    I have also raised the issue of Chinese units noncombat moving into Kwangtung and Burma (before UK/ANZAC are at war with Japan) in the Pacific 1940 FAQ thread, for Krieghund’s attention. Would be great to get this officially clarified.


  • @Krieghund:

    The Alpha rules are done.  They will be included in the second editions of Europe and Pacific 1940, due out later this year.

    Will there be anything new in the games?


  • Can i zoom trough proallies neutral with tank as allies? Or do i have to stop at first teritory.
    For example zoom through Eastern Persia to Persia from West India.
    Same for axis?

    Nope, you are allowed to blitz unfriendly neutrals but not Friendly neutrals.  For example, Russia can’t take North Persia and Central Persia on the same turn with a tank from Caucasus.

    When you have Heavy Bombers tech, I  understand that your Bombers get an additional roll (choose best) for both combat, and bombing.

    Do they get that additional dice during interception though?  (assuming yes)

    And no techs except for Long Range Air affect Tactical-Bombers, right?  (assuming that they don’t)

  • Official Q&A

    You are correct.

    @Veqryn:

    I don’t get this. Are you saying that Heavy Bombers may fire two dice in attack during the one-combat round air battle between Escorts and Interceptors? I thought page 14 of the Pac40 manual and page 16 of the Eur40 manual both state that attacking Bombers do not fire in this special combat?

    I think tactical and strategic bombers firing in dogfights was a Alpha 3 change.

    Still poof.

  • TripleA

    For alpha 3 rules what is the german navy setup.

    On Larry’s site it says cruiser and transport are in sz114. on AA.Org Official Alpha 3 Thread it says they are in sz113 with the bizmark.

    when the new print run of global is released what will be the official setup for the german cruiser and transport?

    Thanks,

  • TripleA

    out of range from taking over the united kingdom round 1.


  • Cruiser and transport in 114.  Battleship in z113.

    I think it’s just ICs that go poof.

    When did that start?

  • TripleA

    Man I can’t remember if stuff goes poof or not!


  • Page 9 of Pacific Rulebook:
    “If a Japanese industrial complex is built on a Chinese territory and that territory is later recaptured by the Chinese or liberated by another Allied power, the industrial complex is removed from the game.”

    The rulebook is silent on bases in China, (and it doesn’t specify about German or Italian complexes because they forgot about global ramifications, although that could reasonably be implied, of course).  Since the rulebook doesn’t explicitly mention air or naval bases, but specifically identifies industrial complexes, I think that means naval bases and air bases are never removed from the game, as Vance guessed.

    I looked over Alpha2 and Alpha3 rules and don’t see this issue mentioned, so IIRC OOB has the rules.  You will need Krieghund to confirm, which he may have already and I forgot, about the naval and air bases in China issue.  I’m thinking he did weigh in on the issue a long time ago (when only Pacific was out) and the answer is IC’s ONLY are removed, not bases.


  • As I recall, bases are not removed, as they can be used by the allies and don’t run counter to chinese rules.  As China doesn’t use factories for placement, they have no need for factories and are simply removed.  Air bases and naval bases can potentially be used, so they remain.

  • TripleA

    ok awesome now I remember what goes poof or not, that sounds right too. I remember playin that way.
