Official Rules for AA Anyone?

Thank you for the post. Good luck with the game. Hope you have a few new converts.
Ask again if anything seems unclear.

A newbie facing the same dilemma. Thanks for letting me know that it is the second generation. But can you please elaborate how that come?

Addressing the FlaK guns issue, according to the rules;only one gun may fire, no matter how many guns you have in a territory.
On a personal note, my flaK guns never hit, so I think this rule should not exist. If you want to go to the expense, and  put 4 Flak Guns in a territory, then you should be able to fire them all!  :evil:
Just be sure to put in some ear plugs in before you do, because the noise will be deafening! :-o
No, not the little toy guns, from the crying of your opponent when you shoot down all their planes.  :-P

maybe you didn’t fully read his question, he asked if he was allowed to use the same fighters he used for naval combat, in land combat, durring the same turn. That isn’t allowed

Oh, I thought he meant continue against the subs. And yes, you are correct.

I think it was allowed in 2nd Ed,
or better: there must be one edition where you could do that.

So far we agree. Now I´m just waiting for Big Blocky to answer this thread and argue the contrary.

thanks. i knew it was legal, i was just looking for a specific example to disprove his logic.

@cystic:

You are reducing the number of dice rolls with number 2 for every ftr killed. Let me clarify, with
#1: You will always roll 12 dice. With #2 - say you shoot down one plane in territory 1 - the
most dice you will roll will be 10. If you shoot one in territory 1, then 1 in territory 2, the
most you will roll would be 9 dice - total. This means that overall, the probability of the 2nd
and 3rd (and 4th) hit might drop over time (as you lose planes and you decrease the number of
shots). Is my reasoning faulty here? Please point out if so.

I think you are correct in your logic. It doesn’t make sense to shoot at all the aircraft since
some of them might not have made it through each of the territories.

So, although aa gun fire is technically resolved during combat movement, it is more convenient to
resolve it during combat. Thus the extra “AA gun fires” step in the land combat sequence. If we
were to follow the rules exactly, you’d need to have multiple rounds of combat with each aa gun you
flew over during combat movement one gun at a time (order doesn’t matter). You need to track which
plane came from which territory as well because it is possible that you may choose to shoot down a
plane that defined a retreat territory. Whew!

Does anybody know how the CD-ROM version handles all this? (I don’t have a copy)
