New Gamer Question on Nation Objectives

@Gravy:

Also, I’m attacking your lone sub with 2 of my own subs.  Do we all get a “first strike” ability since there are no destroyers involved.

Yes.

@Gravy:

I know you need a destroyer in order for planes to attack them but you don’t need a destroyer for lets say your battleship to attack an enemy sub do you?

No.

Other than the UK/ANZAC ability to take control of them peacefully, they are treated as territories whose capital is in enemy hands.  Whoever captures them from Japan will have control of them.

No.  Scrambling occurs during the Conduct Combat phase, so all combat movements will have been completed.  Scrambling only occurs in sea zones in which attacking units end their combat movement.

Ok, that makes sense.  Sorry for the dumb question. :-P

the answer is yes cause korea it’s in the same zone as japan… and japan it’s an island with an air base that’ why you can scramble your fighters

:)

and hi all i’m new :)

you can do like the rest of us and pay $90 for the alpha copy they shipped with the game :)

No.

@Gravy:

Okay, don’t have the rules in front of me so I  have another question.  US attacks a Jap  fleet with only subs.  Since the Jap fleet has a destroyer and the US doesn’t, do the Japanese subs in her fleet get a first strike attack and at what die roll. Totally confused with this rule.

My reading of the rules is that yes, the Japanese subs get first strike as the US doesn’t not have ASW provided by a destroyer.  Subs roll at a 1 for defense.  Roll for your sub stack, US removes hits (rolls of 1) from the board immediately.  Then US can roll for his remaining subs at 2 (for attack).
