The FAQ on Larry’s site has been updated with an erratum concerning the victory conditions.
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)?

No.

There’s nothing that says you can’t.
Are you allowed to move an AA gun into a newly captured territory?
Yes.
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.
Yup.
If a capture a naval base in my turn, can I use it during non-combat?
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).
Correct.
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.
1. Correct.
2. No.
3. That’s correct, right now. It may not be once technology is introduced in the global game.
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?
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?
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?
No to both, as Burma and Kwangtung are not Chinese territories.

Let’s say, theoretically, that there are paratroopers in the global rules. Then let’s say that an island has one infantry and one fighter on it, and that island is attacked by two paratroopers and an amphibious force escorted by a destroyer. If the defender scrambles the fighter to fend off the amphibious assault and sinks the destroyer, forcing the transports to retreat, but then the paratroopers take the island by themselves, the scrambled fighter will be stranded. Again, this is all theoretical.
If you SBR a naval base and the cumulative damage is 3 or more, can the naval base’s owner repair the base and use it to repair capital ships at the same time??
If so, I’m struggling to see the value in bombing airbases and naval bases, when they have a max damage of 6, but are functional at 2 or less damage. Basically, you have to endure AA fire and can only get a maximum of 4 damage. :|
But if you can’t repair a capital ship in the same phase you are repairing the base, then wow, it’s definitely worth it. But I have a feeling the answer is yes, you can repair a naval base and then use it to repair all your carriers and battleships at the same time, making the bombing of the naval base rather pointless (Risking a 12 IPC bomber to AA fire to get a max of 4 damage) :|
Krieg? And I’m curious - is this question adequately addressed in the rulebook that I do not own? I’m just using the set of rules posted on the A&A homepage…
