Can a transport leave hostile SZ and unload into friendly territory?

@Panther great thnx!

@panther Thanks, will need to be more careful with my transports then.

@Panther Thanks old chap. Much appreciated.

Cruisers don’t have any AAA-capabilities. What are you referring to?

The Carrier and the Fighter (defending in the air) each have a shot against the attackers according to their respective defense value (2 and 4).

I find the concentrated bomber strategy very interesting as an approach for the US, for the reasons outlined here - the cost of getting US infantry into the action is incredibly high, so much so that Air power compares much better vs. land forces  for the US than for other nations.

How many bombers is too many? I was picturing maybe 2 US bombers on US1, but for the purposes of strategic bombing, the early IPCs denied will be magnified throughout the game, so perhaps a US1 buy of 3 bombers makes sense?

Unless Japan was posturing in range of a US attack, I imagine I would build the bombers in western US and then send them directly to the UK for use in SBRs vs. Germany (or sinking/deterring a German fleet). Would you agree?

I actually prefer the opposite. No defense roll, can be taken as casualty at any point.

It can only hold if you are lucky dice. I myself seem to always roll below avgerage. And a friend of mine is always above average. So I tend not to play him head on. and we team up alot in 4 player games.

china can be wiped out in 1 round…

Priority #1 for the Japanese wrt the continent.
