AA50 Rules Errata and Q+A

wow  :-o thx for clarification.  :-)

I guess I should elaborate on this further.  Any time a territory changes hands, whether captured or liberated, any ICs and AA guns in that territory change ownership to the new owner of the territory.

Of course, there is one exception.  The situation involves when your capital is held by the enemy and your ally captures one of your former territories from the enemy rather than liberating it because of this.  When your capital is liberated, you get the territory back from your ally, but he/she gets to keep any AA guns in it.

@Krieghund:

The UK gets the AA gun, unless its capital is held by the enemy, in which case the USSR gets both the territory and the AA gun (at least temporarily).

This is what I read from the rulebook.

@Krieghund:

Any time a territory changes hands, whether captured or liberated, any ICs and AA guns in that territory change ownership to the new owner of the territory.

This is what confuses me a bit.
Just to clarify: “New owner” in the given example (Russia recaptures=liberates PER from Germany) means “original controller”=Britain.
So in the second when Russia liberates Persia for Britain ownership switches to Britain.
Am I right?

Yes.

when placing newly purchased ships, they can be placed in any sea zone adjacent to your IC, correct?

Yes.

Another question:
One of the SU’s NO is: “Gain 5 IPC if no Allied forces are present in a territory controlled by the SU and if the Soviets control Archangel.”

Let us consider a scenario, in which the SU controlls and holds only Russia and Archangel. All other soviet territories are captured by Axis powers.

The SU will still gain 5 IPC because no Allied forces are present in one of the two territories controlled by the SU.

Am I right?

Yes.

if the chineese capture an japanese AA can they control it? ( cuz only infantry…)

Yes.

thx for your patience krieghund.  now you only need to tell me how to add karma  :evil:

You gain that ability after you reach 100 posts.  At that point you will be able to applaud and smite people.

Sounds like 5 more IPCs for the Axis to me!

I’ll ask a followup to this one.  When it says “controlled by the soviet union” that means currently controlled, not “originally” controlled, right?  If russia controls norway, and the UK lands there, it’s bye-bye bonus, correct?

Correct.

ok, i got one more :)

Lets say a japanese AC+2FTR are in Iwo Jima seazone. american combat move :

4 subs attack AC
2TN 2inf  2arm land Iwo Jima.

since naval battle must be conducted first, lets assume AC sunk. planes now must land on iwo jima. so they get to defend against amphibious invasion right?

edit:  argh i just realized the planes would sink the TN before they could assault… so the 2 TN would need surface battleships… which would mean that the fighters would be destroyed…

For an island with only 1 sea zone surrounding it, that’s correct, but for something like Algeria, say that America has a carrier in sz 12 and Germany attacks it with a sub and destroys it.  Germany or Italy already controls Gibraltar.  Also, the German Mediteranean transport does an amphibious assault on the American-controlled Algeria and wins the battle.  I assume that the fighters can’t participate in both battles, so because they have no place to land, they would be destroyed.  Now the question would be, if you do the naval battle first, can the fighters land on Algeria before the amphibious assault?  I assume not.

I think the rulebook helps out here:

First of all in an amphib. assault sea combat occurs before land combat (p17).
Second: when a carrier is attacked, its fighters are considered to be defending in the air (p28).
Third: a fighter based on a defending carrier that is destroyed in combat must try to land … this movement occurs after all of the attacker’s combats have been resolved and before the attacker’s NCM phase begins (p27).

HTH :-)

Hmmm.  My work here may be done.  :wink:

A question:

• Improved Industry allows you build two more guys in a IC

Can you build a IC in a zero value territory (Gibraltar, Solomon) if you have Improved Industry and then build 2 guys each round in it?

There is a rule that says you cannot buy ICs in a zero-value territory. I think then the answer to my question should be NO, but since the rule doesn’t says nothing about improved industry, I want to be totally sure

Well, maybe not completely done.

Technology developments don’t override other rules unless they specifically say that they do, so having Improved Factory Production doesn’t allow you to build ICs in zero-IPC territories.
