AAG40 FAQ

If you’re not at war with the other power, then the other power’s ships are not considered hostile.

@De:

My apologies if this has already been asked/discussed, but I really do not have the time or attention span to scroll through 179 pages, could someone explain convoy raids. I found them rather unclear in the rulebook. Much obliged.

Do you want the original rules, or the current “Alpha3” rules?

Well I haven’t even read the Alpha3 rules yet, and they sound confusing.

But until Alpha3, it was fairly simple. During the collect income phase, both players are supposed to check for convoy disruptions (page 22, Europe manual).

I thought the rules on page 22 were very clear… What don’t you understand?

Say you are the UK. When collecting income you need to check all of the coastal territories that you own. If there are any enemy warships in sea zones bordering your territories, then you need to check for a convoy symbol in the zone. If there is a symbol, then you count the number of surface warships and deduct one IPC from your income for each enemy surface warship in convoy zones bordering your income producing territories. Deduct two for each enemy submarine. You cannot lose more than the value of the territory being raided, so if there was a German destroyer and 2 German carriers in Z119 at the end of your turn, you would deduct 2 IPC’s from your income total, because you are losing all the income for Scotland, which is worth 2. Normally a destroyer and 2 carriers would disrupt 3 IPC’s worth of income, but it is capped at 2 because Scotland is only worth 2.

Hey, great!  Happy to help.

@RedArmySoldier:

I have a similar scenario. Italy attacks Egypt from Tobruk with a tank and and a mech inf and lands more inf via an amphibious landing. The tank and mech infl blitz through British held unoccupied Alexandria. Italy then takes Egypt. Can I drive the remaining mech inf from Tobruk to Egypt now that I control Alexandria?

YES.

You are now in the non-combat movement phase.  Tobruk is friendly.  You could even make this move if Egypt was taken without moving the tank and infantry all the way from Tobruk to Egypt (as long as Alexandria was secured this turn).

@ViribusUnitis:

Are the following moves allowed?
Japan has its fleet in 36, attacks the blocker in 37 with a few ships and then during NC moves the rest to 38 including loaded transports.

YES.  Assuming all enemy surface ships in 37 were destroyed.

During the noncombat movement phase, Z37 is no longer blocked.

Can you NCM planes over a SZ in which you will build a Carrier, so that they will be on the Carrier at the End of your turn?

YES.
