@genken Might be cool to have a house rule that 1) 1, 2 or 3 the ship is damaged in a way that it moves at half but attacks full or 2) 4, 5, or 6 it is damaged in a what that it moves 2 spaces but attacks with a hit on 1 or 2 vs 4 normally.
AAG40 FAQ
-
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.

I don’t mind - just curious.

Can advanced artillery support 2 mech or 1 inf 1 mech?
-
Can advanced artillery support 2 mech or 1 inf 1 mech?
Yes. From page 36:
“One artillery unit can support two infantry and/or mechanized infantry units per attack. Two infantry and/or mechanized infantry units when coupled with one artillery unit have attack values of 2.” -
If Germany builds an IC in Romania, can they place units in the black sea?
-
If Germany builds an IC in Romania, can they place units in the black sea?
Yes. Why couldn’t they? They just can’t move to another zone unless the Axis controls Turkey.

I’m drawing a blank right now.
If a fighter flies 4 spaces to attack (will land on carrier), and then retreats, is it able to move 1 more space?
I would think so, since all other units can move their maximum and yet retreat one space…

No, because planes don’t “retreat,” they “disengage.”

Hmmmm… Good point. Do you have a rulebook reference for me? I don’t want to take the time to look.
This question doesn’t apply to my ongoing battle in the Atlantic right now, but that battle made me think of this question…

I got that from you, I think. I think it was when you were talking to someone about attacking planes having their remaining movement range to retreat instead of just one space because they “disengage.”
-
Well, page 19 about attacker retreating says retreating air units remain in the uncontested space temporarily. They complete their retreat movement during the NCM phase using the same rules as an air unit involved in a successful battle….
But there are times when a fighter has no movement points (on defense) when it gets to move one space to safety. So I wonder if these aircraft can retreat to a carrier or friendly territory after “retreating”…
Guess I’m still not sure after reading that part of the rulebook.
Krieg?

The “one space to land” rule only applies to defending ftrs

@Yoper:
The exception to this is the battle in which the fighter can use its full movement to reach the SZ where the battle is taking place. As long as a CV can get to the sz (either in combat movement or ncm) for the fighter to land on, you can fly the fighter there.
Now if during combat resolution, the CV which moved there during combat movement (and was the designated landing spot for the fighter), decides to retreat, then the fighter is screwed.
Thanks for confirming….
I don’t think it’s come up in a game situation for me before, and I just realized that it could… (CV retreating when a fighter still lives that flew 4 spaces) I mean, it’s very rare. Normally you’re taking off fighters that moved the full 4 before a lot of other things…

This is probably a really simple question that is certainly not limited to this A&A game, but applies to like ALL of them, BUT, this FAQ is where the action is atm…
If a player amphibious assaults a territory, with some units, and attacks the same territory with some land based air units (or even other land based units), which units are inelligable to retreat. ALL of them, or just the units that amphibious assaulted. ALSO, if the air units can retreat, can they leave before the amphibious units are wiped out, in essence abandoning them to their fate, or do they have to wait until all the amphibious units are destroyed before they can retreat.
Thank you! And sorry its not a Global40 specific question.
-
It varies. In Classic, no unit could retreat from an amphibious assault, no matter where that individual unit came from. In Revised and the original Europe and Pacific, only air units could retreat. In AA50, AA42 and AA40, land units that attacked by land and air units may retreat. In all of these cases of partial retreats, all retreatable units must retreat at the same time, at the end of any round of combat, and they may do so whether or not any amphibious units remain in the battle.

can an aagun activate a pro neutral army by moving into the neutral territory in noncombat?

krieghund,
do air units get to retreat like all other units?
all other units can use their maximum movements to enter a battle, then retreat back to a territory or seazone that they came from. i am reading other posters saying that airunits do not get to retreat like all other units, this does not seem congruent with the rest of the rules.
thanks as always for your time in answering our questions.

The rules as written say yes, but the FAQ may say no. It’s under discussion.

Air units have a unique set of movement rules, different from those of other units. For example, they are the only units that may move in both combat and noncombat movement. This makes their retreat movement different from that of other units. Unlike other units, after retreating they remain in the contested space until the Noncombat Move phase, then they use their remaining movement to find a place to land. If they have already used up all of their movement (legal only at sea), they’re stuck in the hostile space, which most often means they’re destroyed.

It doesn’t seem like it would come into play very often. I like the idea of rewarding clever play, as it would be a non combat move. I’d say keep it as is, in the rules.
If you are allowing your enemy to move across the board with unescorted AAguns, maybe they should activate friendly neutrals to encourage you to attack. When does this come into play, after someone attacks true neutrals?

thanks for your quick, well detailed, and informative responses.
have air unit retreats worked the same way in past versions of the game?
i think i have been playing revised, anniversary, aa42, and pacific incorrectly this whole time. but the situation is pretty rare, so hopefully none of the games would have different results.
