AA50 Rules Errata

[Krieghund]

Hmmm.  My work here may be done.

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

[Krieghund]

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.

i dare you to smite me for hypocrisy

[ElCapitan]

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...

I would think that during sea combat the planes would defend but their hits can only go against transport.  Then they would land on the island.  IMHO this amphibious plan not a good idea and a waste.  The attacking sub can only sink the AC and the Transport and their cargo would be automatically sunk by the planes on the AC.

Can the Chinese fighter attack ships within range?  The rules talk about occupation of land territories but I don't see anything about seazones.

no, i believe th FAQ says that the chinese fig can never leave chinese territories even if it returns in the same turn.

If an AC is sunk how many moves do the planes get to find friendly territory?

One territory.

[atarihuana]

depends who is attacking/defending.

10 subs attack 1 AC + 2 ftr  > AC sunk > fighters 1 move to land

AC + 2 ftr attack   DD  >  AC/ DD sunk  > fighters  get normal non combat move

[Krieghund]

If the carrier and fighters are defending, they get to move one space after all combats are completed.  If they are attacking, they get their remaining movement allowance in noncombat movement, as normal.

Krieghund--there are too many posts to filter through to see if this has already been asked so sorry for a repeat.

Scenario: Japan builds a factory on Manchuria. The U.S captures the factory and holds it. Can they--the US-- now build units there? Does China still get the territory bonus towards its infantry count plus the ability to place men on Manchuria? thx in advance

The US would not be capturing the territory.  They would liberate it.  The territory would count for its infantry allowance.  Since China doesn't collect IPC they wouldn't be able to use the factory.  Factories cannot be destroyed so it would collect dust untill Germany or Japan retake the territory.  Germany would then only be able to use the factory if Japan island would be in Allies hand.  One Japan would be liberated the factory would return to Japan control.

You're mostly right, ElCapitan.  However, if Germany or Italy captured the territory from China, they would be able to use the IC normally.  It's no different from Japan taking India and building an IC there, then the UK recapturing it, then Germany taking it.  It doesn't matter who built the IC, only who controls the territory.

Thank you.  I thought since Japan was the original owner of the teritory (taken from China before the start of the scenario, that some of the same rules for the IC in Karelia for Allies applied.
