Aircraft carrier and 2 fighters?

I doubt it, since the game is out of print.

Honestly, I like unification of the British Fleet in SZ 30 with 1 Infantry from India.  This makes it financially worse for Japan to attack than for England to be wiped out, strategically worse for Japan to attack (since they’ll lose their air force and have to leave Pearl unattacked maybe even not take China’s fighter out) than for England to be wiped out (all those ships are generally dead by UK 2 anyway, so what have you lost?)  BUT

it really tempts Japan to try!  Furthermore, form here, you can hit E. Indies with 4 Infantry, Fighter if Japan leaves you alone, or you can hit Egypt or you can just dump the infantry in S. Africa to bolster the defenses there.

Furthermore, if you build an IC in S. Africa (which negates the risk of losing Africa and thus your paycheck and allows you to stay in the upper twenties, lower 30s) you can be a relatively annoying pain in the butt. (Once Africa is secure, you can always dump a submarine or two in S. Africa making SZ 34 a threatened zone if you want too.  Or at least pose the risk of doing so if you don’t want too.)

That said:

if I had to attack the japanese iwth England, I’d go Destroyer/Carrier to SZ 59; Fighter, Submarine to SZ 45 and land the fighter in SZ 52.  I’ve seen quite a number of Japanese attacks on SZ 52 go south because of that extra fighter.

ugh……tolerance camp.

some people are just intolerant of others wishing to not tolerate something they perceive as wrong or bad.

PC is mind slavery.  “NO! you cant think or say that!”  “Punish them!”

even though i agree nazi’s were just a sect of germans.  not all of them.

@Jennifer:

No, but I can force you to choose between not attacking at all and negating your entire airforce as an offensive weapon against my navy, or trading to my benefit.  And I don’t even have to invest a lot into offensively useless units.  16 IPC is about all I need to get a Carrier, the rest I need anyway.  Meanwhile, you now have 6 fighters, 1 bomber vs 2 fighters, 1 AC, 1 Surface Ship from Game Start and multiple transports.

Sure, I’ll lose some transports, but I’ll take out your airforce.  Or, you let me land uncontested. :P

And that, in a nutshell, is what I mean when I say that navy is better against airforce then airforce is against navy.

AMEN!

tell it like it is brudda!

(shrugs) it’s all about the game!  don’t hate the playa!

Yea, I was thinking of a Battleship/Aircraft Carrier R1 Build with Germany.  Maybe an 8 IPC bid for a second Transport in SZ 5.

As for invading England, really wasn’t thinking along those lines.  I was thinking of a fleet big enough to stop any Navy from building up by the allies so 100% of Germany can go for Russia leaving W. Europe and S. Europe and Africa mostly undefended.

Sea Zone 2: 1 Figher, 1 Bomber, 1 Submarine vs 1 Battleship, 1 Transport

1 Fighter from Finland/Norway 1 Bomber from Germany 1 Submarine Sea Zone 8

Any day, i would attack.

And i play at triple A where youo get 9 bid as axis and a second Sub in Sz8 is nice iand then i attack even when the sub is there. (in SZ2)

Perhaps not specifically as relates to canals, but there are cases where a naval battle could be between where an AC is, and where it HAS to go in non-combat to recover figs (perhaps the combat SZ itself).

Unless addressed in tournament rules, this is not addressed in Standard rules.  New thread perhaps if no one posts an answer here?

well what do you think if we kept the defender at a 4 defense.
