Question about building on IC on Malaya????

Oops, didn’t realize you were planning on building it US 2. US does not go before Japan.

@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).

@thrumpskin:

Do ipc’s “roll over” like phone phone minutes?

Yes, but more like a bank account.

The sea zone is hostile.  The transport must leave the sea zone in combat movement, unless other US units attack the destroyers.  In any case, no units may be loaded there.

yes.  they can disappear in to the dark deep sea and only the almighty destroyer can find them.

Whenever a carrier is attacked, its planes are assumed to be launched and defending in the air.  This is not optional.  If the carrier is hit, the planes can’t land on the carrier and must find another place to land within one space or be lost.

The only way that planes can be trapped on board a damaged carrier is if there are planes belonging to an ally on an attacking carrier.  Since it’s not their turn, the planes remain on the carrier as cargo rather than participate in the battle.  If the carrier is damaged during the attack, these “guest” planes will be trapped (unable to take off) until the carrier is repaired. If the carrier is attacked while still damaged, the planes will remain cargo.  They will be unable to launch and defend, and will be lost if the carrier is sunk.

right, so he can destroy the xport, or bombard, but not both.
