AAG40 FAQ

@Omega:

When one scramble for defense, can you decide to back after one round of fire?

Urgent, we stopped playing -.-

Defense cannot retreat.  Once the plane is scrambled, it remains in combat until it’s taken as a casualty and removed, or until the attacker chooses to retreat, or until the attackers units are all lost.

But it’s stuck there - you can’t take back a scramble.

Got it… one more quick question. So what is the general opinion or strategy on the USAs involvement in the war-specifically as Japan, do you just go for India, the Philippines, etc and let America enter early, or do you twiddle around conquering things until the Us enters at the end of turn 3? Thanks- I’ve played E40 a bit, but G40 only once.

It usually depends what your plans are for Germany, because bringing the US in early effects them greatly. If you want more in depth strategy advise, try creating a new topic with your questions.

RUSSIAN RULE QUESTION:

if japan does the turn 2 attack and germany Sits there/fails at london. can russia move into east persia(round 3) assuming it was taken by a pacific britt turn 1?
Russia is not at war with Europe but it and the rest of the world is at war with japan (russia declared war on japan) so can russia move to east persia since the pacific britts captured it, and they are at war on the pacific side?

No.  There are no “Pacific” UK units or “Europe” UK units.  Once they’re on the board, they’re just UK units.

I see follow up question same scenario can i fly to india?

Yes.

@Krieghund:

Yes.

But only if Russia is flying over territories on the Pacific side - essentially India via China, correct?  Otherwise that would be passing thru territories on the neutral side of the board, and I thought that was not permitted.

True.  The only territories on the Europe map that could be flown over en route are Soviet ones.

My gaming group has some questions about attacking subs and transports.  I think I have the rules understood. I just need some clarification to pass on to my group.  
1.) It is my understanding that during the combat move phase subs and transports do not block naval movement?

2.) In addition you can choose to move some forces through a sea zone containing either a sub or a transport as well as allocating some of those forces to attack said transport or sub?

3.) An enemy sub or transport in a sz does not prevent loading or offloading of your transports?  (Unless your transport is unloading and not accompanied by warships and there is an enemy sub present)

4.) If you attack a transport or sub in a sz it does negate any offshore bombardments if there is an amphibious assault taking place?

Please let me know what I have right and wrong and anything you can think of that I may have missed so I can clearly and finally settle a nagging part of the gameplay that slows us down alot.  Thanks everybody!

Assuming Alpha 3:

1.) Correct, and also during noncombat movement.  There is one exception, however (see 3, below).

2.) Correct.

3.) Correct, however transports can offload in the presence of enemy subs in noncombat movement without an escort.

4.) Correct.

Thanks Krieg!  You are the best!

Can the Chinese land their fighter in Burma?

If UK pacific units take Persia and Iraq, does the income add to UK Pacific or Atlantic?

The units don’t have nationality once they are on the board. If the territory taken (in your case, on the Europe board) is on either board, the income goes to that side. So no, income from Persia or Iraq goes to Europe.

London

Does not matter which units take it - all UK units are the same and work together.
Unless Alpha3 rules changed this (don’t think they did, but still need to read them….) West Canada goes to Europe and West India goes to Pacific, but otherwise the UK territories go by what boards they’re on.

Nope, no change from Alpha +2 to Alpha +3 in regards to the English units or what territories go to what treasury.
