@riewnoiz Hi, we play here in Manchester, NH and now in Danvers, MA. Reach me at mikpel at hot mail dot com. Mainly play the ‘new’ Global 1942 which is like the Global 1940.

@carnevale762 Hi, I didn’t get your email. You can text also.

Hi, my pal Josh and I are in southern NH and gotten to a level where we want to find some knowledgeable opponents for AA1940 or the new AA1942 Global scenario by Larry Harris (uses the same map and most rules of 1940. We are willing to travel ! Thanks mikpel at hotmail dot com or text 603 660 three four four zero

Here is a unique take: while an amphibious assault takes place, the defender has a lone (and quite sad) transport in the sea zone. Can the attacker state one of his aircraft will hit the transport so the attacking battleship can bombard and support the amphibious assault? I don’t think the bombardment can take place in this case unless the ‘defending’ transport is totally ignored by air and sea. thanks

@fasthard CORRECTION: I was incorrect in my first interpretation: Here the Corrected answer please see the other replies and feedback: I am looking at page 11 of the 2nd edition of the European Rule Book for AA1940 under the topic of Unfriendly Neutrals.

@fasthard to continue on the example given above: if Germany attacks Yugo but retreats before conquering it, then the Yugo units can’t leave the territory BUT are allied. The Allies (for example, UK) could land a fighter there and then the units become controlled by the UK. Then, the next turn, if they survive (doubtful) the Yugo units are now UK and could leave the territory.

Anyone interested in AA 1940 in the NH area? I live in Manchester but can travel. Have all the game boards and some nice custom pieces, too. Mike

@krieghund But, can Japan scramble against US ships when it is ANZACs attack? That is, what if the US also put some surface warships in that sea zone in its non-combat turn- would Japan have to ‘fight’ them in the scramble or just the ANZAC ships? This is really complicated and might be not addressed by any current rules or errata. thanks (and this is mostly acedemic)

@tincanofthesea just getting back to this scenario: An empty US transport is in an Australian waters. On ANZAC’s turn, two ANZAC units (lets say INF and Arty) load up. On the US turn, non-combat, it sails to Carolina Islands that are occupied by some Japanese fighters. There are no Japanese naval assets in the waters around the Carolina Islands. There is no combat and no assault at this time. On ANZAC’s turn, the INF and Arty ‘assault’ or ‘unload’ and attack the Japanese forces on the Carolina Islands. Wow… this appears to be very unique.

Here is the Errata for Axis & Allies Pacific 1940, 2nd Edition, FAQ
November 24, 2014

@krieghund two separate questions. both were answered. I am good. 1. the USA can’t get the Dutch Island bonus’ unless the island is liberated from the Japanese. 2. In AA 1940 Pacific, there is a 30 point immediate one time special bonus to USA for a Japanese unprovoked attack upon the Allies. Thanks, ,

@the_good_captain sorry, right church… wrong pew ! two separate subjects as you correctly point out.

@krieghund Hi, I am being told by another forum board member today that a so called ‘new’ errata takes away the +30 rule for the unprovoked attack by the Japanese on the Allies. But, I can’t find that alluded to new errata. Any idea if there was discussion of taking that one time special immediate bonus from the USA? thx

@krieghund said in Submarine surprise attack:

A unit that takes a hit from a Surprise Strike is removed immediately and does not return fire.  The only exceptions are a battleship which is taking its first hit (as it not destroyed) and a sub which also gets a Surprise Strike (as it is firing at the same time).

And an Aircraft Carrier, too.

@krieghund If during the Amphib Assault ‘sea battle’ the defending forces kill all the attacking warships and only the defender is still present, can the loaded transports retreat or do they become casualties?

@marshmallowofwar ok, and the US Transport with the ANZACs; yes did follow those rules and sequence. So, the US transport can go into the ‘empty’ SZ off the Carolina Islands during its US non-combat even though the islands have an air base and enemy fighters stationed there? (during the ANZAC phase, they moved in cruisers and fighters into the SZ for the Amphib landing and won.)

AA 1940, Pacific: 1. If an US amphib assault of destroyer and 2 loaded transports hit the Carolina Islands, and the defender scrambles 3 fighters and kills the destroyer, can the transports retreat to a friendly adjacent sea zone (I know can’t unload) or are they killed?
2. If a US transport picks up 2 ANZAC infantry, can they goto an enemy island during non-combat phase? There are no enemy ships there but could scramble enemy fighters. During the ANZAC turn, they send in ANZAC combat ships and planes to support the landing of their troops from the US transports. Ok?

So, if the defending player scrambles 3 fighters and sinks the attacking single destroyer… then all that is left are the 2 transports loaded. At that time, can the transports retreat or are they sunk?
