Tactical Bomber (rule?) question

@panther

Thank you for responding! Sorry.

@Playing-Kid

Indeed that link points to an unrelated old document referring to the 1999 edition.

When on the AH-site better visit this place for the latest rules and FAQ:
https://avalonhill.wizards.com/rules

You will find the correct link to the 1940 2nd ed. FAQ there:

(Still not the latest version, that should be of November 2014, but you can go with it.)

the rules ensure that the TTs cant really do double duty that way (you can use them twice but its not faster) though it is fun to imagine bringing along an extra transport during the US cross to load up those brave, brave, no-combined arms Frenchies from North Africa.  Or brits.  The rules just make it too choppy to implement very well.

A much better exploit is

flying into the attack with fighters u moved 4
landing them planes on an allied carrier, then it moves 3
then it gets attacked, you help defend, it blows up, you move 1 more

you moved 8 spaces with a fighter and fought twice in 1 turn lol

@creeping-deth87:

… I think it’s just an old holdover from Anniversary or something.

Yes indeed, it has been an Anniversary rule. Starting from Spring 1942 the refund rule has been implemented.

@calvinhobbesliker:

China can’t be convoyed, but you should be able to convoy 3 IPC’s from Russia.

Thanks for the rule quotation.
This means that it is not possible for Russia to be convoyed from SZ 19 via Manchuria (which would become a chinese liberated TT) but only SZ 6 via Korea (3 IPCs).

@kcdzim:

In addition to what was already stated by Moralecheck -

While the game engine may sometimes allow it, you are not technically allowed per the game rules to load during the combat phase if those units cannot or will not be used for an amphibious assault during that combat phase.

Yes, I understand. I was assuming that they could be offloaded at some point that turn, but either way it would have ended up being the same if I loaded them in combat move or non-combat, since they could do nothing either way.

House rule:  Submarines fire at 2 on defense if there is no enemy destroyer present…?

No. It just stays there.

(Unless it is in a Chinese territory… then it is removed.)
