Sea Units moving out of contested zones

Thanx, was a little fuzzy in the rules on that one, but clear as a bell now :-D

Ok, so an empty (US) island on which the japanese land a single AA gun without backing it up with bombardment remains in US hands? Damn, then I missed out on one more INF on my last turn assault…

Not during the regular movement phase.

If you want to during the reinforcement phase you have to pay supplies at your base depending on which sector on your side of the board (shown on the gameboard) you want to place the ships. This is called Rapid Deploy.

Supplies are for – building airfields, repairing airfields, repairing ships in the damage area of your base and for rapid deployment.

:-D Thanks. I guess I’m getting the hang of this game!

additional note.  Here’s an example to print out.  This helped me alot.

Example: I have 2 destroyers and a cruiser in the space, and you are rolling 6 dice.

Slot         1         2         3         4                   5             6
Type  Destroyer Cruiser Battleship Aircraft Carrier Transport Submarine
Result Hit Roll  1    Hit Roll 2    Miss Roll 5 Miss Roll 3         Hit Roll 1 Hit Roll 2

* The first hit destroys a Destroyer because it’s a hit with a result of 1.
    * The second hit will damage the cruiser because it’s a hit with a roll of 2.
    * The next two shots miss.
    * The hit of 1 on the transport will go back to the start of the line and destroy another destroyer, since I have no transports in the space.
    * The hit of 2 on the sub will also go back to the start of the line, but there are no more destroyers left to kill (both have already been counted as destroyed from the 1’s). This will put a second damage on the Cruiser, destroying it.

Obviously destroyers, fighters, and infantry are “cannon fodder”.  The only way to get a sure hit is to get one on that spot of the ship such as a “Roll of 1” in the 5 location if there was an aircraft carrier.  During the war, there were no countermeasures for ships, smaller ones including PT boats would get in the way of the torpedo instead of the larger ship and take the hit.

I thought there might have been a kamikaze in this one, but Japan didn’t start doing that until later in the war.  Your choice for another house rule Token, but balance it out with something on the allied side.

@sanya33:

i just bought AAG and i played it for the first time last night.

3 questions about the rules:

1. when it says ‘move battleships, destroyers etc’ can they move if they are in a combat situation? so move them out of combat?

Yes you may. Your units are not locked in combat. They are free to move or load during the appropriate segments.

2. it’s my turn and i play 2nd. during a land attack  i lose an artillery. can i use this lost artillery to attack back during my round? (like most AA games)

My understanding is that casualties are not removed till the end of the phase except in the case of subs. Units get a chance to shoot back.

3. in order to damage my enemy’s airfield do i have to destroy all of his land pieces first??

thanks, sanya  :roll:

Nope. You just need two hits from bombers or ships.

Me too.  We were using one supply token for every ship sent and only sending them during the resupply phase.  We were spending huge amounts of money getting ships onto the board.  No wonder our game was dragging on way past turn five.
