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

@IKE:

Why would you want to put a naval base in a land locked territory?

Air and naval bases can stop blitzing (and can be worthwhile for this in rare scenarios).

Brilliant, Wheat
Never thought of that.  Guess you can always build an airbase

In this scenario there’s a Japanese fleet in sz26 with several air units, carriers, a dd, and a bb. Additionally there is a ftr/tac combo in sz6. US has a small fleet in sz10, air to scramble to help cover said fleet, a blocker in sz12, and still hold Hawaii. Japan sends all the air in sz26 plus the air from sz6 to hit sz10. Additionally, they send their single dd to clear the blocker as the NB is not in their hands and they can’t kamikaze their planes.

Is Japan obligated to stay in sz12 till the end (regardless of the result) or can they go for a single round and then retreat if they survive? Does the order of battles play a part in whether the dd can retreat or not? IE, say the sz12 is rolled first and the planes theoretically could survive, so it forces Japan to stay vs retreating. Or could the dd retreat if the sz10 battle has already been rolled and the ftr/tac from sz6 didn’t survive said battle?

The Destroyer may retreat from Z12 after 1 round.

The rule for ensuring aircraft can land is only effective for the COMBAT MOVEMENT phase.
Then, in the NON-COMBAT MOVEMENT phase, all carriers MUST pick up fighters IF ABLE.

There are no rules for the CONDUCT COMBAT phase regarding saving aircraft, so retreats are legal even though they jeopardize air.

Thanks!

Quick rules question guys.

UK1 IC placement in Persia (after it was taken during ncm move)….  Legal or no?

Thanks in advance!

Zhuk where did you go???  are you going to finish your game with Cow?

Hi Bold  :-D

I conceded that game, officially.  As far as finishing it, I’d be down to play it out now if Cow wants too.

I took a break from A&A for about a year so I wasn’t able to compete in the league much during 2013.

No, you did not control it at the beginning of your turn.

Ike is correct

I know if you load a transport in the combat phase and then assault somewhere that you’re supposed to drop both units off and not hold one in the transport. But, do you if you load during the combat phase are you obligated to drop them off in this phase. That is aside from a situation where a seazone is successfully defended?

Evening axisandalliesplayer.
Yes, if you load in the Combat Round those units have to amphibiously assault( as long as the SZ is cleared). They cannot load and stay on board and unload in Non Combat.
If they cannot offload, because the sea battle was unsuccessful, they remain onboard.

Here’s a silly one our group is divided on, on the income tracker… which UK roundel should be used for UK Europe, and which one for UK Pacific?

Concentric circles for UK Europe
Union Jack is for UK Pacific

OK, Thanks.

Sure YG and I know I owe you an opinion on something else.  Haven’t forgotten.  Yet.  :-D

Russia is not at war with germany and italy while being at war with Japan.

-Can russian air units land on malaya after attacking naval? Even if Japan is not at war with the UK?

@Cow:

Yes they can.  There is no requirement that UK be at war with Japan.

UK is at war with Germany and Italy.  Germany and Italy are allied with Japan.  USSR is at war with Japan.  Therefore USSR and UK are allies because they are both at war with the Axis alliance

Cool. I brought air over to the pacific with Russia that is why and taking out a transport for free to land on malaya with a russian fighter seems legit.

On Japan turn one I build minor IC in Kiangsu, on Japan turn @ can I upgrade to Major IC, since it has a value of 3 or greater ?
