AAG40 FAQ

If a fighter uses all of its movement points to get to a sea battle and then retreats, it will have no place to land and crash because it can’t go anywhere.

1. You either declare war or are at war by someone declaring on you(i.e. already at war). Convoy raiding only occurs if at war. Regardless of if you had a chance to fight yet. (Meaning they declare war or actually attack your units, and during their collect income phase your subs destroy IPCs. Even if you have not had a turn yet.)
2. If the fighter lives, it won’t have any movement and the carrier will be required to move there for it to land. If the carrier does not move in (unable to) then the fighter crashes, hopefully you can assign a hit to destroy the fighter if you do not want to move it there. During retreats, land and sea units move to a friendly/non-hostile territory they came from. Air units have always remained and landing normally during non combat. Therefor, I believe the plane would crash during non combat as it has no additional movement and there is no landing space if the carrier is not there to “catch” it. The only example of planes receiving 1 extra movement are defending planes who have their carrier destroyed, they have 1 movement space to land or crash.
3. Yes the Chinese territories shaded orange on the board (i.e. Japan’s starting territory color) are “originally” controlled by Japan. (Manchuria, Jehol, Shantung, Kiangsu, Kiangsi, and Kwangsi) the other eligible territories are (Siam, Korea, Japan, Okinawa, Formosa, Hainan, Iwo Jima, Marianas, Marshall Islands, and Paulau). Remember the allies can control it first, you get the once per game income when an Anzac unit lands either during combat or non combat.
This is not official, but it is the way we play it in my group. Krieghund is the user name of the guy that writes the axis rules. His replies are axis “gospel”.
Edit: Krieghund answered while I was typing this up….bad timing on my part.

Sorry, James, but Gamerman01 was right. The symbol that’s printed on the board determines original control of territories. Manchuria, Jehol, Shantung, Kiangsu, Kiangsi, and Kwangsi are Chinese original territories, not Japanese ones.

A question: let’s imagine that London is in axis hands. Then, UK units from India (or even from Persia for that matters) free West India from Italy’s hands. In other words, wich rule has preference, the one that says that UK collects income from Europe’s board and India from Pacific’s board, or the rule that says that when you free a territory and the original controller has lost its capital, the ally that liberated the territory collects the income?
-
Now, let’s imagine that UK takes Iraq (pro-axis neutral) after London has fallen. Can India collect the money?

The rule about capturing an ally’s territory while that ally’s capital is in enemy hands doesn’t apply here, as UK is liberating its own territory. The rules make no exception for UK income collection when one capital is captured. Those territories simply produce no income until they are captured by another power.

No, for the same reason.

I am hoping for an errata that USSR must remain neutral toward Europe Axis when it is neutral toward Europe Axis.
Yeah, what I mean is USSR should not be allowed to join the UK, France or USA in any territory on the Europe side of the board before USSR is at war with Euro Axis.
Ramifications - USSR landing plane in Egypt, Scotland, or London (requiring DOW on Russia by Euro Axis if they want to attack UK, France, or USA).
One more errata I’m hoping for - improved Russo-Jap diplomacy rules.
Just want to be on record as supporting these, for what it’s worth.

if UK is at war with Japan, shouldn’t Russia be allowed to send units into British territory?

Not on the Europe side. Japan is nowhere to be seen over there.

What if Japan has taken parts of Africa?

then logically, Nova and Quebec border each other
That doesn’t necessarily follow. The four spaces appear to meet at a point, which indicates that Eastern United States doesn’t border sea zone 106 and Quebec doesn’t border New Brunswick/Nova Scotia. The question is whether the St. Lawrence Seaway is meant to be an extension of sea zone 106, dividing the latter two territories, or just a passable border between them.
What was Larry thinking when he made this map ? :-o
-
What if Japan has taken parts of Africa?
By round 4?? In a place the Russians would actually want to land a plane?? Be serious.
Admit it, it’s a good rule and should be in the official errata.
-
can the US move its atlantic fleet to z106 when not at war?
can the US move ground troops into canada territories(nova scotia, quebec, etc) before they are at war?
if yes, does the US get to use the Nova Scotia naval port advantages when not at war?
-
if fighters “retreat” from a battle, do they get to finish their movement points, or do they only get to move 1 space like ground units?
-

Yes, they get all their movement points. Fighters don’t really retreat, they “disengage”. They are moved in the noncombat phase, while the ground units are retreated to another territory immediately.

thanks g-man
-
can the US move its atlantic fleet to z106 when not at war?
Yes, the US can move boats anywhere except zones bordering Europe and Africa when not at war.
can the US move ground troops into canada territories(nova scotia, quebec, etc) before they are at war?
No, the US can’t move any ground or air to any allied territory before they are at war.
if yes, does the US get to use the Nova Scotia naval port advantages when not at war?
The answer was no. And the US can’t use any allied facility before at war. Do you not have the P40 rulebook? It’s all in there, and it’s very clear.

yes i have it. just kind of lazy. this is easier when the rule book is not right at hand.
