We encountered a situation I wasn’t really sure of how it should be handled.
The USA started with 2 fleets:
-SZ19 (Okinawa), consisting of loaded carriers + a loaded transports
-SZ26 (Hawaii), consisting of destroyers + loaded transports.
I wanted to unload my Okinawa transport in Manchuria from SZ19. This meant Japan could declare Kamikaze on any surface warships present in SZ19.
The Hawaiian transport was supposed to unload into Korea from SZ6. This meant the Japanese player could scramble from Japan, so I sent several fighters to SZ6 just in case. Note that Japan could not Kamikaze, because there weren’t any surface warships present.
So the question is: was there any way I could have moved my carriers to SZ6 without exposing them to Kamikazes?
If I let them stay in SZ19, they would have been susceptible to Kamikaze strikes during the amphibious assault on Manchuria. If I moved them to SZ6 during combat movement to escape combat, they could also be Kamikaze’d because of the amphibious assault on Korea.
Could I have moved them from SZ19 to SZ18 (1 step) during combat movement to escape combat; and move them again during non-combat from SZ18 to SZ6?
