Do you scramble in SZ33?  Also, I have no destroyers, so you can either submerge or fight with your subs.  Only my cruiser and 2 BBs can hit your subs.    So submerge now and counter-attack with 2 subs + 3 subs later, or use them as extra hits now to try and inflict more damage.  As I can’t land my fighters on damaged carriers, it’s a balancing act for me on casualties taken.

hmmm, don’t forget only THREE planes can scramble, so you only get three fighters out of your six + tac.

Wow, you rolled phenomenally.  Stinks that your transports survived, that would have been juicy. :cry:

Yeah, they changed the scramble rule for the 2nd edition.  So if you have a first edition board game, the rulebook is out of date.  It was changed mostly because Japan starts out with SOO many planes, they could leave them in Japan or anywhere and prevent the US from amphibing anything.  3 is still useful, but not as game-changing as the ability to scramble 15 planes as Japan can do from the beginning.
