Is it true that you are limited on unit stacks by how many plastic pieces you have?
So as an example you have 10 tank pieces so you are limited to 10 different tank stacks on the board. And by the rules if you run out of grey and red chips can you use something else?

Ok Krieghund I’m still a little unsure about this as you seem to say they can and several posts later they cant. During the game that sparked this question the Jap player bought 2 carriers to place off the coast of Japan. Now he had 5 pre existing planes on Japan that had not been in combat or moved at all. Now what conditions if any have to be met for him to at the end of his turn place his carriers and then move 4 of the planes onto them thereby leaving the American player on his turn facing in SZ 62 two fully loaded carriers instead of 2 empty ones. Also what was the rule on this in original AA and AA revised cause it seems different.

So basically you can fly 2 fighters out to the sea zone where the carrier will be placed
say from Japan to SZ 62 and at the end of the Japanese players turn during the mobilize
new units phase of his turn the fighters can land on the new carrier.

Is it possible to move existing fighters onto newly placed carriers.
As in the jap player moving two fighters from Japan onto a just bought carrier.
