Scramble from Carriers?

Tnx for answers and opinions.

@mark-the-shark Agreed!

@warwick This question appears to be answered in the FAQ … I just missed it the first time through.

@noneshallpass I appreciate your emphasis on the owner of the airbase, but for the FAQ clarification, and the fact that all allies may use each other’s facilities, defend together, etc. I think a change in wording about the adjacent space, from “it has” to “there is” defending units or facilities, would bring it in line with my understanding. May be wishful thinking…

@sjelso Yes

@hbg-gw-enthusiast I would just add italicised texta clause saying something on the lines of “aircraft may not be placed on carriers during the place units phase” in that section, and a clause saying “newly built carriers may not be used to guarantee landing spots for fighters and tactical bombers.”
It is rather obvious is you look for it, but I think a FAQ or a additional clause is needed.

@noneshallpass said in Are Heavy Carriers not very good?:

@gen-manstein I am not sure what rules you are discussing.

The battleboard has the same stats for Attack and Defense for Heavy Battleships and each hits reduces the values by 2 (rule 7.8) : undamaged (10), 1 damage (8) and 2 damage (6).

Like all capital ships, they can be repaired at dockyards or shipyards (rule 7.4 and tables on page 54-55).

Paying IPP for the repair of capital ships by rolling a D6 is only an optional rule (15.5).

Ok thanks. Way talk was thought there wasn’t a reduction.

In version 1.2 (the current version) yes they can. In Version 3 (due out this month) no they can’t.
