A question about fighters on carriers.

@Rescue55-joe I believe the “10 IPCs for each country” that you are referring to are actually the National Control Markers, which are used to track both conquered territories and national production levels. As barnee pointed out, IPCs are not physically provided, and the Rulebook instructs us to track them on paper, but any proxy (such as Monopoly money) will do. See page 7 of the Rulebook for details on both National Control Markers and IPCs.

In a nutshell, the National Production Track is used to chart your “income” using a National Control Marker. and every turn the “money” goes into your “bank account”, which is represented by IPCs, where it can be spent on new units (or saved for later).

I hope this helps.

@superbattleshipyamato123 Try reading the FAQ for more about how to properly play '41. There’s more to it than infantry in China and more money for the US.

@RYNO87 Indeed, the fighters move independently from the carrier. All combat movement happens simultaneously. So while the fighters fly the carrier moves. So you have described it correctly.

Thinking of the sculpted, why do most of them (Italy is exclude) have a number from 1 to 20 for the infantry?

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.

@tsaa:

1:can a battle ship bombard landtroops?

No, offshore bombardment is not part of the 1941 ruleset.

@tsaa:

2:can ships pass between ireland & nothern island? it seems to be a small passage there…

Yes, the seazones 6 and 8 are adjacent.

@tsaa:

3 how do you know where it is allowed to out ships you build? For Russia, can they only put their ships in the north? Germany- can they put new built ships in the meditaranian?

Ships can be placed only in seazones adjacent to territories containing an eligible Industrial Complex. At the beginning of the game Germany for example can place ships only in SZ 6. Russia has no adjacent seazone. SZ 18 next to Caucasus is pointless because you can’t move ships out there.

@tsaa:

4: in sea battle, is it correct the transports only can be destroyed when there is nothing else to “put behind the casualty zone” in other words transport will always be killed last?

Correct. Transports can be chosen as casualties only if there are no other eligible units.

@tsaa:

6: is a destroyer needed to attack a sub only when there is a plane attacking? or can any naval unit attack a sub without the presence of a destroyer?

Planes can hit submarines only when there is a destroyer belonging to the same nation as the plane joining the attack.
Naval units with an attack value don’t need a supporting destroyer.

@tsaa:

7: does subs attack with surprise attack in every round?? I thought it was only before the battle in other words only 1 time…

The surprise strike takes place in every round of combat.

@tsaa:

8: in south amierca, can all ships pass through the canal or only the side that controls the country (is it mexico?)

The side that controls Central America (from the beginning of the turn) may pass through the canal.

HTH :-)

Great! Thank a lot

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.
