Rule Clarification - Suiciding fighters due to insufficient aircraft carriers

[mrchoad]

I know when attacking with air units, they must have a friendly territory or carrier to land on.  But, is it legal if you bring 1 carrier within range and 4 fighters with the intent of suiciding 2 of the fighters, since technically each individual fighter has a safe place to land?

No, you would need 2 Carriers for 4 Air units.

Very Good Mister Choad!
Excellent Idea! However as Wittman points out, it’s Illegal.
However, that didn’t stop Japan in the “Real War”, but you already knew that :)
Just a Hello response. Saw you had one post and wanted to say “This is a cool place” :)
