Translation please!

Thank you, Panther!

@Rongor said in Is there a way to engage in air war only?:

I would like to air attack these enemy air units on that enemy island. Can I do this without the tanks sitting on that same island defending against my air with their 3 or less rolls?

It seems that bombing enemy ground forces is also quite risky. I am a bit surprised that any ground units defends against air attack with the same capability as it would against enemy ground forces…

Welcome to the forum. The concept of the game is that you attack in hostile seazones and/or in hostile territories. And when you attack there you attack everything. You can’t choose to attack only a part of the units present there (except bombing raids - here you choose to attack a facility).

So an “air only battle” is not part of the rules (except maybe the one round dogfight between bombers, escorts and interceptors in the special case of bombing raids).

I just finished my first play as Japan yesterday. And my 8 years old son who had no problems following the rules played all the Allies and defeated me.

Reading a lot how the game is supposed to be almost imbalanced, favoring Japan, it feels pretty odd to have lost as Japan against a kid.

So if any other new players read this, don’t feel sad if you lost with Japan!

Looking forward to getting better at this great game…

Thanks Panther that is what I thought.

@clamoxyl Welcome to the forum.

Have you looked at https://boardgamegeek.com/ ?
Good luck.

Thanks a ton. Yes, that is what I thought because under the opposing logic you couldnt build an ic in Scotland. I will now build one though and roll ANZAC!

Thanks,

@nimitz1:

Seems a little ludicrous but hey…this game seems to be full of little problems but it does put more strategic importance on wiping china out altogether as early as possible, if necessary at the expense of going after india. Thanks gents.  One more question if I could…if a kamikaze attack (or a number of them are made on a carrier with aircraft, if the carrier is sunk are the aircraft lost?

Not necessarily. Kamis can only be used on the allies’ turn, so the planes have their remaining movement to land

Whats the chances this is aldertag again with an new forum identity.

If so you have a mental problem.

Don’t say that about me. OPPS Wrong account :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
