Aleutian Islands

@1Bean432:

That territory is considered full-friendly after you captured it during your turn.

So now that its after your turn, its defiantly friendly to the point where you can land planes there.

tl:dr Yes

I think you meant to say “definitely”

@Sir_Cala:

Can the US park ships in Sea Zones 7 and 16 next to Sea Zone 6 that contains the Island of Japan?

Yes; those territories are not adjacent to a Japanese controlled territory. However, that leaves the US navy very vulnerable to a Japanese attack, especially fighters on carriers because they have nowhere to land if the carrier gets damaged.

@Funcioneta:

Siam is original Japanese (it has a japanese simbol). Manchuria should be as well because historically it was from 1931, but that’s not the case in our game

Yeah, but Manchuria is a Chinese place. Like the Soviets took it, but it’s not like okay this place is Japanese let’s keep it. They are just adding realism to the game. at least i think :|

Razor,

Nice try  :-D  I was thinking it was probably something they discovered in playtesting.  But I just can’t think of a reason to differentiate between islands and continents for this purpose.  I know, for instance, that the Italians had a pretty good navy.  Their surface ships were mostly well-designed and fast.  They did not, however, equip them with sufficient anti-aircraft capability.  They didn’t have any aircraft carriers of their own, which forced them to hug the coastlines whenever possible in order to stay within range of land-based air.  With the current rules, they could be protected by an airbase in, say, Sicily.  But if they were in the Adriatic they’d have no defensive air cover, even if they had airbases in both Yugoslavia and Italy.

There are only 2 islands that I feel are worth this treatment, Carolines and Pearl.  But, the key is to put a decent amount of men on them, 4-6, and the land planes with the airbase.  This makes it a nightmare to assault.

@Krieghund:

Yes, it is.

Wow, that was fast!

Thanks!

Just in time before I head off to work too. Leaving straight away after work for Dayton and another 18+ hour game fest (many beers will meet their end :evil: ) tonight and tomorrow to see if we can find a way to play the Allies better and keep Britian in the fight.

Thanks for helping me out.  :-)

Ok, thanx Krieghund…… I really wasn’t sure where I read it, it just confused me.  I understand now why one was mentioned without other.  Thanx again…
