British bombing of Berlin

@Gunngrinner

Hi Gungrinner

What a bummer. At least the Germans won’t be able to buy anything next turn either :)

Welcome to the site :)

Instead of escort @1 and interceptors @2 is now in BM escorts @2 and interceptors @2 ?
Then I agree with that. Promotes more bombing

@cornwallis said in Can Tac Bombers Escort a Bombing Raid, but choose not to bomb?:

@panther but what if you send them in to bomb an air or Naval base, then they do participate in the dog fight?

Yes.

@Kreuzfeld:

@simon33:

I wish there was a defender decision phase between combat move and conduct combat to clarify these things. Declare kami, scramble and intercept are all effectively done before any dice are rolled.

There is.
Scramble happens at the end of movementphase (as the last thing)
Kami assignment happens as the first ting in combatphase, and are resolved before any combat begins
then you do bombing raids
then you do all your amphibous assault combats
then you do general combat.

RulebookE page 16 says

Scrambling is a special movement that the defender can
make at the end of this phase. It must be done after all of
the attacker�s combat movements have been completed

RulebookP Page 16

Japanese
player can announce at the beginning of this phase that he or
she intends to launch one or more kamikaze strikes in that sea
zone. They are resolved before any combat begins.

It isn’t as obvious as what I would like. That’s all I’m saying. You have to dig into the nuances of the rules to understand how everything works.

Well atleast the reds tried to escape.

@Pelanderfunk:

If sealion is successful, you can bomb the crap out of Gibralter, and nobody can repair it until london is liberated.

If the US lands in Gibraltar after London falls it counts Gibraltar as it’s own until London’s retaken.  So the US repairs it instead.

Not unless an axis power captured it first

Whoops, good point.  So used to Italy grabbing it.

@GrizzlyMan:

If there had to be a historical mistake on the AAE game, I think leaving out the Aden naval base would be the one i’d choose (along with making Sierra Leone neutral… it doesn’t affect the game at all)

The one I’d choose is have the RN able to survive G1

You are right.
