You’re right that this rule is ambigious in this rule book. But to me the intention of the game makers is very clear. That shows not from this rule book, but from all rule books after this version. For example in the rule book from 1943 2nd, They state specifically that all strategic bombing raids take place first. This resolves any argument about who pays the IPC’s to the bank, the attacker or the defender! Since they solved this in the next rule book, i think it is quite obvious what they intended and tried to correct.
Board question

Hello,
on the game board, there’s asmall, tan piece as a part of Spain. Is it possible for the Allies to land troops and/or planes there?
Thank you!
-
yes that is representative of Gibraltar and is British owned…

Thank you! It could turn out very useful…
-
Yes especially if the US needs a launching platform to land planes during an Afrikan Campaign… although most of my games Gibraltar is held by that 5-man Ad Hoc Team for the whole war…

Indeed, and also very useful to attack the German fleet- otherwise you almost have no opportunity to land your planes. Brings a new perspective to my game.
