R1…Moscow fighter to Egypt

It’s not allowed.

BTW, that submarine does not become useless once the Germans lose the ability to win against the Allied navy/navies.

I like to send it to Southern Africa to ‘persuade’ Japan not to make a Brazil run, at least, force Japan to commit more to a Brazil run then what is normal and optimal.  It also keeps Japan honest by not leaving transports out there undefended.

And, finally, I’ve had a situation where Japan FORGOT the Russian submarine was down there by Madagascar and been able to attack his battleship and 3 transports with 3 fighters and a submarine. Odds are, he only gets one hit, you get 2, that’s a good trade!  Japanese transport which is useful for Russian submarine which is not so useful. (I actually got 3 hits to his 1 that time, but I was lucky.)

Krieghund- Your sooooo smooth!!! :-D :-D

Get a room!  :wink:

Seriously, though, Kreighund is gettin it on with those answers.

@Jennifer:

No, but I can force you to choose between not attacking at all and negating your entire airforce as an offensive weapon against my navy, or trading to my benefit.  And I don’t even have to invest a lot into offensively useless units.  16 IPC is about all I need to get a Carrier, the rest I need anyway.  Meanwhile, you now have 6 fighters, 1 bomber vs 2 fighters, 1 AC, 1 Surface Ship from Game Start and multiple transports.

Sure, I’ll lose some transports, but I’ll take out your airforce.  Or, you let me land uncontested. :P

And that, in a nutshell, is what I mean when I say that navy is better against airforce then airforce is against navy.

AMEN!

tell it like it is brudda!

(shrugs) it’s all about the game!  don’t hate the playa!

It goes along with teh special mid-battle retreat that FIGs can do, and also the fact that they can NOT remain in a combat zone after a batle (except by landign on an AC after a naval battle).

You HAVE to be able to MOVE in NCM to land in every type of battle EXCEPT a Naval Battle, and then you can ONLY stay there if you WIN.

DST and AC.

Well I realize you don’t just use fighters alone, you use them in conjunction with inf as powerful back up. :wink:

that is only useful in the german front exspansion or japan expansion … (not a real rule pro on the expansion games) but i think it works like this…

scrambling planes is a way for the defender, if they didn’t use thier planes during the combat phase, to try and defend thier industrial complex against Bombing raids… its a one round combat as i remember first the AA shots… then all the defending fighters roll at a 2 or less and all the attacking fighters roll at a one then the combat is over remove the casualties and proceed with the bombing… ahh still doesn’t apply to reviesd A&A unless you play with house rules and throw that one in cause … (can’t really think of a reason to use it)

Anyway, they might be usefull if your playing with the Out of the box rules and your germany and you get the national advantage that allows you to Industrialy bomb your enemy with your fighters… then it kinda applys to why you would send your fighters on bombing raids… (sometimes when things are going bad I acctually think its a good idea, and proceed to hurt my opponents fist with my head.) but even if you get that National Advantage, never use it cause it cost you more in the long run that it will ever cost your opponent…
