Industrial complex question

@RYNO87 said in Fighter and aircraft carrier questions:

If a fighter in EASTERN US wants to land on a carrier in SZ13, is that 2 moves or 3 bc you count the landing?

You don’t count the landing.
Rulebook 1941, page 23: “In other words, each time an air unit crosses a boundary between spaces, whether territories or sea zones, it uses 1 movement point.”
So your scenario takes two movement points.

Also, can you place a new fighter on a carrier adjacent to a industrial complex or does it have to start at the IC.

Rulebook 1941, page 20: “Place fighters either in territories containing eligible industrial complexes, or on your aircraft carriers in sea zones (even hostile ones) adjacent to such territories. You can even place new fighters on an aircraft carrier currently being mobilized. However, you cannot place a new fighter on a carrier owned by a friendly power.”

I have moved your topic to the 1941 forum.

Thank you for the quick info on this. I thought you could, but i just wanted to make sure.

Thanks all! Wow that was very helpful.  Made a lot of sense.  We’ll be playing this weekend.

Correct:

@rulebook:

A fighter based on a defending carrier must land on the same carrier if possible after the battle. If that carrier is destroyed in
combat, the fighter must try to land elsewhere. It must land on a different friendly carrier in the same sea zone, move 1 space
to a friendly territory, island, or aircraft carrier, or be destroyed. This movement occurs during the Noncombat Move phase,
before the acting player makes any noncombat moves. Carrier-based fighters are always considered to be defending in the air,
even if only submarines are attacking.

@Private:

In that case, Herr Hauptsturmfuhrer, I would be honoured to serve as your Rottenfuhrer.

Great, that resolves a long disputed aspect with my gaming group. Thanks for the prompt and helpful reply.

I think it’s a fun game, especially if you want something relatively quick and simple. While I love Global, occasionally it is nice to play something that is so simple. I think it is more fun as the attacker because you simply don’t have to worry about SBRs or shore bombardment. Also, no AA fire to threaten your planes.
I think it is easier for the Axis to win. I have played a handful of games and only once so far did the Allies win, although I have not tried the new changes in setup yet. Also, I might have been just lucky so far (I usually play Axis). I have noticed if certain battles don’t go right for the Axis, the Allies could gain the upper hand.
Basically, it’s good if you just got a couple of hours or so to kill and you don’t want to leave the game set up.

If the enemy sub doesn’t choose to submerge first, both ships can attack it.  Only air units require a destroyer to allow them to attack subs.
