They can attack, too. But you need to ensure that your attacking fighters are able to land safely either on the AC or on a friendly territory. What the rulebook meant is simply that combat and non-combat moves of the AC and the fighters are dealt separately.
Magnetic carriers
-
attempting to make the carriers magnetic, what glue would be best to use?
the magnetic tape works great for the carriers, but the adhesive on the tape doesn’t stick well to the planes. -
Drill 2 small holes partway through a fighter, and 2 small holes through the magnetic tape. Put the magnetic tape on the fighter, aligning the holes, then put 2 small bits of wire in each hole and clip the wires off. Remove the tape and cut the wires a bit shorter so they won’t stick out of the tape. Now reassemble and use superglue.
This is called “pinning”, and is something that hobbyists use a lot. For the drill, use a Dremel or pin vice (hand drill)

Seems like it would be difficult and tedious to do it that way, even though I’m sure thats the best way to do it.
is it not possible to just superglue the tape to the plane? will it fall off without the pinning. or is it possible to just superglue a piece of metal (cut pieces of paperclips) to the fighters. I would rather not deal with drilling every plane and chance making mistakes, i don’t have extra pieces. -
My cousin glued magnetic strips to the bottom of the planes. We’ve played five or six games like this and only a couple of strips have fallen off. All-in-all, I’d say glueing is the way to go.
Page four of IL’s map thread has some comments on magnets and flight stands.

Make sure when you use superglue both surfaces are clean. Superglue should do the trick.

Also, this link. It was on another topic in AA42. It seems like the guy used nail tips and small magnets. Neat job.
