Originally controlled territory?

Yes planes can pass over any zone that contain enemy ships, enemy planes, or enemy units. Planes cannot pass over neutral countries. In sbr’s they have to fight their way in if escorted or not if they are intercepted. After the interception or not then they get shot at by aaa and then if they survive that they get to bomb the factories and the tac bomber’s can bomb the airfields and naval bases. You are right that in the older version the aa was always active but not anymore. Hope this helps! :-)

@cyanight:

Greece is a perfect place for all three especially if you take Turkey.

Definitely.

@General:

Korea is the only place Japan can drop a Major IC, if they want to go haywire on land units in China and Russia.

Exactly.

@Young:

It might be easier to list the uninteresting territories… Portugal, Samoa, Gold Coast, Greenland…etc

hehe, seems that way, good point

Yes, I listed many territories, but they are not all in the top. That is why I made the descriptions. The players can see themselves that there are several or dozens of them which are the best.

@ghr2

Thanks :)

thank you for the answers, that was my understanding aswell, but my group couldn’t agree on it so i wanted to clear out things.

@Frontovik:

play like a man, use OOB(+)

meaning with the phillipines harbor and airfield, changed aussie IC’s and russia neutrality applies to each board seperatly

I can agree with this. Typos are a different thing (they’re not a different version). A non-agression pact rule must be added, still

Just to provide logical justification: air units can’t scramble to provide air cover for adjacent provinces because those provinces can have their own fighters and/or airbase.  Sea zones cannot, and the purpose of air bases in many cases is to help nearby fleets.

Does this site allow explicit images such as swastikas?

In the Europe rulebook, it is on page 30 under Transports (Loading and Offloading).

All powers whose capitals are under enemy control work the same way.  If an ally recaptures their territory from the enemy, that ally gains control of the territory until the capital is liberated.  If they simply move into the territory while it is still under original control, nothing happens.  France in AAP40 is treated as a power whose capital is under enemy control.
