AA50 Rules Errata and Q+A
-
And one more thing - the bomber can fly over hostile territories after dropping.
Yes, in noncombat movement, after the battle.

@Emperor:
There’s more, if you read page 14 you will also see that once the transports have moved or participated in combat they are done, they can’t conduct Non combat moves.
Unbelievable! Thanks for drawing this to my attention. Pay attention, BoldFresh.
The rulebook on page 14 says when an opponent builds any surface warship in your sea zone, you have to 1) conduct combat 2) leave 3) leave, pick up units from another sea zone (not hostile), and return, or 4) leave, pick up units from another sea zone and conduct combat elsewhere.So when a destroyer is built (in Z5, e.g.) it prevents ALL BOMBARDMENT, ALL LOADING OF UNITS, AND ALL NONCOMS FOR ALL YOUR TRANSPORTS that were in that zone for a turn. Unbelievable. I guess it’s been a long time since I read page 14.
I look forward to you squandering what little resources germany has left on Destroyers. :evil: :evil:
Oh, I see. When you do it, it’s shrewd, but if I do it, it’s squandering. I have plenty of resources to keep you guys out of Berlin for a very long time, by the way. Longer than I need. :-D
I would like more clarification on this one.
Assumption is SZ5 with a german destroyer and Brit fleet, and its UK’s turn.
-If a transport is not moving out of SZ5 for a combat move, then is it involved in the SZ5 battle, making it stuck in SZ5? True or not true? Is there any way for the transport to move out of SZ5 (during either cm or ncm) besides making a combat move (eg an amphib)?
You can imagine the dilemna of a player that wants to move his fleet out of SZ5 but doesn’t need or want to use the sz5 transports in a combat move in another zone.
It seems related to the question of whether the transports from the attacking power take part in sea battles at all.

True.

It must move in combat movement, or not at all. However, if it moves in combat movement, no attack is required. Of course, if it is not performing an amphibious assault, it may not load units in another sea zone.

question: UK1 - there is a german sub in z12. if the UK wished to attack the sub with a lone destroyer from z9 AND amphibiously assault alg from Z12, what happens if the sub hits first in z12? does this disallow the amphibious assault? i’m guessing that since a transport can ignore a sub and move through it’s zone, the amphibious assault can occur first, before the sea battle, but if the player wanted to conduct the sea battle first and if the sub held the zone without loss, since the sea battle was lost, can the amphibious assault still occur?
thank you.
-
Subs can only be ignored during movement. If you attack a sea zone, all units in the sea zone belonging to the attacker and defender will be involved. As with any amphibious assault, the sea battle must be fought first. If the sub hits first, the transport must retreat or be destroyed.
If you don’t want to take a chance on the invasion being repelled, don’t attack the sub.

he can conduct the amphibious assault without killing the sub first, thereby not risking loosing transport?
-
Yes, he can choose to ignore the sub.

does western canada touch sea zone 1?
-
No.

I have a question on AA-fire.
Do AA guns fire during fly overs (during a combat move)?
It can up in a game.
Situtation:
AA gun on France and AA gun on Ger.
UK ftrs (in Bul) flyover Ger and attack Fra.
Do the Germany AA guns get a chance to fire before France’s? -
Nope… those Spitfires are flying too high and not near those AA’s in Germany.
-
Bummer.
So an AA in Persia, doesn’t protect Cauc/Kaz from J ftrs in Sz 34?
Wow.

Wow.
That’s right. It was one of the MAJOR changes from the Revised edition.

Wish I knew it a little earlier. Lol!
-
No.
thank you, that’s good to know.
in 1942 set up, is solomen Islands considered an original jap territory since they start the game controlling it?
-
No.

No. You go by what is printed on the map (so original territories are the same in 1941 and 1942). It is an original UK territory, and won’t count for that NO.

Could someone please answer this question:
Setup:
there is a japanese fleet in Z36 with a destroyer
there are japanese ground units on FIC
the USA owns PHI
the USA puts a submarine in Z36 during noncombatQuestion: on the Japanese turn, can the Japanese use the destroyer to attack the submarine AND load units to a transport from Z36 to attack PHI?
As I read the rules, if the Japanese ignore the USA submarine, they can load units in Z36 during the combat phase.
Cheers
-
Yes. Enemy subs can always be ignored during movement when there are no enemy surface warships present.
-
But is it possible that the US moves a sub in sz36 during NCM, since there is a destroyer, I guess it cancels the sub ability no ?
