@CentralCommando @SuperbattleshipYamato Thank you for explaining. I feel they should cost 4 it is more realistic. But for 3 and a 2 or less not bad at all if the opponent has a ton of aircraft. They are also good for defending Malta.
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.
