Question about Battleship's Special Abilities

The supplies must be on the island on which you’re building the airfield.

Also, in a close game, a sub hit can give you the point you need to win.  If the American player plays his first properly, I see this as the most tenuous A&A game ever made.  Both sides can win and one bad move could change everything.  One other interesting aspect of the game is that both sides roll several dice in a typical engagement.  This keeps large swings due to dice luck from happening with any frequency just because the statistics are more reliable with lots of dice in play.

Thanks Krieghund!

Japanese Advantage Tokens

Night Fighting- If there are more than one unit in a sea zone that is hit on a roll of 2 thus destroying it does the Axis player decide which unit is destroyed?

Yes.

@geezadude999:

Quick Drop- Decide 1 sea zone & drop units onto an adjacent Island Zone. Can Axis drop onto any Island Zones adjacent to the sea zone or just 1 island?

Just one.

Allies Advantage Tokens

Command Decision- “Use at the beginning of a combat phase before any attacks are made” Does this token have to be played before any combat takes place ie; at the Attack air units sequence or can it be played during the combat phase ie; When you reach the Attack land units sequence?

It must be played before any combat takes place anywhere.

@geezadude999:

Good Logistics- If i buy an artillery or supply do i get a second free for every single one bought or just the first artillery & supply? eg; 6 supply bought-6 free & 4 artillery bought- 4 free OR 6 supply bought-7 in total & 4 artillery bought-5 in total?

You get a free one for each one purchased.

@geezadude999:

PT Boats- This token stays in play until hit. If i move all sea units out of the zone without the PT boat being destroyed during combat does it move with the sea units or stay in that sea zone on its own?

Per the FAQ, PT boats move during the Load and Move Destroyers step of the Movement Sequence.

@geezadude999:

Coast Watchers- Does this token apply to air & land units or only sea units? (so far i’ve used it for fighters when i’m 1st player during a turn to see where my opponent places his fighters)

It may be used for any unit type.

That is correct.

@gebs99:

Thanks for the answer, i have one more questions which regards the use of submarines. Do destroyers need to be present for other units (planes, ships, artilley) to attack subs? acording to my understanding of the rules subs can attack y their move phase but remain in that sea zone sorrounded by the enemy fleet and can be attacked by all that fleet meaning it will likely be destroyed. This is why sometimes i am reluctant to use my subs. COuld some one clarify this for me please. Thanks.

:cry: I’m going to change my signature to read “Forget the other A&A games you’ve played when you play Battle of The Bulge and Guadalcanal. Don’t bring anything from the other games or you will become confused.” :lol:  :wink:

Destroyers are not required in order to attack subs.

Subs are naval units and subject to attack during the attack naval units combat step when in the same sea zone as enemy units.

Your sub shots at a single vessel amongst a big enemy fleet are quite likely to result in the destruction of your sub in the subsequent naval attack step. Subs, fighters and destroyers don’t have a long life expectancy.

You use a movement point every time you cross a border between two zones, whether they be sea or island zones.  When you leave an island, you cross the border into the sea zone and use one movement point.  When you enter an island, you cross the border from the sea zone and use one movement point.  When you move from one sea zone to another, you use one movement point.  Conversely, if you don’t cross a border between zones, you don’t use a movement point.

Does this help?

@Commander:

I have played the game now and the instructions are not clear on one thing.

Do you only pay supply to move ships from the cards during deployment or do you also pay during movement as well?  I noted the instructions show you only pay during deployment…
Commander Hara

If you want to move ships or planes from the island card during the deployment phase you must use a supply or more depending on where on the board you want to go.

All other movement does not cost a supply.
