@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

Questions…I know that the US cannot move into or through a sea zone occupied by japanese warships or where there is an island controlled by Japan before a DOW, but …1) If France falls on G1 can the US occupy a vacant FIC (if there are no UK/Anzac/Japanese forces already there) before it goes to war with Japan?. 2) Can the US move aircraft/troops/ships into any UK/Anzac held/occupied territory/sea zone if they (UK/Anzac) are not yet at war with Japan? 3) assuming the answers to both 1) and 2) are no, is it the case that the US is indeed strictly neutral at the start of the game and is basically restricted to building up/consolidating its forces in the Pacific prior to it going to war with Japan? Many thanks.

I’m going to assume from this statement that we’re talking about Alpha+.2 here. The only restriction in the Pacific on US ship movement is that they may not end their movement in sea zones adjacent to Japanese-controlled territories. They may move through such sea zones as long as they don’t stop there. They may also ignore Japanese warships.
- If France falls on G1 can the US occupy a vacant FIC (if there are no UK/Anzac/Japanese forces already there) before it goes to war with Japan?.
Only if it’s at war with someone. It doesn’t have to be Japan.
- Can the US move aircraft/troops/ships into any UK/Anzac held/occupied territory/sea zone if they (UK/Anzac) are not yet at war with Japan?
Only if the US is at war with someone.
- assuming the answers to both 1) and 2) are no, is it the case that the US is indeed strictly neutral at the start of the game and is basically restricted to building up/consolidating its forces in the Pacific prior to it going to war with Japan?
Yes.

Thanks Kreig, just one more question, or rather confirmation for me regarding scrambled fighters…since they are scrambled for defence I take it they cannot retreat from a sea battle that is going badly? thanks, mark.
-
That’s correct.
-
Can you scramble to more than one SZ from one airbase? As an example can UK scramble 1 fig to SZ 109 and 2 fig to SZ 110, or must all fig scramble to the same zone?
-
They may be split.
-
Is there a limitation on the number of times you can scramble during the course of a round ?
Exemple : could UK scramble against Germany, then Japan, then Italy on the same round ?
I know this situation is very unlikely, but just to be sure.
-
There is no such limitation.
-
The UK has a transport in Z96 and a fighter on Malta. If the Italians move through Z96 to Z98 to invade Egypt and they also attack Z96, can the fighter on Malta scramble and thus prevent the amphibious force from reaching Z98?
-
I do not believe so, I think the fighters / tactical bombers scramble during Conduct Combat Phase, not Combat Move Phase.
-
@Cmdr:
I do not believe so, I think the fighters / tactical bombers scramble during Conduct Combat Phase, not Combat Move Phase.
I think the same as Jennifer. Has to be final destination to scramble - pretty sure Krieg has said this before.

Jen and Gamerman01 are correct.
- Italy has to declare ALL their combat moves first.
- When they are done with combat move, then scrambling orders are given. (Combat moves are set and can’t be changed.)
Notice that in the AAE40 Rulebook (page 16) that Scrambling is listed in the ‘Conduct Combat’ Phase - Conduct Combat (Scramble Orders are set and can’t be changed.)
-
Can air units overfly territories that belong to a country they are not at war with yet during non combat move?
-
Yes, as long as there are no rules against the specific case.
-
I believe it was stated before that UK London and Calcutta could combine income for technology rolls.
Can they combine income to buy air and naval bases or Factories? The book discusses how “units” are place on the corresponding board. Facilities are mentioned in the units section but are not referred to as units.
I realize the answer is probably no, but I was curious about this as it would be advantageous in a few cases.
If this has been addressed, I apologize in advance for missing it.
-
Facilities are units. They must be purchased and mobilized separately by the UK economies.
-
Does scrambling against an invading amphibous assault negate bombardment by BB\CA in what would otherwise be an empty seazone?
-
Yes, as long as there are no rules against the specific case.
So Japan could overfly FIC from Yun to Siam if not at war with france.

When the Soviet Union becomes at War with Japan
4. Collect 12 IPCs, once, at the beginning of the turn following a declaration of war by Japan on the Soviet Union. Theme: Recognized national emergency.When Japan becomes at War with the Soviet Union
2. Collect 12 IPCs, once, at the beginning of the turn following a declaration of war by the Soviet Union on Japan. Theme: Recognized national emergency.So the originally offending power still gets the bonus if the defending power takes back their lost territory (since the defending power has to declare war to do so)? If Japan declares war on Russia and takes Amur, then Russia gets the 12 IPC but in order for Russia to take Amur back and not just let Japan walk to Moscow unthreatened, they will also have to declare war on Japan, in which case Japan also now gets 12 IPCs as far as I can tell from these rules as written. Is that the intent?
No. Only the first power to have war declared upon it by the other receives the IPCs.
Okay, I think that’s better… but am I reading the rules wrong? It seems to me like it should say:
Collect 12 IPCs, once, at the beginning of the turn following an unprovoked declaration of war by ______ on ________. Theme: Recognized national emergency.
It does, now. :wink:
Sorry to be difficult, but I just read something on the HGD Official Rules Clarifications thread:
If another power declares war on your power, your power is at war immediately, but only with the power that declared war on it. You must wait until your turn to make any declarations of war on other powers that were enabled by that declaration. For example, if Germany declares war on the United States, the United States is immediately at war with Germany, but it must wait until its turn to declare war on Italy.
This clarification makes good sense, but if this is the case, then the NO in question (IMHO) should not read “unprovoked”. Either one rule or the other needs to be published for clarification, but publishing them both is slightly inconsistent. To say “unprovoked” as you now do (per my suggestion :roll: :wink:) is misleading if the “defending” power is automatically at war with the offender. Perhaps you should instead simply remind the reader in the NO’s text of this fact of the rules so that there is no misunderstanding.??
