AAG40 FAQ

Right. Thank you.

Can japan build Ics in the east of china which have chinese roundels but were controlled by japan in the start of the game? like kiangsu? The rules state that you are only allowed to build ics on territories you originally control. Do the territories in china with orange color count with chinese roundels count as china’s original territories or japan’s original territories?

This is a rookie question.

If germany declares war on Russia does that effect U.S.A at all? as in the pacific or europe theater, or both.

What happens to the UK major IC if London is captured and the factory already has damage on it?  Does it downgrade to a mi nor IC with or without damage?  Same question for naval and air bases?  Thanks!

captured bases keep all damage markers to not exceed their maximum possible damage.  So a major with 10 points of damage will be downgraded to a damaged minor with 6 points of damage (the max it can have is 6 damage).  A major with 4 damage will be a minor with 4 damage. An airbase/navalbase with 4 damage will be an airbase/navalbase with 4 damage.  etc etc etc

Nope.

They are originally Chinese.  Japan cannot build a major industrial complex on them.

They are originally Chinese.  Japan cannot build a major industrial complex on them.

However, minor ICs may still be built on territories with values greater than two, correct?

Right, thanks and just another quick question. AA Guns don’t get removed when captured by the enemy in alpha 3 right? Thanks guys for answering all the questions

AA guns can’t be captured in alpha 3.  They can now be taken as losses in battle.

Wonders: If alpha 3 was OOB, would we have got specific plastic aa guns for each power?  Would have confused things for Germany since the 88mm is an AA/AT gun and not artillery.  If the reprints have plastic nation specific AA’s, that will be sweet!

So they are removed when captured right?

Ooops . sorry my bad.  :-D

z 113 I assault an empty Norway as the Soviets with a transport and cruiser

Is the airbase in W. Germany allowed to scramble even though I’m not assaulting that territory?

Yes.

I need a rule clarification.  If England’s major industrial complex carries 18 damage and Germany conquers England, the major industrial complex is reduced to a minor.  Does the damage transfer?

The damage is reduced to 6, the max for a minor.  If the damage was 4, it would have stayed at 4.

Side note: I still think there is a little flaw in the rules there.  A heavily industrialized territory bombed to max (20) dmg, needs to spend 11 ipcs to build one unit and a lightly industrialized territory bombed to max (6) dmg can do so with 4 ipcs.  It seems odd that a less industrialized territory can recover more easily. Maybe majors should be limited to 13 damage?  Or for every 2 points dmg production is reduced by one.  So 1-2 damage = 9 capacity, 3-4 dmg = 8 capacity, etc

Can a submarine move into a sea zone containing a destroyer during noncombat movement?

(I am double checking for a game, though I am pretty sure that this is allowed so long as they only moved into a SZ with a destroyer and not through a SZ with a destroyer.)

Yes; into, but not through.
