Air vs Navy Question

This is how Krieghund feels when you don’t say that to him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPquarz16wQ

I asked this on the A&A revised forum, but was reminded that that version doesn’t quite work the same way as A&AE works, so hopefully someone here can help me understand this better.

I was always under the impression that, as the defending player, your fighters take no part in a SBR unless the attacker sends his fighters as escorts for his bombers. If that is so, what is the attacker’s incentive to send his fighters along in the first place? It would seem to me that doing so would only serve to put his bombers at risk. We’ve played under this impression since Europe first came out….are we totally missing something?  :?

Rob.

You have to hold it for one turn. However, an ally could land a fighter there on their following turn. Not that Germany has an ally, but it may apply to the Allies.

Yes transports can load during combat movement and drop off. Assuming that they have the movements available.

Fighters/Bombers cannot attack Subs unless a Destroyer is present. Subs cannot attack air units. Besides that, normal battle.

@jd_salens:

can the sub submerge immediately after hitting, without the chance of the battleship fighting back?

No, it has to suffer a shot from the battleship. If it survives, it can submerge, but why would you?

see pg 21 of the rule book:
“AA guns in a captured territory may not be moved in the same turn that the territory is captured”
