@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

If I purchase a Carrier, conduct combat which ends in a plane stopping in the Sea Zone where the Carrier is to be placed, is that allowed? Or does the plane have to land on the land since at the end of NCM there isn’t a Carrier there until the next step?
-
Yes, it’s allowed.
-
Please confirm.
Surprise Strike for Subs. Attacking subs score a hit, this hit is recorded and the unit moves behind the casualty strip.
Defending subs fire and score a hit, the attackers unit is removed prior to general sea combat.
Do the defending units which took a hit from the attacking subs get removed or do they get a chance to attack in general combat? Or do they only get to attack if the defending unit which takes a hit is a sub?
-
Please confirm.

Unless the’re subs, they’re removed automatically. If they are subs(and the attacker doesn’t have a destroyer), they can fire back.

That depends. If the attacking subs score a hit on boats that are not accompanied by a destroyer, those boats are immediately removed, and do not return fire (definition of surprise strike). If the attacking subs score a hit on boats that ARE accompanied by a destroyer, the surprise strike capability is nullified, and those boats DO return fire.
Defending subs fire and score a hit, the attackers unit is removed prior to general sea combat.
“General” sea combat?? Defending subs get a surprise strike capability (shoot before attacker does) if the attacker has no destroyers. If the attacker does have destroyer(s) then the subs don’t get surprise strike. Simple as that.
Do the defending units which took a hit from the attacking subs get removed or do they get a chance to attack in general combat? Or do they only get to attack if the defending unit which takes a hit is a sub?
Doesn’t mater what type of unit the defending unit is. See above. If you have a destroyer, your units always get a chance to fire when taking sub hits. If you do not have a destroyer and you get hit by a sub, you gone, man! You don’t get to fire.

Unless, of course, you merely damage a CV or BB

Yes, unless the unit is damaged rather than destroyed.
Defending subs fire and score a hit, the attackers unit is removed prior to general sea combat.
Yes, as long as it’s destroyed, and not merely damaged.
Do the defending units which took a hit from the attacking subs get removed or do they get a chance to attack in general combat? Or do they only get to attack if the defending unit which takes a hit is a sub?
All casualties are removed at the end of step 2. Only units that didn’t fire and weren’t destroyed in step 2 will fire in steps 3 and 4.

If the Allies liberate one of the originally Japanese territories with a Chinese marker on them, and then either Italy or Germany take it back, is the territory liberated back to Japan or do Italy or Germany keep it?
To make this clearer, I’ll use an example.
CHI3: Shanghai is taken from Japan by China.
GER4: Germany takes Shanghai.
Is Shanghai now German or Japanese?

German.
You go by the symbol on the map. No Japanese symbol? Japan does not get claim to it just because she had it in 1940 (at game start).

Hi all–- is there a usable battlemap version out there yet that anyone knows about? We’re trying to test things and possibly hire a programmer to set us up to be able to run the global game at AAMC. Any help would be great.

You may not activate a friendly neutral territory by moving an antiaircraft gun into it.
-
In the global game, if the Soviet Union is at war with Axis powers on only one map, it is still under the restrictions of being a neutral power (see Powers That Begin the Game Neutral, pg. 15) on the other map. In other words, war with Japan lifts those restrictions from the USSR on the Pacific map only, and war with Germany and/or Italy lifts those restrictions on the Europe map only.

Thank you…very happy as I feel these should be the right clarifications. :-)

That Soviet rule makes sense, seems natural to me.

This came up in a game over the weekend.

The answer is “a”. Surprise Strikes are simultaneous.

Yes, it does, before any shots are fired.

Quick question about convoy disruptions. I played a game over the weekend and the UK player was very upset that he got convoy disrupted on newly captured territories. He was trading control of Egypt with Italy and since Italy’s navy was on the opposite side of the canal in the disruption zone every time he took Egypt he lost 3 IPC’s instead of gaining the 2 for Egypt. First, were we correct in being able to convoy disrupt the newly captured territory and second what is the reasoning behind that. Thanks!
