Damaged Aircraft Carriers

@chris_henry said in Using Aircraft More Than Once in a Turn:

I’d think they get one defensive action, and it’s up to the defender which one it is they’d like to do.

Oh i agree, i just think its worded poorly. 9.17 just needs a “as per the interception process in table 9-9”

Tnx for answers and opinions.

@mark-the-shark Agreed!

@warwick This question appears to be answered in the FAQ … I just missed it the first time through.

@noneshallpass said in Are Heavy Carriers not very good?:

@gen-manstein I am not sure what rules you are discussing.

The battleboard has the same stats for Attack and Defense for Heavy Battleships and each hits reduces the values by 2 (rule 7.8) : undamaged (10), 1 damage (8) and 2 damage (6).

Like all capital ships, they can be repaired at dockyards or shipyards (rule 7.4 and tables on page 54-55).

Paying IPP for the repair of capital ships by rolling a D6 is only an optional rule (15.5).

Ok thanks. Way talk was thought there wasn’t a reduction.

@noneshallpass You are correct. A Strategic Bomber has no ability to attack a ship in any way, shape, or form in the game so it is obviously impossible to use them on MAP. MAP is a combat move and you can’t make a combat move if you have no ability to conduct combat.

Thanks for asking the question. We have added it to the FAQ.

Thank u sir

@Boardgame-Medic I’ll start by saying I am not fully versed in the V3 beta rules just yet. But, if it plays like V2 and, as you mention AA1940, your attack would not be possible in the way you mention. The aircraft themselves need to have the movement points to get there and then safely land somewhere. And of course, your planes can’t even reach SZ64 from SZ56.

I’m also pretty sure planes in SZ99 couldn’t reach either. I think that is also 5 movement points away. But again, I do not yet have the V3 map. I’m just looking at the version that can be viewed on HBG’s website. It’s quite possible the final product is a bit different, or I’m having a hard time seeing the movement!
