That is a no go Bardoly. I would like to see Kreighund spell out the exact “official” Air unit retreat rules as they are a little less clear than in previous versions.
he subs do not have to be destroyed before the transport. Once the attacker can no longer hit the subs, ie. just air left the transports are toast as there are no longer units that can defend them. See page 19 in the manual. I think one of teh FAQs also cleared up the wording for the side bar that is on page 19 a bit as it says submerged submarines and air units.
This is from one of the FAQs that cleared up the poor wording.
Q. On page 29 it says that your aircraft may hit enemy submarines if you have a destroyer in the
sea zone, but it doesn’t say anywhere in the rules that aircraft can’t hit submarines without a
destroyer present. Do you always need a destroyer in a battle in order for your air units to hit
enemy subs?
A. Yes. Air units can only hit subs if there is a friendly destroyer on the battle board, otherwise hits made
by air units must be applied to units other than submarines. If you’re the attacker, destroyers in the same
sea zone belonging to your ally don’t count, since they’re not involved in the battle.
I agree with Frimmel’s assessment 100%,
I have a friend I play occasional face to face. He is very good at crunching numbers but sucks at strategic decisions and more especially at making “command” decisions. While he can crunch the numbers very well his lack of being able to make strategic decisions and the indecision this creates for him kills his play.
The early versions of Pacific had the Red Japanese.
I really prefer the 2 hit HBs. Sure they can do some damage but they have no staying power in combat. Myself I was never worried about them if my opponent got them.
