Carrier Question

[General Di Caro]

Even though carriers have 0 attack value, may they be used in naval combat to enter a hostile seazone and absorb hits while your other units fight?

Yes

[Imperious Leader]

Yes, and for that privilege, the fighters on it no longer can take off from it or land till you get it repaired.

So go ahead and take that hit, you take 3 pieces out of circulation with one hit.

[General Di Caro]

For that reason I keep my carriers back and out of combat.

Unless the seazone you’re moving to battle in has your own adjacent airfield and/or port (especially airfield for the scrambling of fighters).  In which case it’s a free soaker hit with no real drawback.

Just a quick question : So the AC now has 0 attack. What is his defense? Still 2?

Did they modify the defense on the battleboard?

0/2/2/16 with 2 hits.  the battleboard is incorrect and lists it as attacking on 1.
