@Charles:

One thing to clearify: someone earlier said that the US could capture an IC in Manchuria. Impossible. 1 US won’t capture Manchuria but instead China will assume control(liberating a territory) 2 Any IC in China is immediately destroyed if an Allied power liberates that territory or China simply captures it.

Now, my advice:
Only build an IC in Manchuria if you are threatening Russia. If you aren’t threatening Russia build an IC in Shantung or Kiagsu(for anti China) or Undo China or kwangtung or Malaya for anti India. Several ICs can be good. I personally like to buy an IC in Shantung J1 and (j1) attack) an IC in Indochina J2 and an IC in Kwangtung in J 3.

Wrong game. This is 1942, where China isn’t a country.

But the rule says “any accompanying battleships and cruisers in that sea zone,” so that loophole doesn’t exist.

Wow, I was hoping for a bit better luck in that naval battle, but I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised…(you survived with 3 fighters and a damaged BB). I actually think I’m going to surrender, since the US is way too weak to fight either of the Axis sides…

Sorry for the double post. Again, I’d like order of losses before I roll the naval battle.

Second bump.

@regularkid:

There are 10 planes in the battle (5 fighters, 5 tac bombers)

Four planes started in sz 31 (wake). They have 3 movement left, and can land on Marshall Islands.

The remaining six planes can land on the carriers. (The carrier from Caroline islands hasn’t moved yet. It’ll move during non-combat if need be).

Yes, you’re right…my bad.

No scramble.

Russia attacking Japanese controlled Chinese territories bordering Mongolia also counts as Russian aggression.

Hold on…you moved 4 planes from the Carolines and 4 planes from SZ33 to SZ26, so you have 8 planes that have only 1 move left in noncombat. However, you only have 3 carriers, so 2 of them have no safe landing spot…am I missing something?

So, if Germany takes Southern France, say, what happens to the Vichy French territories? The rules say that the Vichy French units are disbanded, but do the territories remain pro-Axis neutral? Do they revert to Free French?

@Young:

Is there really any reason to bomb the London factory if there is no intension to conduct sealion?

Well, it would slow down any Atlantic fleet construction, but the UK can build a bit more slowly in Canada instead…
