SBR question

No; not in that case.

@pfc_pander:

… I though you might be able to move your fighter during non-com to the sea zone that the carrier will be built in but wasn’t sure if that’s allowed.

…

1942 2nd edition and/or anniversary

It is allowed in both games.

Welcome to the A+A boards, BigKahuna!

Hoping that you have your answers already, but here goes:

1.  Strategic bombing raids (SBRs) ONLY attack the industrial complex of a territory, not the units therein.  If your game is playing without fighter escorts (optional rule decided by players ahead of time), the defender gets to roll his AA gun for each bomber SBRing the territory (killing a bomber for each 1 rolled), and that’s it.  If you’re playing with fighter escorts, check the errata to see how many shots the defender gets for the fighter(s) stationed ONLY in the industrial complex’s territory.  Surviving fighters don’t get to bomb the factory.  Other than that, the other units in the territory don’t get to participate.

2.  Usually that’s the case with this game, getting enough people to actually play a 5 person game.  Team up, of course!  Usually UK and Russia go well with the same person, sometimes I see UK and the USA by the same person.  If only two people, obviously Axis and Allied teams.

3.  Shoot, just use a pad and paper, but probably 30 of each should be more than enough.  IPCs usually in the range of 50-60 per side at their highest.

@Fighter:

Whatever fleet you build as UK, you are free to place in the seazones around UK. Then on the german players turn, he has 2 options: stay and fight against whatever fleet you might have built, or to run away.

This is correct. You may put new naval units in a zone that still contains enemy units.

Thank you!

The biggest thing is that submerging occurs after BOTH sides have fired.

You can;t charge in with subs, fire sneak attacks, and then submerge to avoid a counter-attack by any surviving defenders.  The defenders get to fire back, then before anyone fires again, both attacking and defending subs can choose to submerge (leaving the battle)

In the SZ, your ftrs can also land on an allied carrier that has vacancies.

Carriers have room for 2 ftrs.

Your can move a carrier into combat along side your ftrs in a SZ. Assuming your units survive, 2 of your ftrs can land in that same SZ on the battling carrier.

@Michael:

1. Can fighters and Bombers attack Battleships, Destroyers and/or Transports unnassisted (without naval units)? :o

2. Where 4 (four) land/sea areas come together in one spot, can you move units diagonally across the “four corner” area? Example can you move directly from Berents sea to Karelia? Can you move directly from Western Mediteranian to Tunisia?
:-?

1 - yes (note transports cannot initiate a naval battle, they have an attack of zero)

2 - no, thats 2 moves! cheater! :)
