Anti aircraft gun

thanks for the reply

@Craig:

@Cmdr:

I am too.  But it’s nice to read some of the writer’s REASONS they made the changes.  Though, since Larry did sign off on them, I never questioned their validity - especially since AAMC, FoE, DAAK and AA.org have all adopted them as the primary rule set.

Larry did more that just sign off on the LHTR.  He has always been actively engaged in the discussions on all the topics.

Changes have been made because he wanted them made, but he has also accepted the arguments of others as valid for other changes.  It has been a very fruitful exchange of thoughts and ideas.

I didn’t mean to imply that he took a passive role in the creation of the rules. (ie just signing them.)  I mean that he agreed to the rules BY signing them.  I’m sure he argued his case, looked at the evidence, and made decisions as well.

:-)
If the second part of your question was, " If my AA gun defended in the combat phase can I move it on my (next) turn", then the answer is, of course you can.
Personally, I’d like to see AA guns be able to move in the combat phase, and attack defending aircraft. It would be very realistic to actual combat, and I don’t think that it would change the game that much, they rarely hit anything anyway. Well mine don’t that’s for sure  :roll:
  Remember, the more you play/practice something, the better yu will get at it.  :lol:
So, play often, and play well.
  See you around the game room. :wink:

ugh……tolerance camp.

some people are just intolerant of others wishing to not tolerate something they perceive as wrong or bad.

PC is mind slavery.  “NO! you cant think or say that!”  “Punish them!”

even though i agree nazi’s were just a sect of germans.  not all of them.

The above posters are correct, the AA cannot be moved in the same turn it is captured.

Another “rule rationalization” reason for it:
No land units are permitted to retreat from a combat zone after the battle is over.

Oh, okay, that makes a bit more sense.  I guess I haven’t looked at the new rules in a while, so that’s why I thought the way I did.

Yes, the 3rd fighter which he forgot to mention where it came from, came from Africa (Libya I beleive now). my plan was to land that one in Western Europe.

all the fighters had a place to move. so it was no problem.

But it IS a simplification in terms of game mechanics.  And I recently LOST an argument where “game mechanics” won out over logic (see the topic Multinational Units on Attack).

Movement of each type occurs all at one time;  all combat movement occurs at once, all non-combat movement occurs after that, THEN the place units phase, then collecct income.  There is no non-combat movement of FIGs after unit placement, which the old rule REQUIRES.  That is the “simplification.”
