Aircraft range question

Thanks gentlemen, looks I need to read the rules closer!

Hi guys

Im pretty new to the scene and had thoughts of trying it out but need advice. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

The sea zone is hostile.  The transport must leave the sea zone in combat movement, unless other US units attack the destroyers.  In any case, no units may be loaded there.

The fighters can scramble.  However, since there is no defending destroyer, they can’t hit the sub.  As a result, the transport will be sunk anyway.

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

On a side note, I wish tactical bombers were able to bomb air/naval bases (not factories).  According to my grandpa’s carrier’s war journal, they did a lot of airfield attacks, so it would only make sense to have that ability, and it would better justify the 11 IPC cost, since some people think that is too much.

Uh-huh.

Yes playing by myself is a real bummer, trying to find people in my area “Nashville”.  Good new is my son and my son-in-law both will be moving here some time this year.  Until then I have no choice but to play myself.  The good news is I win every time.  The bad is news is I loose just as many……
