EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat
-
@trout I’m trying to get through japans turn but stumped at some rules-issues
I think I need to wipe out your Carriers so how does that work
In terms of order of loss?In the rules are a section about carriers being primary targets but all that is about when they are grouped with a BB
In this case they are all alone so how is this handled ?
Ideally your carriers would take hits first and they are two hit right ?
-
@johnnycat OOL depends on how many planes you are attacking with. Am at zoo with sweetie pie and two of my kids now but can respond if you tell me what you are attacking with
-
@johnnycat No battleships so the rule about carriers first doesn't apply. Here's the Order of Loss (OOL) for me.
- Carrier (two hits)
- Tac B then one fighter
- Next carrier
- Two more fighters
- Carrier (one hit)
- Two more fighters
- Last carrier
Reason for this is that I don't think you will kill them all on the 1st round. So I am avoiding a situation where I lose all my carriers and no planes because in that situation, you could retreat after the 1st round and then any remaining airplanes would just crash into the ocean since no carriers to land on. If this doesn't make sense to you, then you can do the combat in Edit Mode but you may not know how to do that.

@trout I totally get it. And that was my point. I wanted to find some way to easy kill them.
That’s the fascinating thing about this game; whether they make sense or not we need to know the rules. I’m still laughing at the UK magic carrier production so “go get em boys the pilots were told…”.
In fact, and I’m sure you’re aware of this, there are all sorts of ways to basically use kamakasi air planes by just knowing the rules
And I recall something about transports gets taken last but I’m assuming that the player can override all that with their own order of loss.
With each time I Play this game I can see how to better run the japs and even Anzac. Italy is still a riddle tho.
-
@johnnycat You will get better each game and even each turn. I can see that already in playing you. No - transports always get taken last. You'll need to enforce that yourself as Triple A won't do it automatically. That's not an issue here as I have no transports in the SZ with my carriers
-
@trout wait What?!???
Transports are taken last ALWAYS?
That has huge strategy implications. So a BB and a transport get hit by 2 fighters the second hit MUST BE the transport?.
-
@johnnycat No - in your scenario. Battleship gets sunk with the two hits. Transports take hits last always. Yes, that does effect naval strategy
