Aircraft Carrier Question

If you’re using 2nd edition, you don’t need anything from Alpha 3, as it’s all been incorporated into the 2nd edition.  Use the 2nd edition setups, which can be found here.

Thanks krieghund!

Your right sir Bombs alot.  Planes vs Subs w destroyers should be a 1:1 Ratio.

Good idea Mellemhend.

So in the manual it states that defending carriers planes are considered to be defending in the air.  It also states that units trapped on a damaged carrier cannot participate.  I was always under the assumption that when a sub attacks a loaded carrier that… 1) if it only scores one hit and damages carrier then the planes are trapped until it can get back to a friendly naval base 2) If it scores two hits then carrier and all cargo are lost since they don’t participate in battle against subs w/o a destroyer present.  If this is not the case then it seems to me that there is no way for cargo to get trapped on a carrier?

@robbie358:

I suppose I should’ve called this thread “MY own personal questions about A&A rules answered in vague terms by other users who don’t contribute questions of thier own” instead of putting anything about the official FAQ on it.

So how exactly do I explain to the other people I play A&A with about everyone’s two-cent rules clarifications if it’s not in an FAQ from Wizards?

If you want an official answer, use the G40 FAQ

Nope, they start counting the first zone they “move” into.

Remember they are considered air borne at the beginning of the turn so they do not ride on the carrier, they just land on it later.

@Krieghund:

You guys are right, the USSR would simply not get the units.  However, the Soviets only have to control the territory during the Mobilize New Units phase, not for the entire turn.

Good point, kinda like the Burma Road (or any NO). Just decide if its worth the resources to take it back to get the free inf.
