Here is the situation: 2 German Fighters on Sardina 1 WA HB on Gib Shouldn't the 2 German Fighters op-fire on the WA HB flying from Gib to N. Italy? The WA HB is a unit. It had to fly through and out of the sea region containiing the Island They don't op-fire, here is what happened to me and Tica in our tournament game: he had one fighter and a TB on Sardinia, N. Italy was ungarrisoned. Thinking that an invasion force, would be op-fired I tried to knock out axis airforces resulting in on one allied HB and one CAG damaged for one axis fighter destroyed, the TB took two suppresion points. I tried the invasion and to my surprise no op-fire from Sardinia was triggered. I thouhgt it could be a bug and that the game was treating the TB as adived sub since it had suppresion points, so i tried the same in a new game with axis airforces in Sardinia without suppresion and still no op-firing. Big setback for Tica, 60 supplies lost for reconstruction + production in queu lost!!! Whether this is the way it is supposed to be or not, i don't know I haven't check the manual, but beware of this situation. Airforces in Malta do Op-fire at land forces being transported to Africa, IMO airforces in Sardinia should do the same with N Italy. Very interesting rjh1971. So I tested it. Your observation is correct from Gib to N. Italy. Land forces were able to amphib with no opfire from air forces on Sardina. So I tested it with sicily/malta Land forces were able to amphib from S. Italy to anywhere in Africa with WA air forces on both sicily/malta. Not what I would have guessed according to the rules. CAP seems to be the only reliable way in the med, but it does cost supply every turn. The biggest problem though, with having to use cap is that air units moved there strat can not be put on cap the same turn. (i.e. 3 months to get set up and get in the air) quote:
My thoughts since I think it was our game you are referring to MrQ ! hehe... Later Mike Yes, our game is what triggered my questioning. When I saw your HB fly from Gib (Can b17s really land on Gib?) to N. Italy unimpeeded I was baffled. Mike expect the turn in the next hour or two. -MrQuiet
