Sub rules question

@Der:

I guess I get it but don’t like it.  :x

What about the loaded transports - can they be held back or are they forced participate in the sea battle before offloading?

All combat moves are made at the same time and are considered simultaneous for game proposes. So they are forced to participate on the battle as well.

You have to wait a turn.

Blitzing is a combat move, where you blitz through an unoccupied territory and take it, either to engage in combat in an adjecent territory or to move (or return) to an adjecent friendly territory.

In your case your combat movement phase has ended, since you have already resolved combat in China. You can not take Sinkiang in this turn then, since it would be a combat move.

That’s correct.

@iGuitar93:

Yes I have previously played risk. I thought it was too much of a game of luck so I tried this one.

A&A is also a mixture of skill and luck, although you can use a Low Luck system that greatly diminishes the random factor built into it.

Yes, it’s legal, as long as the carrier has a landing spot that’s not spoken for.  However, if you end up having to retreat your fighter will be lost, as it has no movement left.

Thanks for the welcome, and thanks for the reply!  I’m still getting used to this new version… (old MB original player)

Now that I’ve read up on sub vs sub, I’m happy to know that the defender has to declare submersion before the megalomaniacal attacker rolls. Upon exploring this escort/interceptor rule, hearing that escorts without defending interceptors are useless, I got to thinking. Does the defender declare if he is using interceptors before the strat bombing? It would suck to bring your airforce in to risk aa fire and not be of use due to the defender deciding not to use his fighters as interceptors. I suggest
1. Declare strat bombing
2. Defender declares interceptors
3. Attacker declares escorts
4. combat ensues.

I know it won’t fly, so to speak, but just as my pals were waiting to see if my attack sub would miss before deciding to submerge, a rule I will have to school them on… I feel the defender has an opportunity to dupe the attacker into sending fighters into a trap. I understand the defender needs the advantage, but I would like the opportunity to turn my escorts around when there is no resistance. Pros?
