AAP40 FAQ

@allweneedislove:

i have seen conflicting info on aag40 power and turn order.

is anzac still a full separate power?
do they have their own economy, or is it combined with uk pacific command?
do they have their own turn, or do they move with uk pacific command?

thanks as always krieghund for your great work.

This question should have probably been placed in the Europe 1940 board where discussion of the Global game is as well, but here’s the answer from Larry Harris:

@johnnymarr:

Per LH 1//11/10

And the turn sequence for the Global game (combined AAP40 and AAE40) is:
1. Germany
2. Soviet Union
3. Japan
4. United Kingdom
5. ANZAC
6. Italy
7. United States
8. China
and 9. France.

ANZAC will be a full, separate power with its own turn different from the UK turn; and unless there are rules about specific pairings of the powers (like Revised had), UK and ANZAC will be able to be controlled by different players.

thanks for the response sas. i posted here as there is no aa.org aag40 discussion board yet and krieg answers questions in this thread with high frequency.

krieghund, i would still appreciate your answer to this question.

@Krieghund:

Sorry, Allweneedislove, I didn’t answer because I figured a quote from Larry was sufficient.

thanks as always for your support of the gamers.

no need to appologize, maybe i did not trust larry because even larry relies on your answers.

Can the UK fly planes over Japanese territory when it’s not at war?

@Krieghund:

Yes, as long as they’re not originally Chinese.

Well, then the answer might as well be no, since the UK has no need to fly over Siam or any island. The only useful one may be FIC

ANZAC NO says it is gained by ANZAC “occupying” an original Jap territory.  So can a player claim his 5 IPC’s by flying ANZAC aircraft onto the Carolines, or does “occupying” mean ground units only?

@Krieghund:

Air units count.

OK, thanks again.

Can planes on island be scrambled to defend sea units of another ally? eg. UK builds airbase on Borneo, ANZAC lands fighters there, Japan attacks US Destroyer off Borneo without attacking island itself. Can these ANZAC fighters participate in battle? Thanks.

yes

if a sub and a transport make a combat move into a sz with a lone enemy sub, and the enemy sub submerges before battle, it still gets to shoot at the transport at a 2 instead of 1?  This seems true in the rules, but very counter-intuitive.

@Bob_A_Mickelson:

If china captures a Japanese Naval or air base in an originally owned Chinese territory, china immediately destroys it like it does with complexes since these are facilities right?

No, only industrial complexes are destroyed.

Does china or other allies get to use said air bases?  Judging by the wording of the rules, I’m guessing no - they stay Japanese.

No, they are Chinese, and the allies can use them

Confirmation?  From page 9: “Although China’s purchases are made in the same way as the other powers, it does not have industrial complexes, or air or naval bases.”

Another question.
pg 12 states “If you want to make any amphibious assaults, announce your intent to do so during the Combat Move phase.”
Say US makes an amphibious combat move into sea zone 6.  Must the US player announce which territory (s)he intends to amphibiously assault?

I think that sentence implies that China can’t BUY bases; not that they can’t have them

In Z6, the US does have to announce which one

@Stoney229:

Doesn’t that just mean China can’t buy air or naval bases?  That’s entirely different from owning/using them.

Yes.  The land units should be designated to territories being assaulted before any dice are rolled.

the term used in the book is “have”.  That could mean they don’t have any available to be built (synonymous with cannot build, as you say), but it could also mean they cannot have them.  I’d like some confirmation on that.

Re:z6 - do you have confirmation/anywhere that this is stated specifically?  because I cannot find it in the rule book.
