• In the rulebook, it states that only one AA gun can fire in a battle, does this also apply to strategic bombing raids? Because then it seems pointless to buy more AA guns, it makes them essentially worthless

    Yes, it also applies to strategic bombing.  You get no benefit from having more than one AA gun in the same territory.  The only reason to buy another one would be to move it to somewhere else.


  • You could always play with house rules. I personally like allowing two to fire per territory. Makes AA carry a bit more weight.

    this would be TOOO powerful….  in the rules a single AA Gun in a territory fires ONCE at EACH fighter, Then ONCE at EACH Bomber.  
    so if (some Land Units) 5 fighter and 2 bombers enter a territ …
    and the bombers are doing a raid while the fighters (and other land units) are in combat.
    that means the AA Gun 1st gets 5 shots at fighters, then 2 Shots at bombers… any ONE’s rolled are hits

    If you allowed 2 guns per territ to fire your doubling the chances to kill the planes, with Units that only cost 6 IPC’s.  It would be too easy to buy a bunch of AA guns and put them everywhere
