Regarding SZ 110, I got hosed one time on a UK scramble. Usually as Germany, I send 3 fighters, 3 Stukas, 1 bombers and sometimes 1 sub to SZ 110. Our UK player had gotten in the habit of not scrambling in order to save the RAF for future action.
Well, this one game I made the mistake of just assuming UK would not scramble. I sent 2 fighters, 2 Stukas and 1 bomber to SZ 110. The other fighter and Stuka I sent to kill the French fleet in SZ 93. Well, UK taught me a lesson. They scrambled and wiped out my planes. I didn’t even kill all the ships in the channel.
Never made that mistake again.
AAG40 FAQ

Yes, they are. This was a misstatement in the rules and will be corrected in the FAQ.
-
As usual, Calvin’s right.
What was the reasoning? AA guns are land units
It should be ‘land units with attack value’.
Problem solved, as our friend Wardog also hinted at.
-
For the situation of “I have lots of money and am rubbing it in”, can you buy a naval base for a territory with no adjacent sea zone? My friend and I have a tradition of trying to outdo each other with useless buys when we’re going to win and have lots of unnecessary money.

Absolutely. You can build a naval base on any land territory.
-
Naval bases may only be built in territories that are adjacent to sea zones.

:roll: So I was wrong on a totally meaningless rule!
Betcha can’t buy more than one base per tty either, right? :roll:
kdfsjljk… Just buy extra AA guns at the new discounted price of 5 IPC’s (per Alpha +.2 anyway) and stockpile them in the same territory where they would be redundant. That’s a good way to show off.

Buying a fleet for the Caspian Sea is a good way to show your wealth and rub it in :-D

Here’s a better idea: spend it on as many factories as you can buy. For example, japan can buy a minor for each Chinese tt, the US for Alaska, Mexico, and Brazil, UK for Egypt, Persia, Ontario, Scotland, West India, and malaya, Germany for its European holdings and Russia for all its Southern 2 ipc tt.

Or a fleet in the Great lakes or Lake Ladoga or Lake Biakal(all illegal anyway)

The point is for it to be pointless though. IC’s aren’t. Unless I put one in greenland. That might work.

They are pointless if you never use them…

Only in AA42 and earlier games could you build ICs on 0 or 1 ipc territories.

Yep, definitely harder to waste money now. Buy tech!!! Spending 20 on tech with ANZAC sends a message, right Calvin? :-D

I recall spending over 15.
Anyway, apparently, this is an example of one of the reasons I should kill myself.

Calvin, don’t do it!!! :-P

Just noticed something when reading the scramble section again.
Can you only scramble when an island with an airbase is being attacked?
If so are Japan, Australia, and Britain islands?
Does China have an actual capital for the Axis to take over and take China’s IPCs?
-
In OOB, only islands can scramble. Japan is an island; Oz and the UK are not.
China has no capital and doesn’t lose ipcs.
-
In the Alpha.+1 rules under the new scramble rules.
Can different countries all scramble together as along as there are no more then 3 fighters? So like a combination of two U.S and one U.K. fighters on a U.K. island or coastal territory
-
yes
