Airbase/Naval Base construction on island

@1Bean432:

That territory is considered full-friendly after you captured it during your turn.

So now that its after your turn, its defiantly friendly to the point where you can land planes there.

tl:dr Yes

I think you meant to say “definitely”

@Funcioneta:

Siam is original Japanese (it has a japanese simbol). Manchuria should be as well because historically it was from 1931, but that’s not the case in our game

Yeah, but Manchuria is a Chinese place. Like the Soviets took it, but it’s not like okay this place is Japanese let’s keep it. They are just adding realism to the game. at least i think :|

I wouldn’t go to house rules as an option. Its a tough time for the allies, but you have to counter. If they build carriers, try building a bunch of subs. Their cheap to take hits, almost 3 to 1 cost of a carrier to dodge bullets. If you attack chances are you can ding the carriers and take out DD’s, and your allies can finish the job before Jap can fix them. Try to set up 3 fleets, all similar so if they attack one, you can counter a weakened Jap fleet with the other 2 before they repair. As for the Asian ground battle 3 IC would be tough. I’ve seen 2 and that was a bitch. It is easier for the UK if Jap has air, because its hard for them to protect newly taken tt. If they are dropping that much $ in tanks though ($6 a pop) like $40-$50 ipc they can’t be putting to many DD’ or other cheap ships into their navy making it more vulnerable IMO.

There are rules that list what happens when a facility becomes inoperable. losing their AA ability isn’t on the list, they still have it.

@leddux:

Just to make sure I understand…
You still need a transport to go from the Aleutians to mainland Alaska?

Yes you do. They are islands.  Just like you need a transport from Cylon to India (Calcutta).

It is the same distance with even more favorable weather.
@!ACHTUNG!:

I don’t think so

What is your reasoning for your thought?  Besides what is perceived as closeness due to the way the map was made.

Plus during this time, 1940 to 1945, there were even less roads and infrastructure available.  Much less than other areas of the world.  In fact we are still limited on infrastructure. Bridge to Nowhere that was brought up in the last presidential election ring any bells?  People do not understand just how remote it is up here.

In fact all the cities going towards the Aleutian Islands on the Aleutian Peninsula still do not have roads connecting them today.  It was even worse in 1940.

In fact it takes the Alaska Marine Highway a three week turn just to get out to Unalaska (which is close to Dutch Harbor which was the only real base on the ALeutians during WWII).  THis is in modern day where ships travel about 3 to 5 knots faster at cruise speed.

I have a negative comment on your comment about negativity, but this time I will keep my comment to myself. :-D

@MaherC:

if you have 6 planes on an AB do they all have to scramble or can you hold some back?

Just as with fighter interceptors for SBRs, you may scramble some, all or none of your fighters and tactical bombers from an island airbase.

@jeffdestroyer:

If the UK sends an AA gun to China…it would put them at war with Japan…correct.?

You could do this as early as UK2 without too much downside. I’d think Japan will be attacking or disrupting convoys by J3 anyway.
