Can a Fighter attack a submarine thats stand alone??

Something I struggled with as well because I usually make a move then battle then move into another battle, so on……but yeah you cannot move through freshly conquered territory, you must stop at that territory for that turn.

Landing on an island from a sea zone requires movement of 1 space.  Landing on the coast from the sea zone adjacent is a move of 1.  Landing on a carrier in the same sea zone is a move of ZERO.

Also, you are NOT required to keep the AC alive during the battle until after the FIGs are dead.  You are required to have a place to land your FIGs at the START of battle.  If that landing zone gets sunk during the battle, the FIGs can fight on until the bitter end, and then they go “SPLASH!” into the ocean, unless they have enough movement left to get them to another LZ.

See my post in the Software Forum.  There is an updated patch.

@Linkon:

Taking any Allied islands should be considered a luxury move.  Do it after critical territories are secured.

Not quite.  The question of whether to attack Australia depends on what the Russians did in round 1.  IF Russia is making a strong Asian stand (ie: if the Russian fighter was sent on the Manchurian attack and/or if 2 or more Russian INF were sent east in round 1) then I would agree with you:  Pull all Japan forces back to Japan proper, assault Manchuria with so much overwhelming force that Russia is basically totally defeated in the east, then move toward Moscow as described elsewhere.

However, if Russia did not attack Manchuria at all, or if their attack forces were not at maximum strength, or if Russia sent all available forces west to defend Karelia, then you do not have to send EVERYTHING against Russia.  In fact, “wasting” both battleships sitting in home waters is counter-productive to Japan’s openning strength:  navy.

Remember, the US has to stage forward to attack Japan, or any navy around Japan.  That means that Western US navy has to move to Hawaii (or Midway, or Wake, or SOMEWHERE forward of California) one round before it can attack Japan’s home waters (and that transport fleet you started building in round 1).  Japan has more than enough initial air power to counter any Round 1 US attack, and then you simply re-start building that transport fleet and move the Australian navy back toward home waters.  And if the US does stage forward, then the TWO Japan fleets pincer it, destroy it, and then keep building their transports to attack Russia and threaten Midway, Hawaii, and Alaska.

…in the enlightened People’s Republic of (insert name here) we do not shoot people; that’s what the evil capitalist states do! We send our poor misguided bretheren to “Re-education Camps” so they can learn the folly of their ways…

That’s what I liked about the PRC. They recycled their detritis over and over and over. Sadly, I don’t think they do it any more. :cry:

Yeah, I would suggest taking Hawaii, Alaska, and maybe even WUSA (i’ve seen this happen). Disruption tactics are a must when dealing with USA in order to help in a Germans. What you want to do is frighten the USA in at least keeping a garrison in their home country. This gives Germans more time to prepare for a possible WE invasion. If USA doesn’t fall for the bait, then congrats, you now have a steady source of income. :)
