• I’ve got a question about the rules for Industrial Complexes in combat for A&A 1942 Second Edition:

    I know that if an industrial complex is attacked in a strategic bombing mission it can fire it’s AA guns at the bombers. BUT, what if a territory the IC is in is invaded by ground and air units, can the IC fire it’s AA guns vs. the planes at the beginning of the attack…or can it only fire against strategic bombing attacks?

  • @Brian1234 As your question is neither about the Website nor the Forum itself but about a specific game edition, I have moved your topic to the respective forum category.

    The answer to your question is: The IC built-in AA fires against strategic bombing raids only.

    See the unit characteristics on page 23 of the rulebook. Here it says:

    “Cannot Attack, Defend, or Move: An industrial complex cannot attack, defend, or move. It cannot be transported. It is not placed on the battle strip.”

    and later:

    "Air Defense: Industrial complexes can defend against a strategic bombing raid. Before bombers can attack a targeted industrial complex, they will be fired on by the built-in air defenses of the industrial complex. "

    Welcome to the forum.


  • @Panther Thank you for your response…that helps a lot!
