Rules of spring 1942 2. Ed (in Danish)

No; not in that case.

@jgarcianegron:

See “how the carriers fight” in the manual. Carefully study that.

@rulebook:

Aircraft Carriers
Although they don’t have an attack value and aren’t
represented on the battle strip, carriers can still participate
in an attack and can take hits, as long at least 1 unit with
an attack value attacks along with them. Any fighters or
tactical bombers on an aircraft carrier launch before the
carrier moves and move independently of the carrier.
These air units can make a combat move from the carrier’s
initial sea zone, or they can remain in that sea zone until
the Noncombat Move phase.

They need to get back to the SZ (if on a Carrier) or to a territory. You count each move.

Remember Air units don’t have to go back to from where they came. They can land on any territory you owned at the beginning of your turn or to another Carrier (if there is space).

thank you for the reply.

i think that if the AA gun was used in combat,
i.e. if the attacker used aircraft, that would be a definite no non combat move, however, if the the AA gun can be moved ( which i doubt ) it would have to be when there are no aircraft with the attacking force,

because the AA gun is not controlled at the start of the attackers combat move, the AA gun is not moveable by the attacking player that captured the territory

But to not fight, the German units (usign the example above) have to leave in their COMBAT movement phase.  That is a key point…

You might find someone a bit better informed at one of the A&A clubs.

Page 16 of the second edition rules, third column, second to last bullet:
“Your Transport can carry units of your alliance. These units must board on your ally’s turn, they must move on your turn, and they must be unloaded on your ally’s next turn.”
