Airbases & navy bases?

Thanks Krieg, but you didn’t answer the question concerning if air/naval bases can be built

Yes, they can.

Awesome! So far I havnt heard and specific rules regarding them so I am assuming you can plop down an airfeild where ever you want? So let me get this straight. Now we have specific production facilities?  Meaning I can ONLY build a bomber or fighter where theres an airfeild and I can ONLY build a battleship or sub where there is a port?

@Krieghund:

Yes, they can.

Are there going to be game pieces for air/naval bases like their are for factories?

Everything is still built at ICs (except Chinese units).  You can’t build units at bases.

Yes.

Thank you Krieghund,

So whats the point of an airfield then? what does it do? I know that ports are where you repair and launch ships

If I may - I believe that the Airfield referred to is the actual Airbase unit? It allows Fighters stationed there to defend in up to 1 adjacent territory/sea zone? Just a guess…

Only if the territory is an island (completely surrounded by a single sea zone).  They also allow air units taking off from them to move one extra space.

Thanks Krieghund.  :-)

So, am I right in thinking that Fighters, Bombers and Tac-Bombers benefit from the +1 movement if the Airbase is built on either a land territory or island? I take it that works during both CM and NCM…

And, I trust that only Fighters can defend in the adjacent sea zone surrounding the island that the Airbase is built on?

Many thanks.

Tactical bombers can also, but strategic bombers cannot.

Krieghund, thank you again.  :-)

As an aside, have regular bombers now been officially designated as 'Strategic Bombers’? Or are they still just ‘Bombers’?

Yes, due to the introduction of tactical bombers, what we used to call “bombers” will now be called “strategic bombers”.

When it comes to naval bases/ ports how will these be handled when it comes to takeover. Does one simply control the seazone that its in or do you have to launch an amphibious assault on the adjacent territory in order to capture it?

The naval base is part of the territory.  If you control the territory, you control the base.

:lol: well alright man thanks for all your help, but do you happen to know what the cost of a stratigic bomber will be along with its attack and defense?

Opps I’ve seem to have answered my own question. Tac-Bombers will have an IPC cost of 11, attack 3 and defense of 3. With a movement of 4. Correct me if I am wrong but when combined with armor units’ attack increses to 4.

Thanks Krieg +1

You’re not wrong.  They also get this bonus when paired with a fighter.

Krieg could you clarify what stat bombers will be able to do.
I would think they will SBR as always (with escorts).
I would think they will be allowed to attack ground units.
Will they be able to attack sea units.
