NB question

@Krieghund:

Note that if the allied air units are controlled by a different player, the decision whether to scramble those units is made by that player.  As with any battle involving multiple defending players, they must decide upon casualties among themselves, and if they can’t decide the attacker chooses.

Also, such air units may only be scrambled if that ally is at war with the attacker.

I see, thank you so much! :-)

Officially, it’s only for Global.  However, there’s nothing to stop you from using it in Europe.

Quick Alpha +3 rule question. Does the US still have the 30 IPC bonus during wartime? (for just europe, and for global) thanks!

Krieghund has answered this question for me already (I’m in the same situation).  Basically, there is no definite answer yet because they haven’t finalized the rules for global.  Once they do, they can narrow it down for pacific and europe only maps.

What I have been doing is using Alpha 3 and giving the US only 20 IPCs more to balance it out a bit.  You’ll find that the US is way too strong with 30.

Thanks…20 IPCs sounds like a good “bid”, or inverse bid/penalty I guess  :lol:

I’ll have to try that. I’ll let you know!

It not a joke!

So in the manual it states that defending carriers planes are considered to be defending in the air.  It also states that units trapped on a damaged carrier cannot participate.  I was always under the assumption that when a sub attacks a loaded carrier that… 1) if it only scores one hit and damages carrier then the planes are trapped until it can get back to a friendly naval base 2) If it scores two hits then carrier and all cargo are lost since they don’t participate in battle against subs w/o a destroyer present.  If this is not the case then it seems to me that there is no way for cargo to get trapped on a carrier?

Thank you very much Krieghund

invading turkey seems useless and dumb. why let the allies put all those extra men on the board, and what real advantage do you get from occupying turkey??? it makes no sense

The Axis take Turkey so they can move land units from Europe to Africa without using Russia to open a second front to attack the Brits in Cairo and Africa so that the Italians can become a threat the Germans send reinforcements especially with a major in romania.

Thats if your playing by the book I play by IL’s neutral rules where the true neutrals are split into blocks so that me invading turkey doesn’t give the US South America

If you want to move land units from Europe to Africa USE TRANSPORTS which are less expensive than taking Turkey and giving the US South America, UK Mozambique, Algeria, Afghanistan, Spain, and Portugal, and Russia Mongolia

The allies still get Spain, Portugal, Sweden, and Mongolia

France shouldn’t be allowed to do anything. That would be realistic.
