I played a game where the US left Japan alone and focused on the Atlantic. I, as Germany, built a carrier on the first round and placed it on the coast of W. Europe with a fighter and the rest of the kreigsmarine. It was a nice barrier and allowed some forces on paris to go elsewhere. The axis ended up winning, so I would say it’s worth a try. I definitely loved it.

Alright, thanks for the quick replay Yoper! Much appreciated.

Hey, we are in the middle of a game right now. The Uk is wanting to transport from the Uk to Karelia (his transports are starting off in Sz3). Is this legal? Thanks…

@Gargantua:

LOL that is DEFINETLY a typo on Kriegs part.

Gonna back him up here and say it’s hard to remember all the rules, for all versions of the game, at all times.

Fighters on the LAND in Japan cannot and will not defend the sea. not in 1942 anyway.

Oh good news! haha. In which version(s) can the fighters “scramble”?

@gloriae:

may the fleet attack Sz60 without (2) being attacked by Japanese fighters grounded in Japan?
No.  The Japan player would have the option to scramble air units in response to the attack.

This is disheartening news…haha.

Thanks for the welcome Krieghund! I will definitely be around on the forums, for the summer at least.

Hey guys,
May, for instance, an American fleet attack the defending Japanese naval units (in Sz 60) without (1) having to attack Japan itself, and if (1) is legal, then, may the fleet attack Sz60 without (2) being attacked by Japanese fighters grounded in Japan?
Thanks.
