Amphibious assault: Can you move units that don't bombard on the non com phase?

Thanks for the clarification.

Yes, you can move them around, but you have to wait until your next turn to do it.

@Lozmoid:

Even if those extra Fighters survive the battle and then have to crash into the sea?

Interesting stuff!  :-)

The thing is, you don’t know if those fighters will have to crash into the sea. They may end up on non-combat move without a valid landing spot but when you perform your combat moves there’s always a statistical change that the carrier will kill the 100 battleships (even though it should be about the same as you de-materializing while reading this message and materializing on the next room) thus the combat move satisfies the rule of a valid landing spot (regardless of how improbable it might be).

Combat moving 2 extra fighters to a battle goes against that same rule because there’s simply no possibility for those fighters to land during non-combat as they are moved (unless a carrier magically pops up out of nowhere into the middle of the battle board - odds for that happening should be the same as you teleporting yourself to another room) .

Smoke a bowl…

China’s first turn is treated in the same way as any other turn.  It gets the number of infantry indicated by the number of territories it owns at the beginning of its turn.

Jeffdestroyer is correct.  One infantry for every two territories means that odd territories don’t count.

actually, would be hilarious if defenders could fire back at ships who give openingsfire
‘oh no, i missed and that inf now killed our battleships!’
think it’s better now
in revised, japan landed 1 inf and killed 2 with openingsfire
and i also liek the rule : 1unit= 1 openingsfire, 2 units= 2 openingsfire

@a44bigdog:

I could see a problem with this on the board as we have two set ups for the game. Besides does it take that long to learn the set ups? I never look at the cards anymore when I resent my revised board.

You have a good point there, Bigdog.  Having the map preprinted with setups when you have two different set ups could lead to some confusion.
