carrier aircraft

Warplan is a World War 2 simulation engine. It is a balance of realism and playability incorporating the best from 50 years of World War 2 board wargaming.

I'm okay with how it is, I just wanted to be sure I understood how it works

The deal is that if I do this the system gets overly complex. Then we see players baiting CV fleets to destroy them because players can't answer for all conditions. It was incredibly challenging to design a naval system that worked well when you don't have a chance to react on your turn and make decisions like more board games or RTS allow you to do.

Thanks. While I basically consider the naval war a sideshow in Europe, that won't be the case in the Pacific, and I'm not convinced the system will work well there. I guess time will tell.
