AAG40 FAQ Alpha+.2

No, it shouldn’t. The escorts fire, and the interceptors are taken as casualties.
-
It means all attacking bombers, whether strategic or tactical. The defender has only interceptors (fighters) and no bombers of any kind.

Why is the U.S. barred from entering sz 121 in alpha+.2 when Greenland is a U.S. territory? I ask because if the U.S. puts a naval base on Greenland they are one turn from Scotland and Eire
-
oooooo I like that question. Aaron91 that’s a GOOD one.
-
That sea zone was omitted by mistake. It has been corrected.
-
Are Malta and Cyprus included as part of the original UK territories that are required to get the second National Objective for the UK?
-
Yes. They are Starting U.K. territories.
-
Thanks. That’s what I figured. I just wanted to make sure because the rule states: “Collect 5 IPCs per turn if the United Kingdom controls all of its original territories in North America, Africa, and Europe.” and not “…on the Europe board.”
I guess that Malta, Cyprus, and Iceland are considered part of Europe. So, the requirement would exclude Guyana and Trans Jordan from the Europe map, I take it.

Damn, and here I thought there might be a reason to invade Guayana.
Oh well… I’ll still search for one.

11. “…. Transports are not allowed to unload land units for an amphibious assault in a sea zone containing an enemy sub(s) belonging to a power with which they are at war unless at least one of his warships was also present in the sea zone at the end of the Combat Move phase.”
Does warships include aircraft carriers or submarines?

Did I read somewhere that Tactical Bombers can now SBR?
Also, they roll damage with 1D6 and Strategic Bombers roll damage with 1D6+2 ?
Please clarify.

in the Alpha+.2 Rules>#8
8. Strategic Bombing Raids procedure:
• Escorts fire @1, and interceptor casualties are immediately removed.
• Bombers fire @ 1 and interceptors fire @ 2. Remove bomber and interceptor casualties (escorts may be taken as casualties only after all bombers are eliminated).
• Surviving bombers are assigned a specific target (IC, airbase or naval base) if more than one type is in the territory.
• The target fires its AA defenses at the attacking aircraft - @1
• Surviving bombers attack their target, looking for the highest number possible.When bombing, each Strategic bomber rolls one die.
The number rolled +2 is the total number of hits the target will receive.
Gray chips are placed under the target for each hit received.Tactical bombers
Tactical Bombers can also conduct bombing raids.
They are limited to attacking only naval bases and airbases, however.
Other wise they follow the exact procedure as strategic bombers presented above.
When bombing they roll one die.
The number rolled is the number of hits the target receives.
Do not add to the dice roll when bombing with tactical bombers.I hope this answers your question.

Does warships include aircraft carriers or submarines?
Warships includes all sea units except transports.
Did I read somewhere that Tactical Bombers can now SBR?
Yes, but against bases only, not against ICs.
Also, they roll damage with 1D6 and Strategic Bombers roll damage with 1D6+2 ?
Yes.

Thanks Krieghund. So submarines ARE counted as warships as well. I assume this is the case with that Soviet NO for controlling Archangel and having no Axis warships in SZ 125. Germany can put a sub in SZ 125 and void that NO for Russia, right?
-
I could have sworn Aircraft Carriers lost their defensive ability in 1940. (Thought I read that in the rules, dont have my books atm since I’m snowed in and the temp is hitting -20 degrees Fahrenheit with wind chill so I don’t want to try and get them anyway) The Battlemap, of course, lists them with defense = 2.
Stupid question, I know, but I am working under the assumption they have defense value 2, unless told otherwise here. And if they have no defense, does that mean an unprotected carrier is auto-sunk by an attacking submarine?
-
Carriers have no attack value. Their defense value is 2.
-
Kay, I thought so, but got confused between all the readings.

Can Japan make a major industrial on Kiangsu? etc? Japan starts the game with them and the map is yellower than the rest of china. Rules not clear.

@Cow:

They have the Chinese roundel on them, which leads me to believe that they are liberated as if a Chinese territory. This implies that Japan cannot build a Major complex on them.
-
Correct.
-
So subs as a warship negect the Italian NO in the Med?
And… when doing SBR. It says escorts fire, then interceptors and bombers fire.
Does bombers fire - INCLUDE tactical and strategic bombers?
