Changing tension cost

[oleb]

US has played option 26 and placed a fleet with 2+ CVs and 6 BBs at Pearl. I dont see any way to adjust the tension cost for options against JP. Has anyone used this feature?

Ktarn,

If you have met the conditions for option 26,

Relocate fleet to Pearl Harbor - It is harder to declare war on Japan if you haven’t chosen this entry option.
Until you choose it, the only naval units that may base at Honolulu or Pago Pago are TRSs and CONVs. After you
have chosen it, any US naval unit can base there.

To avoid the +2 modifier for declaring war on Japan, you need a fleet of at least 8 SCS and 2 CV (owner’s
choice) in Honolulu when you attempt to declare war. A CV or SCS only counts if its first cycle cost is at least 2
build points and is not the Langley. If you have that fleet there, you also have more control over the tension level for
anti-Japanese entry options.

then you should see the the screen below when selecting an option targeted against Japan.

Note, you need 8 SCS and 2 CV's.

That explains it. Thanks.

I don't ever remember seeing the tension adjusment screen?

Have you had Fleet to Pearl yet?

[celebrindal]

No, he's stuck with trying to get tension so that he can gear up.. and has been very unsuccessful.

I've been there...

But until you can pass Fleet to Pearl and then do it, you won't see the "Adjust tension roll" dialog.

Ya finally found it in the RAC.. I don't ever remember that in the board game tho... been a few years tho so will chalk it up to that

As a side point i'm going to go discuss in the other forum about the change to USE chits and how it can slant a game one way or other.
