This is more of an opinion than a loop-hole but feel free to comment or advise.

So this probably won’t come up that often but; If the U.K. Lands a fighter or two on Lennigrad or even the Baltic states from an aircraft Carrier in the Event that Russia delcared war on Japan (making the landing eligible) on lets say U.k. 2 or 3, Germany Could be attacking, winning, destroying everything, including the fighters on G3 or 4.

This would not invalidate: " Collect 5 IPCs if the convoy in sea zone 125 is free of Axis Warships. Archangel is controlled by the Soviet Union, and there are no units belonging to any other Allied or Axis powers present in any territories originally controlled by the Soviet Union."

The Bristish fighter(s) would be dead but hopefully have taken out a few German units.

Does anyone see any greater impact?

You know SalothSar it does take two to tango

If you have something personal to say to me, PM me. With that said let’s stick to A&A topics and not spam up these posts with snippy snipeing.

I agree.  This thread topic is dead because of the new rules anyway.

On another note I did play a weird game last night and a non-sea lion attack on the U.k. occured in the English Channel.

Germany built two aircraft carriers in the North Sea in sea zone 112. He manuevered subs and plans and sank evey British Vessel in the North Atlantic except for one battle ship and the supporting destroyer.  turn two I managed to get my carrier, crusiser and tac bomber to the channel but he blew everything up turn two.  The good news is, is that he is down two planes.  The bad news is is that he has two carriers, a battleship and a cruiser sitting in hte English channel and can load fighters on them.  What the hell do I do?

I’m just wondering if the focus on the other countries without having to commit dozens of infantry and PLanes and time on China wold pay off.  I don’t think it will but I am trying to think out side the box.  It is probably best to smash China.

As an Idea, what if Japan just ignores China altogehter?  China can basically defend Hong Kong, so Japan misses out on that Victory City and it’s mainland Territories while throughing it’s bulk against U.K. et. al…

Probably a crazy idea.

I found it hard to build more than 5 or 6 units on the mainland anyway.  Two minor factories may be a bit better.  One Near Russia and one on Hong Kong.

Though they can still build a major factory in Korea.

No more Free French Navy?  :cry:

I think that’s a typo

It looks like the U.K. gets a few more boats in the Atlantic though.  Maybe this makes up for it.

My bad, I was just taking a bit of a dig at you.  I will say this about you Salothsar, I liked your bombing Gibralter idea.  I just think it may have to be the Italians, not the Germans doing the bombing.

For the record I’m 37.

…or spell.

Thanks for clearing things up guys.

@Daedelus:

Page 20 in the Europe rule book says you can land on allied aircraft carriers.  Look at the 5th full paragraph.  Page 21, 7th Paragraph down says “…can land in a sea zone with a friendly carrier present.”

Look under the global rules

I can’t seem to find anything in the global rules to contridict the above.  What page is it on?

I don’t have the rules handy… as I recall it is mentioned in a blue box

I couldn’t find any blue box.  Was it online somewhere?

As I understand (understood) it if two friendly power are both at war, they can:

1. Land on each others carriers

2. Defend together

3. Launch attacks on each of their turns (i.e. 1 U.K. ftr, 1 russian ftr and 1 USA carrier).

Can some one please clarify because I was informed that this is not possible.

thanks in advance.

@calvinhobbesliker:

None of this matters because Krieg has confirmed that Russia declaring war on Japan keeps it neutral on the Europe board.

So this is offical?

As I underderstand the rules, Russia can land planes on U.K. territories if they are at war with Japan (this may be changed with upcomming rules revisions, I’m not sure).  So can Russia, if at war with Japan, land it’s fighters on U.K. carriers?

I was thinking that they could use the Gibralter carrier R2 if U.K. brings it to the English Channel.  This could be used as a bridging point to get to the U.K. (via the Baltic) or, more importantly, help defend during the sea Battle, leaving the U.K. Fighters free to defend the land.  Most Importantly this would mean that German would have to declare war on Russia (G3) to attack the planes if they were at sea.

Could the rules work this way?

If So Russia couls start German Smashing R3 with most of Germany’s troops poised for a Sea Lion Attack.  Probably what would happen is Germany would call it off and transport those troops to Lennigrad.

Thoughts anyone (yes, you too SalothSar)?

I think it was covered that the U.S.A could take it over if Britain falls.  Or is it only if they recapture it from An Axis Power that they can control/repair the port?

It’s a consideration no?  So it would have to get bombed again, by who?  U.S.A. goes in and does it’s damage.  Besides this is all theoretical and if we want to look at all of the options I thought I would mention it.  Also wasn’t bombing the Port your idea in the first place?

I am just saying the U.k. COULD repair it.  Who knows what will actually happen in a game.

So you think too, before you type.  You kind of came off like someone who is a bit full of themselves.  I do like you Port bombing idea though and I will be building an Italian bomber to put it into effect.  Because let’s face it, the Med is Italy’s and Germans have bigger fish to fry.

@Daedelus:

If china or Russia captures the Manchurian Factory it is destoyed rather than being downgraded.  China can’t have any ICs.

Hey D…Isn’t that what I just wrote?

I think we posted at the same time.  :oops:

This means you have to bomb it with an Italian Bomber.  If Germany Bombs it (or Japan for that matter) the U.K. can repair it before the U.S.A. goes.  So the italians need to invest in a bomber or two.

Part of this game is deception.  As Germany I usually build a couple of transports in the Baltic to threaten sea-lion and kill all his destroyers.  Sometimes this will draw the U.k. Destoyer, Carrier and Tac. up to England to destroy the subs sitting off of Wales.  They are now not being used to sink Italian boats.
