@MEGAEINSTEIN:
At first i thought that the japanese player could interrupt other player combat or non combat move through the sea zones with the kamikase simbol to make the kamikase attack.
@calvinhobbesliker:
They are used during the combat move of an ally.
To clarify, Japan declares Kamikaze attacks AFTER an Allied combat move, but BEFRORE the Allied conduct combat starts.
This means that Kamikaze Attacks do not prevent Allied ships from moving during the Combat move phase.
It helps to looks at an example.
- Let’s say the Japan Kamikaze Attacks are activated like calvinhobbesliker explained.
- The US makes his combat moves.
- Combat move is now over; no changes can be made.
- Now Japan declares their Kamikaze Attacks (how many, which seazones, & which enemy surface warship (not subs or transports). Note the Japan cannot roll 1 Kamikaze, and then see if it hits and then declares another.
- Japan rolls dice for Kamikaze Attacks.
- Remove casualties.
- Allied starts Conduct combat.
Also note that Scrambling aircraft MOVEMENT is the same (attacker make combat moves, combat moves are done, over, finished, can’t be changed. Defender may scramble fighter & tacs. Attacker conducts combat with the Strategic bombings raids first, then the Amphibious assaults second (where the scrambled aircraft come in to defend the seazone)), with General Combat third.
