Post subject: Aircraft stacking
|
 |
|
Hello everyone, had my 1st game tonight (I think I'm addicted already). We weren't sure about the aircraft stacking limit, so here it is-
How many total aircraft units can be in a sector? Is it 4 per side for 8 total, or 4 total? |

 to the forum!
For your question, you are correct. It is 4 per side for 8 total. In a 500 point game, it becomes 5 per side for 10 total.

Yea that was fun Green. Can't wait to do it again! I did some searching, and it looks like an aborted fighter can indeed shoot back at another fighter, it just can't strafe that turn. I have been wondering about that one for awhile lol.
JFK, thanks for clearing that up. I just thought of another one . .
Can a ship that has both main guns and torpedoes shoot both on the same turn, or does it have to choose between the two? |

| There are different phases for gunnery attacks and torpedo attacks, so you get to do both but at different times during your turn;) |

Actually, ships now fire gunnery and torpedoes in the same phase (Surface Attack) according to the latest rules update.

Please correct me if I am wrong -
1. SHIPS TORPEDOES are part of the SURFACE ATTACK.
2. During Surface Attack, a ship can only choose one to use (GUNS, ASW, or TORPEDO). They can't do 2 attacks (GUNS and TORPEDO).
Appreciate your clarification.
Thanks to all,

1 is correct.
2 is not correct. From the Rules Clarifications:
Ships: Make Gunnery and Torpedo attacks against enemy Ships in range. A Ship can make both Gunnery and Torpedo attacks in the same phase. You can attack different targets with each attack. If your ship has multiple batteries, each battery may fire one time. A Ship can't, however, make an ASW attack in the same phase it makes Gunnery or Torpedo attacks, and vice versa.

Yep, you guys have it sorted now. This is why I'm eagerly awaiting the new starter. It will be great to have the quick start guide and the illustrated examples from the instruction book with the updated rules. It's second nature to most of us now, but it's hard to wade through an instruction book and the corrections all at one time.
