Well, yeah, that works too, I suppose…kinda long to write on the back of my hand, though.
well, to write on the back of your hand -
Planes are ALWAYS in the air (unless they’re friendly cargo).
If you work in concepts of “take off” and “landing” you just get confusion about how the aircraft are defending (ineffectually) with a carrier in a battle against a just subs. How would they know to take off?
Simply: They were already in the air. They’re always in the air. Unless they’re friendly cargo.
Or best, just ignore the concepts of “take off”, “landing”, “in the air” and think:
If you can move any unit (if it’s not yours, you can’t move it: it’s cargo), it moves independently and uses its own movement points.
