Counting zones for aircraft movement

China needs to legitimize their hold over these fake island bases theyve conjured up. Every time they challenge us or some other power over them, and we back down, it makes their foot-hold a little more legit.

Highest I’ve seen without taking capitals is 60’s

@1Bean432:

That territory is considered full-friendly after you captured it during your turn.

So now that its after your turn, its defiantly friendly to the point where you can land planes there.

tl:dr Yes

I think you meant to say “definitely”

@Gragor:

Hey, Just wondering if you have a fighter on an AC and say you move that fighter to the adjacent sea zone. do you need to count one movement point to take off from the AC?

Aircraft movement is only counted when an aircraft crosses a map border:

Territory to Territory
Seazone to Seazone
Seazone to Territory
Seazone to Island

It’s one move to the adjacent seazone from a carrier seazone, but there is no movement point for “taking off”.  You may consider your planes as already/always in the air on your turn or an enemies turn (but not in the air on an allies turn - that’s when they’re cargo).

thanx a lot for the answer.

Thanks.  Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something!

@sliver:

Thanks, I’ll have to read the instructions again.  Now that I have played a little bit they may make more sense to me.

And read the Errata.  As the OOB rules aren’t clear or correct (in many many subtle ways)

HOWEVER….  If your units are in a seazone that was neutral or friendly but is now hostile due to recently placed ships (or declaration of war, in your example), you can choose to leave that seazone as a combat move and ignore the enemy warships there (in effect, retreating before the fight).  This is one of the very few, if not the only, combat move that doesn’t necessarily result in combat.  So I believe that any units in the shared seazone are NOT blocked from moving from that seazone by your lone destroyer, even if he declares war.  However, should he declare war, he HAS to move those units OR he HAS to fight the destroyer.

That only applies to shared seazones though.  he would not be able to move ships from another seazone THROUGH that seazone with the destroyer as you cannot move THROUGH a hostile seazone.  Only from it, or to it.

Thanks  :-D
