Japan: All air to hold off USA/ANZAC, Navy and Land forces to get UK

@tank-buster said in Can aircraft make noncombat move thru friendly neutral if land units move into it on the same turn?:

I thought that might be the case but since aircraft could fly over an unfriendly neutral if they attacked it

Depending on what you mean this is or is not correct. When you say “fly over” if you mean they can fly into the unfriendly territory during the Combat Movement phase and attack it in the Combat phase and then in the Non-combat phase fly out then that is correct. If you mean some units attack an unfriendly neutral and other air units fly into and out of the unfriendly neutral during the Combat Movement phase to attack elsewhere that is not allowed if this is the first time the unfriendly neutral has been attacked.

Aircraft may only land on territories they owned at the beginning of their Turn; this includes China’s fighter.

Pwned.

@katfishkris:

according to the erratta, phili should have a naval and air base, and new zealand should not have a industrial complex, and the IC in australia should be a minor one.

i did not know these things till i read them here, and it was tough to convince the guys i play with that this is how it was supposed to be, but after we started playing with these changes, it actually worked out well.

Ok, help me with this one fellows. What do you mean by ERRATTA?  I will have a tough time convincing my brother this is true, as our rules do not say that, and are there other things that this ERRATA has that are different from the rules that came with the game?

You can direct them here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=ah/prod/pacific      This is the game company website and has a link to read the FAQ. The FAQ is where the errata is located.

@marechallannes:

…for a strategy you never tried? :?

Maybe you take Sydney, but without a factory in Japanese/Chinese-terretories you will loose the war.

Till turn 4 the UK-Player kills too much Jap ground forces and masses of Chinese infantry secures the terretories.

Your next target after sydney should be Hawaii and you need to reienforce Honkong.

Point taken regarding the never tried strategy.  :mrgreen:

The next target should be to secure the New Guinea/Solomon/Britain NO and the DEI, while holding on to Carolines. You really don’t need Hawaii since you’re already getting the NO from Sidney.

EDIT: Just remembered that J needs 6 cities to win the game. It that case, yes, reinforce Hong Kong and take Hawaii. The last one might be difficult though…

@Omega:

Say you are planning a huge battle, but only have, say 3 Aircraft carrier. Can you still launch more fighter? (over 6) or can you only launch IF there is, at the moment of the attack, a place to land? (So in our example, since we only have 6 landing spot, we can only launch 6 to attack)

Robert

I’m pretty sure: you can only launch as many planes as would potentially have a landing spot at the end of the noncombat move phase assuming all units survived combat.  Even an CV that is entering combat can be considered a potential landing space for any fighter.  If one or more CVs do not survive combat, and there are more FIGs/TACs than what can land, then some of the aircraft will die for lack of landing area.

Info is all here for a new battlestrip:
