@calvinhobbesliker:
Well, the definition of “eligible landing space” includes a sea zone where a carrier will be built in the Mobilize new units phase
Calvin’s right. It’s in the rulebook. Page 28 under “aircraft carriers”, last sentence on the page
Oh - it’s the one you quoted in the first place!
They put the parenthetical remark in the wrong sentence. Move it back to the sentence that says “Landing doesn’t actually occur until the Mobilize New Units phase, so air units and carriers must end their movement in the same sea zone (note that this can include a sea zone in which a new carrier will be placed during the Mobilize New Units phase)”
Makes more sense now, doesn’t it? I see how the way it was written could be confusing. But the “group” totally hosed you by voting it down, and now you can tell them that! :-D
