I see that in 6th and 2nd Fleet games, carrier CAP with AEW is full strength at 1 or 2 hexes, 1/2 and 3, and 1/4 at 4. Then in 7th Fleet it is full strength at...

I don't have a problem with carrier groups having a weaker CAP at longer range than land bases. I just found it curious that the designer decided to toughen...
Hello having played 7th Fleet over the last few days the question of CAP over bases came up and the difference with CAP over aircraft carriers. When...
In 7th fleet, Land Air Bases and carriers with an AEW on CAP use their full AA value out to all 4 hexes. In fact land air bases are full stength out to 4 hexes...

... If you are using a gbx entitled 5th Fleet v2.01 (or something like that, it would appear the designer of the .gbx created only one SAD. You need to create...
Why would you need two SAD's? Although there are two in the physical game, that's just so you can physically place the markers simultaneously, there really is...
Yeah, I'm reconsidering if this is necessary, too. I think high elevation escort missions placed on the STrat display would be picked up on radar by both ...
You can do double blind strategic air the same way you do double blind everything else, which I assume is by having three sets of gameboards, one with...

This could get ugly if there are overlapping CAPs. It's clearly not stupid. Since it violates regular rules it needs to be specified at the game start as a...
