Hidden Submarine Movement

Got it, thanx so much  :-D

Also, in a close game, a sub hit can give you the point you need to win.  If the American player plays his first properly, I see this as the most tenuous A&A game ever made.  Both sides can win and one bad move could change everything.  One other interesting aspect of the game is that both sides roll several dice in a typical engagement.  This keeps large swings due to dice luck from happening with any frequency just because the statistics are more reliable with lots of dice in play.

@Giggity:

Take it to the bank?  :?

Because it’s ‘money.’

US slang for “it’s good” or “valuable.”

@Krieghund:

@frimmel:

Giggity you’re new here so I’ll point out that if Krieg gives you a rules answer you can take it to the bank.

The same applies to Frimmel.

Wow. Thanks!

Thank you sir, for the quick response, and the clarification!

@Krieghund:

No, it’s not specifically in the rules.  It’s just implied by the fact that the damaged area is on the back side of the card, away from the main sea zone area.  This is more pronounced on the Japanese card than on the American one.  Do you think this needs to be added to the FAQ?  This is the first time it’s ever come up.

A specific update for this is probably not necessary but as part of a bigger FAQ update it probably wouldn’t hurt.

@Krieghund:

Just a point of clarification: planes are always “in the air” during combat phases in Guadalcanal, whether they move or not.  I assume you mean that it’s a good idea to move them off carriers or islands where there won’t be any fighting for potential movement flexibility later in the turn.

That is exactly what I mean.

And to be specific be sure to move new fighters off your base in combat movement so they’ll be able to land on carriers in the slot to replace losses or land at your forward airfields.

it acutally speeds things up because you are move all your ships at once and not waiting for your opponent to move one class, than another, than another…

@Commander:

I have played the game now and the instructions are not clear on one thing.

Do you only pay supply to move ships from the cards during deployment or do you also pay during movement as well?  I noted the instructions show you only pay during deployment…
Commander Hara

If you want to move ships or planes from the island card during the deployment phase you must use a supply or more depending on where on the board you want to go.

All other movement does not cost a supply.
