AAG40 FAQ

@katfishkris:

if fighters “retreat” from a battle, do they get to finish their movement points, or do they only get to move 1 space like ground units?

Yes, they get all their movement points.  Fighters don’t really retreat, they “disengage”.  They are moved in the noncombat phase, while the ground units are retreated to another territory immediately.

@katfishkris:

can the US move its atlantic fleet to z106 when not at war?

Yes, the US can move boats anywhere except zones bordering Europe and Africa when not at war.

can the US move ground troops into canada territories(nova scotia, quebec, etc) before they are at war?

No, the US can’t move any ground or air to any allied territory before they are at war.

if yes, does the US get to use the Nova Scotia naval port advantages when not at war?

The answer was no.  And the US can’t use any allied facility before at war.  Do you not have the P40 rulebook?  It’s all in there, and it’s very clear.

@katfishkris:

thanks g-man

anytime

@gamerman01:

Do you not have the P40 rulebook?  It’s all in there, and it’s very clear.

yes i have it.  just kind of lazy.  this is easier when the rule book is not right at hand.

I don’t mind - just curious.

@calvinhobbesliker:

Can advanced artillery support 2 mech or 1 inf 1 mech?

Yes.  From page 36:
“One artillery unit can support two infantry and/or mechanized infantry units per attack.  Two infantry and/or mechanized infantry units when coupled with one artillery unit have attack values of 2.”

@keplar:

If Germany builds an IC in Romania, can they place units in the black sea?

Yes.  Why couldn’t they?  They just can’t move to another zone unless the Axis controls Turkey.

I’m drawing a blank right now.

If a fighter flies 4 spaces to attack (will land on carrier), and then retreats, is it able to move 1 more space?

I would think so, since all other units can move their maximum and yet retreat one space…

@calvinhobbesliker:

No, because planes don’t “retreat,” they “disengage.”

Hmmmm…  Good point.  Do you have a rulebook reference for me?  I don’t want to take the time to look.

This question doesn’t apply to my ongoing battle in the Atlantic right now, but that battle made me think of this question…

Well, page 19 about attacker retreating says retreating air units remain in the uncontested space temporarily.  They complete their retreat movement during the NCM phase using the same rules as an air unit involved in a successful battle….

But there are times when a fighter has no movement points (on defense) when it gets to move one space to safety.  So I wonder if these aircraft can retreat to a carrier or friendly territory after “retreating”…

Guess I’m still not sure after reading that part of the rulebook.

Krieg?

@Yoper:

The exception to this is the battle in which the fighter can use its full movement to reach the SZ where the battle is taking place.  As long as a CV can get to the sz (either in combat movement or ncm) for the fighter to land on, you can fly the fighter there.

Now if during combat resolution, the CV which moved there during combat movement (and was the designated landing spot for the fighter), decides to retreat, then the fighter is screwed.

Thanks for confirming….

I don’t think it’s come up in a game situation for me before, and I just realized that it could… (CV retreating when a fighter still lives that flew 4 spaces)  I mean, it’s very rare.  Normally you’re taking off fighters that moved the full 4 before a lot of other things…
