This rule was actually changed from the way it was in Revised in order to prevent air units from getting an extra movement. In Revised, when a carrier was mobilized fighters were allowed to be moved from the territory containing the IC onto the carrier. Under that rule, a fighter could move from New South Wales and attack Japanese-held Western Australia, then fly back to New South Wales in noncombat movement, then be moved onto a new carrier in sea zone 62 in the Mobilize New Units phase, resulting in five spaces of movement.
Airbases & navy bases?
-
Thanks Krieghund. :-)
So, am I right in thinking that Fighters, Bombers and Tac-Bombers benefit from the +1 movement if the Airbase is built on either a land territory or island? I take it that works during both CM and NCM…
And, I trust that only Fighters can defend in the adjacent sea zone surrounding the island that the Airbase is built on?
Many thanks.

Tactical bombers can also, but strategic bombers cannot.
-
Krieghund, thank you again. :-)
As an aside, have regular bombers now been officially designated as 'Strategic Bombers’? Or are they still just ‘Bombers’?
-
Yes, due to the introduction of tactical bombers, what we used to call “bombers” will now be called “strategic bombers”.
-
When it comes to naval bases/ ports how will these be handled when it comes to takeover. Does one simply control the seazone that its in or do you have to launch an amphibious assault on the adjacent territory in order to capture it?
-
The naval base is part of the territory. If you control the territory, you control the base.
-
:lol: well alright man thanks for all your help, but do you happen to know what the cost of a stratigic bomber will be along with its attack and defense?
-
Opps I’ve seem to have answered my own question. Tac-Bombers will have an IPC cost of 11, attack 3 and defense of 3. With a movement of 4. Correct me if I am wrong but when combined with armor units’ attack increses to 4.
-
Thanks Krieg +1

You’re not wrong. They also get this bonus when paired with a fighter.

Krieg could you clarify what stat bombers will be able to do.
I would think they will SBR as always (with escorts).
I would think they will be allowed to attack ground units.
Will they be able to attack sea units. -
Back on subject, Will it be possible damage bases by using a system similar to SBR’s? Also will it be possible for the owner to sabotage their bases to prevent the enemy from using it in the event of it’s capture?

Will they be able to attack sea units.They aren’t changing. They still have the same capabilities as before.

Yes, and no.

Okay you stated that baases can be damaged? How does this affect them? Can they be repaired? and how? Can they be completely destroyed?
-
Lol a can of worms has been opened.
-
I guess you have some fish bait.

I can’t get too specific just yet. :-(
-
Krieghund, thank you for all your efforts.
I may be new here but I’ve been reading these boards for about a year or so now. I appreciate your hands are tied but do you know if WOTC will release any kind of weekly previews for the upcoming AAP40 game, like they did with Revised?
Many thanks again to you.
-
I wouldn’t count on it. I think that their allowing Larry and me to release some information about the game in advance is going to be the extent of their pre-release marketing campaign.
