Axis & Allies Revised FAQ

i don’t understand this example

Is antiaircraft fire targeted against specific aircraft?
A. Yes. In practice, you can roll a handful of dice against all enemy fighters, then roll another handful
against all enemy bombers. The reason for this rule is so that bombers will be forced to take hits from
AA guns.

Is this when you do a strategic bombing?

Say you attack a territory with 2 fighters and 2 bombers. In that case the AA-gun rolls twice against the fighters and twice against the bombers. Let’s assume 1 hit against the fighters and 1 hit against the bombers. The attacker has to choose a fighter and a bomber.

If that rule wasn’t there you might have wanted to roll 4 rolls against all four planes. In case of two hits the attacker would have possibly chosen two fighters as casualties. That is why the above clarification has been included.

but a single cannon AA can only fire up to 3 times, right?.
Guess you can’t shoot 4 shots?

This forum category - as well as the FAQ-excerpt your question was about - is dedicated to the Revised edition. In Revised an AA-gun shoots one shot at every attacking plane. The rule you are referring to is from newer games, for example 1942 2nd edition or Europe/Pacific/Global 1940 2nd edition.

What actually is the game version/edition you are interested in?

currently we play global

but I also play Europe and the Pacific

So these frequently Faqs questions would not be worth me?

@lineker10365

As I said this forum category is about the “Revised Edition”, an edition published in 2004.

Just look at the headline of this topic and of this forum category.

For your games we have other forum categories:
Look at:

and the subcategories:

There you will find FAQ-sheets addressing the respective games.

Two questions about Revised…do subs block ship movement? and do transports have a defense value?

@captainwalker

Submarines block movement as long as they are not submerged.
Transports defend at 1.
