@aequitas-et-veritas @ssgen I should have flagged all of the old crew as well. Mobility means less on the smaller maps (AA50 even). Carrier manipulation is THE hallmark of G42/tournament play and all G40 variants. In my current game (G42/7 turns/221) against the relentless and indomitable MAPHEAD dave I have 5 Japanese carriers just to port all my planes around.
Does a carrier autokill a transport?
-
Having a debate with another player, he has moved an empty carrier into a SZ where I have a transport to claim an autokill. However, because a carrier has no attack value, combat cannot occur, right? Therefore the empty carrier alone cannot kill my transport?
-
You are correct. A carrier can’t hit any unit on attack, only on defence.
-
Keep in mind that this is dependent on whether the carrier has an attack power or not, which in different versions of AxA it may (42.2 = 14/1/2/2, one hit point). The carrier attacks at zero in Global (only?).

I posted this question a few years ago under the title “Ramming speed”. But alas… my proposal was rejected!

The question was posed in the Global 1940 forum so I assume that’s what he was playing.

Roger, just wanted to remind that G40 ruleset is the exception here, to all other versions IIRC.
