Multiple rule questions

@Jonny5tyle No. Page 32 of the rulebook says that air units “can enter any space, except for impassable and Sahara Desert territories.” Which means they cannot attack them.

@Matt-Hyra thank you for the response and its pretty cool to get it straight from the lead designer!

I just listend to your interivew on Board Game Nation and you actually answered it there so I was just a bit early in my question. It makes sense that a plane finding a small scout car in the middle of desert would be diffcult. You mentioned that would be the case in the interveiw when you visited Morocco and traveled in the Sahara Desert.

My 13-year-old son and I play Axis and Allies and we have all the board games for A&A, except Anniversary. I’ll get that one eventually. We are loving North Africa A&A, so far. It’s really dynamic. Please keep the A&A theater campaigns coming!

Side note, my grandfather fought on the US side in North Africa and Italy.

@Jonny5tyle Thanks for the questions. Glad you like the game. Yes, more to come…

Hi

Can airplanes attack conveys of an opponent that doesn’t have anything to defend with? For example, can an American bomber attack a German convey with only infantry and tanks?

@Jonny5tyle Absolutely.

@Witt So do the two units escape after each round of combat? In other words, the planes roll their dice and after the round of combat two units escape just like in a navy battle?

@Jonny5tyle Yes, if there are any units left in the convoy after the first (and subsequent) round(s) of combat two units escape from the convoy.
This also applies when there is still a normal sea/air battle in progress. Every round that this combat lasts two convoy units escape. But as long as the defender still has combat units left, the units in the convoy cannot be taken as casuality.
