AAP40 FAQ

@Krieghund:

@Make_It_Round:

1. Once the US is at war with Japan, can the Americans take over Dutch territories, or is that right always reserved for the UK/ANZAC player(s)?

No.  Only UK and ANZAC may take control of Dutch territories while they are still Dutch-controlled.  The US may capture them from Japan, however.

@Make_It_Round:

2. Can the US invade non-player neutrals (like Mongolia, if it were reachable) before turn 3?

The US may not move units into neutral territories before it’s at war.

@Make_It_Round:

2b) Can the US enter ‘pro-Allied’ neutrals (or will this be considered an ‘invasion’ as well, and therefore impermissible)?

No.

Can the US take originally dutch territories from japan?

@Krieghund:

@allweneedislove:

i would prefer to play by a house rule that says japan wins by controlling 6 victory cities at the end of a complete round and one of the victory cities mustt be tokyo. allies win by controlling tokyo and at least one of their capitals after the power of japan has had one turn to try to recapture tokyo.

You won’t have to have a house rule.  This is exactly what’s going into the errata.

excellent work as always. i am impressed with your continuing work to make sure this game is as good as it can be.

i will call this the allweneedisvictory conditions rule, and when i print out the errata i will put an asterick beside it and refernce it at the bottom of errata, to make myself feel special.

If you capture a territoy with an AA gun, are you allowed to move it during noncombat?

Also, are you allowed to build a naval base in a landlocked territory(like the caspian sub, this would only be done if you have too much money)?

Are you allowed to move an AA gun into a newly captured territory?

If I have to do a sea combat before an amphibious assult, and the result of the sea combat is I have 1 trans remaining and my opponent only has trans remaining, can I still unload?

Yes.

If a capture a naval base in my turn, can I use it during non-combat?

@calvinhobbesliker:

If a capture a naval base in my turn, can I use it during non-combat?

No, it’s the same as capturing an industrial complex or AA gun.  You can’t use it until next turn (although with the Allies, the next Ally could use it on their turn).

1. When the US is not at war, it can’t use British/Allied naval bases, right?

2. If the Japanese capture a dutch territory after the UK declared war on them, does this bring the US into the war?

3. Why do you have to have a note in the rulebook saying that scrambled fighters must land on the island they started on unless it’s captured?__ The only way it could be captured is via amphibious assault, which would mean that the scrambled unit(s) would have to be destroyed to clear the sea zone.

If China controls Burma or Kwangtung(by liberating them after India falls), can it build infantry in them?

If China liberates Kwangtng when India is Japanese and thus China takes control of it, would an IC in Kwangtung be destroyed?

@Krieghund:

3. That’s correct, right now.  It may not be once technology is introduced in the global game.

Exactely how is that gonna work ? A political coup is part of the new technology ? I mean, you scramble a fighter screen, an no enemy ships can break through this screen and land on the island before every fighter is killed, nor can airborne units break through this screen and drop on the island before every defending fighter is killed, so the only way to take the island when the scrambling fighters are surviving, is a coup, right ?

Can’t paratroopers be dropped from bombers over the island?
