Global 2nd edition Q+A ( AAG40.2)

I had a feeling there would be something when I wrote that!

Thanks, Krieghund

A territory was a friendly neutral at the start of a power’s turn. The power activates it during NCM. Can a facility (for simplicity, an airbase) be built there this turn?

Thank you

Morning and welcome Jon Von Neumann.
The answer is no, I am afraid. You do need to have controlled it since the beginning of your turn.

Thank you very much. Happy to know for sure.

@Imperious:

I think i was tricked by some rule Lawyer. He said bombers attacking fighters alone just attack at 1, not 4. The 4 attack is only against land targets. I sent 2 German bombers to wipe out a UK fighter at Gibraltar. Tell me this rule is bunk. His reasoning is bombers cant “bomb” flying planes.

He’s thinking of the air battle rules before SBR
Bombers, tactical bombers, and fighters attack at 1, as do defending fighters.

In conventional combat, it’s as it always has been.  Bombers attack at 4, fighters defend at 4, bombers defend at 1…

If you are doing an SBR of a base at Gibraltar and you are doing an air to air battle before an SBR, then yes your bombers attack at 1 and his fighter defends at 1 (if he chooses to intercept).

However, if you are not doing SBR but are attacking a fighter, then your bombers attack at 4 and his fighter defends at 4

@Imperious:

Exactly as i knew, but i listened to him and didn’t make the attack.

That’s probably best for you anyway, unless that UK fighter was going to do something particularly important that turn.  :-)

Can UK and Anzac prevent Japan from loading their transports in combat move if UK moves a warship into a seazone (in this case z36) and Anzac declear war on them.

Dirty is the way allies play :) Soviet pirate income from Somaliland, YARRR!

That’s awesome, I’ll have to remember it LOL. Any delay of Japan getting to the money islands will help.

Well, the trick is, it does constitute an unprovoked attack, and UK will not get the NO, and it costs you a destroyer, but if your opponent is unsuspecting it can be very effective, yes.

If russia non-combat into an american controlled korea, does this affect the mongolia rule?

How is damage calculated when doing an SBR on a major IC?
I know each surviving bomber gets to roll a dice, but sometimes I see a 7 or 8 for a dice. Why is that?

Strategic Bombers each inflict one die plus two (1d6+2) points of damage.
If you roll a 5, that’s 7. If you roll a 6, that’s 8.
