Hi,
I don’t see this ability in AAP40 (it is listed in AAE40).
Is it done on purpose for this game ?

It also applies to AAP40, and was corrected in the FAQ.

Sometimes it can get a little confusing in island sea zones which units are in the sea zone and which are on the island. The statement is intended to make sure the attacker indicates which air units are which, since they can in many cases get to either space.

Sure, I hear what you’re saying, but it really didn’t take me long to get the fleet back to a position. And I don’t recall the ANZAC transport being an easy kill in J2 - my opponent doesn’t throw it away so easily.

And what else is there for the Japanese navy to do? It’s not like the USA navy is going to move in right away because of this move. There’s till plenty of navy at the Phillipines.

I have no need to persuade you. I think it’s a good move, and will likely do it again in the future. Yes, it invites ANZAC to attack you with fighters (depending on how much J brings down) and perhaps invites the USA to venture farther west, but that’s fine with me. It’s like a trap.

@UN:

@calvinhobbesliker:

@UN:

Did you also put in the 10 Chinese infantry? :?

yeah. Keep in mind that japan had 8 more planes than the allies.

I still call it luck. Grumble

I have a question. I think, since Japan has no navy at ALL in the Dutch East Indies I can have ANZAC send its submarine fleets to disrupt convoys there. But I’m not sure exactly how convoy disruptions work. It said it can’t exceed the combined IPC value of all adjacent territories or islands in the disrupted sea zone.

So if I had 4 submarines in SZ42, the most amount of IPC I can destroy is 19 IPCs (3 from Malaya, 4 from Sumatra, 4 from Java, 4 from Boreno, 3 from Celebes)?

Z42 only borders Java, so you can only disrupt Java for 4 ipcs

You seem to have it all correct. Your planes can not hit the subs because you do not have a destroyer in the battle. Japan may not remove them as a casualty, if you hit with your planes.

The Japanese subs also don’t get to shoot, if all you have fighting in the naval portion of this attack are planes.

The only time an aircraft is EVER going to get “trapped” on a carrier, is if you use a carrier on your own turn that has a multinational fighter on it and you have attacked with that carrier, and taken a hit on it.

So basically, this “can’t” happen to you, unless you go out of your way to make it happen, during an attack. It may make sense to do this, is some certain bizare scenario’s. But Don’t be worrying yourself about it.

Now that said, once the carrier is tipped, the aircraft trapped on it cannot be used at all, until that carrier is repaired.

The more real likely hood, is, that if you are not careful, you may, wish to take fgt’s as hits as oppossed to tip your carrier, in attacks or defense, so that your aircraft will have a friendly place to land, if the carrier is totally at sea, with no island or territories in or adjacent to the sea zone, and no other possible carriers in range, to pick up the aircraft.

AA 1940 Pacific has been released for 18 Days (Not 1 month as someone said, closer to a 1/2 month).

Let’s see if this question changes over the weeks/months.

Hawaii on round 1 is a pretty dicey proposition.

With no shore shot hits, the odds are about 20% of taking the Island.
If one shore shot hits, you are at 41%.
If two shore shots hit, you are at 76%.
Yes, you can get a third shot, but I would count on three hits.
This assumes that you attach the Islands with all three transports including 3 infantry, 1 artillery and 1 tank (max 5 units since you only have 1 at Caroline)
Bottom line is that you need to be fairly lucky to take Hawaii round 1.
I think the payoff is huge, but I can’t reccomend building your strategy around something that has such a high chance of failure.

If you fail badly (brick) then the counter attack could be pretty ugly. The US has 8 planes that can reach along with 5 ships. That is 13 total units. You have (If I recall correctly) 15 total units that can reach, including 6 carrier aircraft. You will likely win. However, since they will be getting a check for $62, they can afford the losses, but you probably cannot. You gained nothing on round 1 except a few territories in China.

Too much of a crap shoot for my tastes.
