1.6.3 - Airfield deployment

Post by ncc1701e »

Is it a bug or do I miss something?

Here is the situation. I have invaded Guadalcanal. My opponent has built some coastal defenses before invasion.

When the hexes have changed ownership, the coastal defense was not removed.

Is it normal? I don't remember.

Now the real question is I have an unit with engineer specialty. But, why I can't deploy airfield around?

What am I missing? Is it because it is raining? :D

weird deal and seems like it should be changed but you can't have an airfield and a coastal fort in the same hex

You can't deploy the airfield because the port is already an airfield.

The defenses I have to check but they should be destroyed when invading.

In WPE IF you invade a hex with a defense it will be destroyed.

IF it changes because of ZOC it stays.

I would guess it is the same reason.

Thanks, but then you put defense everywhere to prevent new airfield from your opponent...

By the way, the airfield deployment is working only if you are on the location to deploy it. I was thinking it was on the nearby hexes also but this is not.

Oh and something strange, looks like India does not need an engineer unit to deploy airfields. Is it intended or not?
In my memory, Japan needs them.

In fact, it is Main Supply vs Port Supply. I understand now.

If your opponent has that much extra PP you won't have to worry since either you have already lost or they have no units just empty defenses.

Ok then there is no problem. Yea the engineer has to be on the hex to deploy the airfield.

They don't have transporters.

No problem for airfield yes, just the coastal that is not removed with ZOC, maybe normal then.
