@xzorn:

Who bombs a territory that they intend to capture?

Since the invention of bombs, I would say just about everyone.

Why not just keep the carrier and lose the plane? You are assured another round of combat that way.
  I don’t thnik it’s a fair shake for the naval fighters to have only one space range to go to. Why not 2 spaces?
But to answer the Fine Question; All planes land in ther NCM phase…… doesn’t make any difference who lands first.

The WORST time to use it would be when you had only pickets on the frontier…

Wait for Germany to set up the sucker play (modest force on the front with Russia), then declare Russian Winter, attack, take out the modest stack, and invite the mass of German forces behind it to come after your INF as 3’s :-)

And if Germany passes on the attack, reinforce the endxt round and REALLY give Hitler somethign to worry about :-)

Then 5 minutes per nation, 10 minute break every 2 turns.
2 turns an hour.

Even then you would be hard pressed just to roll dice and move pieces in the allotted time, especially Japan by mid-game, and Germany early in the game.

oops. yes that’s right about the declaration.

Greenland is a territory worth 0 IPC that is owned by the US.

It does not count as an island for Axis and Allies Revised purposes.

I want to like the Kaitens, I really do.

Last night in a FTF session my opponent (as part of a major fleet-to-fleet combat) declared of his subs as Kaitens in an attack.  He designated 3 each to hit 2 battleships, then promptly rolled 6-4-4 and 2-5-4.

Kaitens hit on 3.

6 subs wasted, one battleship dinged.  If he had saved the subs as normal subs, he would have still scored just one hit with them, which still would have resulted in one battleship dinged, BUT he would have had the subs to use as fodder against my return fire.  I’m sure Kaitens can be useful in their place and that was certainly an unlikely roll, but I doubt he’ll select the Kaitens NA any time soon again!

PS - I would not have aimed those Kaitens at Battleships anyway… I would have sent 2 apiece after 2 Aircraft Carriers and my single Destroyer - take out the Destroyer and the rest of the (non-kaiten) subs get a sudden boost in power.

According to Larry Harris, Greenland is NOT and Island.
