Fighter attacks sea zone with no place to land...

@ampdrive said in Where to place US IC ?:

I’ve always assumed that UK and Anzac units,when NOT at war with Japan ,can go to FIC while it still is owned by France

I think that their units can go to FIC but they don’t receive the territory’s income

@wicked_caitiff:

…
Are planes allowed to attack alone and independently, …

Yes, as long as every plane has a valid landing spot.

Seems fairly evident in the rules…. thx K.

@calvinhobbesliker:

Wrong board

They can declare war on each other whenever they want; and there’s no war if they don’t

How is this the wrong one, it’s on the Pacific 40 board.

There needs to be a AAG40 board.

Because in P40, USSR doesn’t exist.

I agree, but for now europe includes global

For Japan:
SZ 6(obvious)
SZ 35(central location of Japanese Empire; can reach Queensland, Burma, Japan, and Carolines.
SZ 33(Easternmost base; threatens Hawaii and Sydney and protects japan
SZ 37( Can reach India and most of Australia from here)

Allies:
SZ 54(This is the NB where both ANZAC and the US threaten the DEI and the Phil from)
SZ 26(US, on the way to Z54, threatens SZ 6 and SZ 33)
SZ 63(Can still reach java, is further out of reach of Japan, and can be protected with scramble)

@MaherC:

come on TripleA!

It will take a while (if ever) before there’s a playable version of Pacific because of all the rule changes. But let us hope a little longer…

Buying a major IC by J3 is risky (like everything else) because you need to spend at least 30 IPCs for turn to fully use it otherwise J is wasting production capacity. And Japan needs destroyers, destroyers and destroyers to take hits and deal with subs.

The only time an aircraft is EVER going to get “trapped” on a carrier, is if you use a carrier on your own turn that has a multinational fighter on it and you have attacked with that carrier, and taken a hit on it.

So basically, this “can’t” happen to you, unless you go out of your way to make it happen, during an attack.  It may make sense to do this, is some certain bizare scenario’s.  But Don’t be worrying yourself about it.

Now that said, once the carrier is tipped, the aircraft trapped on it cannot be used at all, until that carrier is repaired.

The more real likely hood, is, that if you are not careful, you may, wish to take fgt’s as hits as oppossed to tip your carrier, in attacks or defense, so that your aircraft will have a friendly place to land, if the carrier is totally at sea, with no island or territories in or adjacent to the sea zone, and no other possible carriers in range, to pick up the aircraft.

That’s the reason why I try not to pre-order but wait until the shops get it.  By the time you add in shipping to the discounted pre-order prices, it usually costs more than MSRP.  Damn shipping.  To make it worth my while, I would need to pre-order like 10 to go below MSRP.

Also coolstuffinc.com doesn’t offer free shipping to Hawaii or Alaska!

Ebay sometimes is cheaper even with shipping costs, but you need to hunt for the bargains.
