have 2-3 bombers by G6 or G7 and should use them to make Russia spend precious dollars to repair ICs, while simultaneously combining with original Luftwaffe/methodical small naval purchases to keep the Allied fleets at bay.

But… losing a bomber sucks.  :oops:
