Hits on Aircraft Carriers?

@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”

@Gragor:

Hey, Just wondering if you have a fighter on an AC and say you move that fighter to the adjacent sea zone. do you need to count one movement point to take off from the AC?

Aircraft movement is only counted when an aircraft crosses a map border:

Territory to Territory
Seazone to Seazone
Seazone to Territory
Seazone to Island

It’s one move to the adjacent seazone from a carrier seazone, but there is no movement point for “taking off”.  You may consider your planes as already/always in the air on your turn or an enemies turn (but not in the air on an allies turn - that’s when they’re cargo).

This rule was actually changed from the way it was in Revised in order to prevent air units from getting an extra movement.  In Revised, when a carrier was mobilized fighters were allowed to be moved from the territory containing the IC onto the carrier.  Under that rule, a fighter could move from New South Wales and attack Japanese-held Western Australia, then fly back to New South Wales in noncombat movement, then be moved onto a new carrier in sea zone 62 in the Mobilize New Units phase, resulting in five spaces of movement.

@calvinhobbesliker:

Yes, before 2 planes can land; after, 0 can land

Can planes on already stay on the carrier?

They have to stay. They can’t take off from a damaged carrier.

I still prefer the 1/3 carrier. But its not a major thing to me. I can live with 0/2 2hit carriers.

Whenever a carrier is attacked, its planes are assumed to be launched and defending in the air.  This is not optional.  If the carrier is hit, the planes can’t land on the carrier and must find another place to land within one space or be lost.

The only way that planes can be trapped on board a damaged carrier is if there are planes belonging to an ally on an attacking carrier.  Since it’s not their turn, the planes remain on the carrier as cargo rather than participate in the battle.  If the carrier is damaged during the attack, these “guest” planes will be trapped (unable to take off) until the carrier is repaired. If the carrier is attacked while still damaged, the planes will remain cargo.  They will be unable to launch and defend, and will be lost if the carrier is sunk.

The only time an aircraft is EVER going to get “trapped” on a carrier, is if you use a carrier on your own turn that has a multinational fighter on it and you have attacked with that carrier, and taken a hit on it.

So basically, this “can’t” happen to you, unless you go out of your way to make it happen, during an attack.  It may make sense to do this, is some certain bizare scenario’s.  But Don’t be worrying yourself about it.

Now that said, once the carrier is tipped, the aircraft trapped on it cannot be used at all, until that carrier is repaired.

The more real likely hood, is, that if you are not careful, you may, wish to take fgt’s as hits as oppossed to tip your carrier, in attacks or defense, so that your aircraft will have a friendly place to land, if the carrier is totally at sea, with no island or territories in or adjacent to the sea zone, and no other possible carriers in range, to pick up the aircraft.

@oztea:

yea he made the best game he could
im still going to enjoy it, and keep house rules to a minnimum

I can live happily with how carriers work now, im going to keep a fleet with them at all times, but im dissapointed they dont work the way I envisoned

Hey…we cant all get our way in larrys game…

…but we CAN get our own way with HOUSE RULES! And Oz, you make a lot of great ones. I plan to try your carrier rules too and see what my friends and I like better.
