@wittmann:
Thanks again Krieg and thank you for getting in before I misled Boldfresh.
Simply stated, to Bombard from a SZ there must be an amphibious landing from that SZ.
Makes sense.ah that makes it crystal clear. 20 land units could unload from z112 and 1 land unit from z113 and you could have 1 cruiser bombard from Z112 and 20 cruisers bombard from Z113.
sweet, very good to know!
Right, now you guys got it.
Now the $64,000 question…
Does TripleA do it right? :-)
can china repair airbase / naval base?
@Cow:

You will need confirmation from Krieghund whether this is definitely correct, but I’d like to take a stab.
I think no.
Reasons:
I think I just realized there is a deeper question.
Can air or naval bases in a territory controlled by the Chinese even be used?
Edit: Yes, air and naval bases in China can be used by China and any ally.
No, air and naval bases in China can never be repaired by China (or Allies)
Hi Gamerman. It is definitely no to Cow’s question.
But I too was also wondering about the repercussions.
Bases are not destroyed. Am sure Krieg has said that, so that means they remain on the board damaged until the Japanese recapture them(if ever).
Seems silly the Allies cannot repair and use them. Only the Japanese.
Maybe it reflects the Chinese not wanting too much Allied help and interference in their national affairs.
Oh well.
The Allies (including China) can use them, but China cannot repair them.
Thanks Krieg, but if they are damaged when they are recaptured by the Allies surely they stay damaged as long as Japan does not repair them? How can the Allies repair a base belonging to another(China) nation?
Have we got that right?

You may not. Hence, you should be careful not to dmg property in China you may need before Japan will repair it. (Likewise, Japan should caution not to repair what they cannot hold!)
Thanks Jen.
Makes sense as Nations cannot lend money to each other, so how could it be repaired by the Allies?
Was surprised to hear the Chinese Ft could use the Base though.
Edited previous post with the answer, to prevent confusion
Talk to Jenn for the finer points, but basically,
Axis can bomb and damage an air or naval base in China and it will be permanently out of commission (until an Axis power takes it over and fixes it) (minimum 3 damage required, of course)
Tac bomber stock just went up, but you have to send a strat bomber to have 100% chance of disabling (if you get by the AA/interceptors)
Do Industrial Complexes on Chinese territory get REMOVED? or are they just -useless- ?
I’ve forgotten…

can the chinese fighter attack Japanese ships off the coast?
can the chinese fighter attack Japanese ships off the coast?
No. The Chinese fighter is not permitted to move outside of territories that are originally chinese plus burma/kwangtung. Seazones are included in that restriction, so the chinese fighter cannot enter any seazone.

Could the chinese fighter in a legal coastal territory scramble against an amphib if the territory it was in had an airbase? I’m not sure how scrambling and moving are related. The piece has technically moved into the sea zone, but it hasn’t used any movement points to do so.

No, China cannot use bases.
Just a few posts up Krieghund says chinese can use bases.
Whoops - you’re right. That’s what I get for not double checking for once - was in a hurry
I don’t know if China can scramble, or if they can only use the base to go 5 spaces. You’ll probably need Krieghund on that one
IMHO it would be better if the Chinese rule wasn’t that they raze the infrastructure to the ground, but that they could build Artillery at factories on Chinese soil.
They can already get arty from the burma road bonus. This would just allow them to get those units instead of removing the factory piece. (which actually should never happen)
Can you imagine how much effort the Chinese forces have to be exerting to DE-INDUSTRIALIZE an area?
Peasants and conscripts working 24/7 tearing down factories with their bare hands.
I am curious as to how this rule came about when designing the game….what went through Larry’s head.
Were there alternatives?
China cannot scramble its fighter.
China cannot scramble its fighter.
Well, that clears that one up. I guess since they can’t go into sea zones they can’t scramble.
