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.

Well, that clears that one up. I guess since they can’t go into sea zones they can’t scramble.

It’s not just “de-industrialization”. The level of expertise to actually build a functional tank or plane is pretty high. Australian aircraft and tank design was lacking on their own, using mainly US or UK designs and equipment. Every major power could design duds. You’re suggesting China could design an air superiority fighter or a battleworthy tank just capturing a japanese factory? Kinda doubt it. These are the same peasants and conscripts you describe tearing down the factory. They aren’t going to put a squadron of tested planes together very quickly. :wink:
He didn’t say tanks and planes, he just said artillery, I think

yada yada yada. armor piercing shells then.

Well if the factory is captured, there’s a reasonable chance the tools and dies that Japan was using to make their equipment was captured with it. But that was not the point…
I think his point was that the factory that Japan built is immediately removed even if Japan retakes the territory right away. The massive infrastructure upgrade to the territory simply vanishes.
hey guys, quick question. Say America captures Denmark on its turn. Can UK go thru the straights on it’s turn or does the US have to hold it for an entire turn? Thanks in advance :-)
Yes. I’ve lost Germany more than once thusly. :|
Bump
does anyone ever consolidate the faq thread? i see there are two of
them and they are quite long.
