Some questions on the 1940 editions

yeah, its my mistake. the rulebook says that the US gets their 40 ipc boost in the turn after a japanse attack on a allied territory. China is not included

Hi guys

Im pretty new to the scene and had thoughts of trying it out but need advice. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

@Rammstein:

Does this mean that ANZAC can “take” the territory with Fighters? Or it can simply land them there for defense and the territory remains Dutch? For that matter, must UK and ANZAC be at war with Japan in order to “take” the Dutch territories at all?

They must use land units to take the territory and they don’t have to be at war to do so

No.

Whenever a carrier is attacked, its planes are assumed to be launched and defending in the air.  This is not optional.  If the carrier is hit, the planes can’t land on the carrier and must find another place to land within one space or be lost.

The only way that planes can be trapped on board a damaged carrier is if there are planes belonging to an ally on an attacking carrier.  Since it’s not their turn, the planes remain on the carrier as cargo rather than participate in the battle.  If the carrier is damaged during the attack, these “guest” planes will be trapped (unable to take off) until the carrier is repaired. If the carrier is attacked while still damaged, the planes will remain cargo.  They will be unable to launch and defend, and will be lost if the carrier is sunk.

@Butcher:

In the rulebook, it says that China is allowed to attack Japanese forces in and occupy Burma and Kwangtung. Does this also mean that they can non-combat move infantry and/or the Flying Tigers into either territory? Thanks.

Yes.

@Frontovik:

but not sure you can place new units in those territories

You can mobilize new Chinese units in any territory that China controls.  China can only control Burma or Kwangtung if it captures them from Japan while India is held by Japan.

as far as who is John Galt, i am not sure.  But, he has his own boulevard here in Omaha.  :-D

I think it was obvious that it was a misprint on the map. There is only a little snippet, the second I saw it I knew that was not right.
