No land units for either side on island and ships cannot exert their attackpower

@Krieghund Thank you

You’re welcome.

We did have this question before and it has the info about knocking out airfields.

As long as there are units from both sides there is combat in the appropriate phase or phases.

No.  They only fire in the sea zone.

Check pages 4 and 5 of the rulebook.

@mockneywideboy:

Unless I’m misunderstanding the rules, it is impossible for your adversary to win provided you don’t build capital ships.

Victory requires 15 victory points. You get one per airfield and one per enemy capital ship sunk. There are only 9 airfields and each player begins with only 3 capital ships. Therefore, provided you don’t build more than two capital ships, you can’t lose!

By the same logic, you couldn’t win either!  :mrgreen:

Better it’s not that way…

I have many of those. They are a rip off. Better to buy skytrex because its cheaper and the smokestacks don’t break off from those cheap plastic things from Panzerschiffe. Plus he does not make all the different types of ships so your resorting to buying both metal and plastic anyway to make a complete set…so you might as well save the waste and stick with metals.

I like the fact that both units can be on an island and not have to keep battling until someone owns it.

It tooks days to take Iwo Jima.
