@wittmann:

Yes they are, YG.
Hope your game went well.

Thanks Wittmann, and it’s next Saturday I play. Cheers

There’s no limit on factory builds right… if we run out, can we just substitute something as a factory token?

That is right, YG.

Quote from the FAQ:

Q. How many shots do antiaircraft artillery (AAA) units fire?
A. Each AAA unit in the territory may fire up to 3 shots, but each attacking air unit may be fired upon only once. In other words, the total number of air defense dice rolled is either 3 times the number of AAA units, or the number of attacking air units, whichever is the lesser. For example, 5 fighters attacking a territory containing 2 AAA units would have 5 shots fired against them while those same 5 fighters would have only 3 shots fired against them if there were only 1 defending AAA unit.

So how many AAA shots if 2 aircraft and 2 AAA?

My reading was 4 shots. One shot at each aircraft from each AAA.

Credulous pointed out that “the total number of air defense dice rolled is either 3 times the number of AAA units, or the number of attacking air units, whichever is the lesser” means only 2 shots. That would appear to be correct from a literal reading of the words, but seems counter-intuitive to me.

Our thanks to anyone who is able to clarify for us.

Thanks Krieghund! Panic need no longer Panic!

To be fair to Credulous his interpretation was a literal one. You may want to look at the clarity of the wording.

Ahhh!

I am incredulous!

Hey guys!

I played a game with my friends yesterday and we had an interesting situation which needs clarification for me. Japan was sucessfully invaded by USA and UK by Germany the round after, both without hope to retake the capital. Japan had by this time taken over India amongst other asian countries. My question is:

1 - Can Germany take control of India that is currently Japanese considering Japan doesn’t have a capital?
2 - Can Germany take control of original Japanese territories (Manchuria etc) that are not under enemy control.

Thanks in advance!

No, to both.
It is annoying having territories, but not be able to  collect income, but that is the rule.
Germany has to wait until those territories are captured by an Allied nation, then retake them, yo claim the income.

@Krieghund:

They revamped the website a couple of months ago, and apparently broke all of the FAQ links so that they now go to the main page.  I’ll fix them when I get a few minutes.

Though they still have not managed to link to the most recent FAQ in some cases … and some linked documents still are simply wrong.

@Krieghund and others,

Is this still the ‘latest’ version of the FAQ availible?

Are all the ‘issues’ that were brought up in the FAQ (and maybe even more) tackled in the Renegade Game Studios’ version?
