ANZAC planes landing in Dutch territories (Java/Sumatra) on same turn they were taken by ANZAC

I usually use the Aussies to trade islands with the Japaneses, while building mostly navy with the Americans. I’ve seen an Australian navy used very effectively in a couple of cases, anyone have better success with one versus the other? Which is better?

@wittmann:

Yes. If you can reach them, you have to collect them.

Thx for the fast answer wittman :-)

Instead of thinking of it as the planes “moving with” the carrier, remember that the planes take off from the carriers into the air at the start of the combat move. Then the planes and the carrier actually move independently of one another.

It just happens that usually that more often than not your planes are going to land on the carrier and they will move the same number of spaces.

Ok.
Thank you for quick and clear answer (as you always do) and thanks Geist for helping.

Thank you Calvin.

These are listed on page 32 of the Europe Rulebook.

@Sgt.:

In AAP40 my one game as Japan resulted in a pretty easy win due to going all out on J1. But in Global you have to consider the USA getting that massive IPC boost if you attack UK/ANZAC. I find the best strategy is to focus on taking China and killing any Russian INF that get too close. Dare the UK to attack you early, if they do you get a free shot at the DEI.

That wont work as easily with alpha set up… J1 attack in Alpha is usually a bad idea if the allies know what they are doing.

Pretty much why I’ve always said that the roundels on the territories should all be from 1939, so you can simply place control markers according to the various starting set-ups.

For 1939 Netherlands should have the Dutch roundel as depicted, for a 1940 start it would be the inverted orange triangle symbol adopted to avoid confusion with the British and French red-white-blue colours.
