New builf Fighters on Carriers?

@xzorn:

Who bombs a territory that they intend to capture?

Since the invention of bombs, I would say just about everyone.

Play the game over at gleemax. Its free and you wont have to figure out too much because the program does everything for you except buy, move and place new units.

I would agree, while I don’t see anything that says exactly that in the AAE rules, it appears pretty clear that that is the case with the SBR rule 5 that says that defending fighters used in SBR defense cannot also be used in defense of a land attack against the same territory.

**"Strategic Bombing

As a defender against a strategic bombing run, can you move planes in from surrounding spaces to defend, or is it only planes already in the space with the industrial complex that can be used for defense?
Just the ones already there."**

aircraft carriers seem to be somewhat useful.  as FW190F said, they are good at defense.  if u look at the math, you gain 3-3-4 at 38 IPC when playing basic AA.  Also, carriers make decent assault platforms for attacking aircraft.  if youre really into navy stuff in your game, theyre probably useful in combination with subs and destroyers and battleships.  personally i never got around to it since my basic naval strategy is depending on my available cash and opposing air power, either go for a ton of battleships or build submarines and get the supersub tech advance.  personally i think AC are a waste of time, and a better use for your airpower is to go with the longrange aircraft and heavy bombing tech advances and bring down death from the skies simply by hopping between friendly land territories and blowing up land, air and sea unit all the way around.  whatever thats my 2 cents.

Ah, yes: the famous “fog of war” in its manifestation on the diceboard!

Just to add: The rolls of “1” and “2” become important only when the fighter are commited to escort or fight against a strategic bombing run.

Any other ideas other than this?

turn 0 - use 8 ipcs to buy a transport and but with other transport in mediteranian.

turn 1 - buy 2 bombers and another transport. load up transports in mediteranian with 2 troops 2 artilery. move full fleet to the gilbrata stright take out gb destroyer. uplace 1 troop on gilbratar straight. use subs in atlantic to take out all british fleet. load up that transport with 1 artilery 1 troop. move it with the largest remainer of german subs. place bomber in northern italy with rest of fighters. leave everthing alone in africa. move most troops in europe to defend from russia. if gb has no transports left leave troops along northern coast alone but be sure to leave troops to defend the mediteranian anywhere the british transport can land troops. place new bombers in north italy transport in tyriana sea.

turn 2 - buy 3 fighters save rest. now move subs to intercept all things being shiped for g.b. and or russia. reload troop in gibratar onto transport and move them into the azores sea. have other transport meet it there. use fighters and bombers in northen italy to destroy the british boats. if bombers can reach gibratar afterwards just use fighters. if u can move them there too. if so put them there to "claim the are to defend from amerikan reinforcements. place new fighters in northern italy.

turn 3 - just buy troops to reinforce the eastern front with as much mone possible. move all fleet to the us coast use subs to take the hits along with bb ship. don’t use transports destoyers or use the bb ships last hit. use bb ships and destroyers to bombard us coast. use the bombers in gilbratar too. land the troops and artilery.

if anyone has any ideas on how to improve leave a message
