aa-guns and factories ownership

[sigaam]

Germany invades egypt. Builds an industrial complex there later on, and after some time an aa-gun too.

Japan develops rockets and ships an aa-gun into egypt.

Now egypt has 2 aa guns, one german and one japanese, and one german industry.

Egypt is then liberated by US. what happens?

industry becomes british?
both aa-guns become british? or american?

So, us liberated. and lets say all the stuff there became british. Now japan again captures egypt. are all traces of german ownership of the aa-gun and the factory gone, so now japan owns everything? both the 2 aa's and the factory?

1.  Egypt starts off British.

2.  Germany conquers it and builds the IC and AA, which are German.

3.  Japan ships an AA gun to Egypt, which is Japanese in a German territory (use a national-control marker to indicate).

4.  US liberates Egypt.  Egypt, the IC, and both AA guns turn British.

5.  Japan retakes Egypt.  Egypt, the IC, and both AA guns turn Japanese.

* All of this assumes that all capitals are under the original nation's control - it gets trickier when they aren't.

Hey,

Yeah I would have to agree 100% with Out Side Lime on that.

[mateooo]

this issue sorta came up. OOB rules states that AA belong to a nation, but can be captured. If liberated, they are supposed to return to the control of the original owner. Now I have heard several other interpretations, one being that they are owned by whatever country owns the territory they are in (i think this is incorrect, as it would allow bizarre situations where AA guns continually shift ownership, allowing them to move multiple times.
Also, I dont think AA should transfer control to other allies if they are liberated, as this could encourage bizarre situations with Rockets, where one side allows their guns to be captured, in order to give them to the other ally with the tech. Personally, I see nothing wrong with the OOB rules, which states they remain under the control of the initial owner. Not sure what the LHTR are, and Im too lazy to look them up. Anyone know what the official interpretation is?

Hey,

Here is what I found in the LHTR 2006 updated rules:

"Usable by invading forces: If a territory is captured, any AA gun(s) there are also captured. Their new owner is the player owning the territory."

I would think that to be interpreted to mean that if US or Russia retook Egypt that because it would go back to the UK (depending on other circumstances [reguarding capital occupation]) that both AA guns would now also belong to the UK.

thanks for the clarifications josh.

we'll wait with the captured capitals and mobile industries until we get there

[sigaam]

agree with you losttribe, its where we are getting also. I was a little confused about "original owner" at one point also. thinking "original owner" could mean the one who build the industry in the first place..

[LT04]

Hey Sigaam,

"original Owner" I don't think would always apply to the builder of the IC. For example as Japan I have taken held and built an IC on India many times before the UK built one.

Maybe you were referring to your above mentioned scenario with UK's IC in Egypt, if so disregard above statement.

[Bunnies P Wrath]

I believe that AA guns revert to their ORIGINAL OWNER when liberated.

So if you had an AA gun that was produced by the Americans, that got captured by the Germans, if the UK captured the territory that that AA gun was in, control of the AA gun would go to the America player.

[LT04]

Yeah,

That would seen logical newpaintbrush. The only down fall would be is how do you remember if several rounds go by?

Yeah,

That would seen logical newpaintbrush. The only down fall would be is how do you remember if several rounds go by?

When an AA gun gets captured, I pop a control marker of the original owner's under that AA gun.

Hey New Paint Brush,

I have to hand it to you the right answer is always the easy answer in this game. I find my self and others caught up on simple technicalities. I don't know about you but its always refreshing to have an outside opinion on trivial things like this.

Thanks for your input,

Hey New Paint Brush,

I'm not so computer savvy, could you interpit "yw" and "XD"

Thank you

yw = "you're welcome".

XD is a smiley.  Try leaning your head so your left eye is on bottom and your right eye on top.

XD is a REALLY happy face.

T_T is a crying face.  (for that one, you just look right at it)
o.O is like "I'm looking at you with an eyebrow raised".
