Rule Clarification - Suiciding fighters due to insufficient aircraft carriers

Cruisers don’t have any AAA-capabilities. What are you referring to?

The Carrier and the Fighter (defending in the air) each have a shot against the attackers according to their respective defense value (2 and 4).

The point of the Russians in A&A is to get the German player to say “any more victories like this and we’ll lose the war!”

You can put units out in any “eligible spaces you have controlled since the start of your turn.” (Rules P 22) It doesn’t matter what original plans you had for the carrier.

All right got it. Thank you guys :)

No. Only in the territory being attacked. Meant to say, sorry.

@Cow:

well yeah, the beta for trip a takes awhile, because of new rules etc. takes time.

Actually I heard it’s already playable, the only issues remaining are graphic and some missing territory connections.

I think it is called… v5?

@Canuck12:

Thanks for the hard work DJ! I read the forums but love the articles too ;)

Any official word yet on whether Honalulu is a VC or not? Book says no, map says yes. I have heard 2 different stories now about which to trust.

Ditto!  I’m hoping there is at least an official word on this before the game arrives, preferably a FAQ. :)

@Imperious:

He can play poker with 1941. His point is are the two games just different versions 41 and 42 of the same game, same rules?

The games are not compatible and are stand alone games with no relation.

I understood that he is expecting that the new ruleset would be the same for 1942 2nd Ed.

Anyways, he can play poker or he can take the 1941 ruleset and try it on Spring 1942 2nd Edition. I’ve done it myself with Spring 1942 1st Ed. :) did it shorten the game?

What shortens the game on 1941 is the smaller map and the reduced income. The changes in game play (no strat bombing, etc.) have no almost no effect on the speed of play.
