AAG40 FAQ

@Uncrustable:

Seeing as its 2 different rulesets and 2 different setups, isnt 2 different FAQs needed?

Combining them doesnt seem to serve any purpose, if im playing the origional G40 and i have a question, then i post here. If im playing 2nd edition i ask my questions in the 2nd edition FAQ.

Or I could just have different sections with questions from original, alpha, alpha 2, alpha 3 and second edition.  In theory.    Although, to be honest, I’d just have 2nd edition and leave a pointer to a thread with answers for the other versions.

G1 - two subs attack SZ 109. UK scrambles 3 fighters into 109 to try to take out the subs.

Germany attacks first and hits - destroyer is removed from board. Lets say UK misses all or one hit - now the battle is over since planes can’t hit subs without destroyer present.

1. What happens to the UK transport in this situation since there was a scramble? Does it go down with the destroyer or do the scrambled fighters keep it alive?

2. UK sends transport/destroyer from Canada to SZ 109 and rather than ignore and land troops, destroyer initiates attack with the support of fighters. Lets say subs get a hit, so destroyer is gone. If transport is still alive, are they still barred from offloading (since destroyer gone and no longer escorting) even though sub/s submerged to end scramble battle? Or does the transport go down with the destroyer?

3. No scramble. Destroyer and sub/s take each other out. What happens to transport?

1. The transport is lost, as subs remain with no opposition.

2. Assuming that United Kingdom and Scotland are still held by the UK, the transport should be moving in noncombat movement, so this question is moot. However, if this were an amphibious assault, the transport, being an attacker, would be able to retreat if it survived the first round of combat. Note that if all of the defending subs either submerge or are destroyed, there would be nothing to retreat from.

3. Nothing, as the battle is over (assuming the transport itself was not hit during the battle).
