Yeah, it wasn’t rules questions, but it wasn’t “mindless chatter”.

Gamerman, where do you think would be a good place to post the topic in question?

Um, I’d go with General Discussion, since it’s not about a specific version of A&A.

Hey Jimmy most of us appreciate your sentiments - that you don’t want other stuff cluttering up the FAQ thread.  Just ask a moderator to go through the thread and delete posts that have nothing to do with answering FAQ questions.  It can be cleaned up by a moderator, and then all of us don’t have to be super careful to never post anything non-FAQ related.

I will do so upon the request of both Krieghund and Gamerman as they are the main respondants of the thread.

Majors build 10, and Minors build 3 regardless of the IPC value of the territory it is on. Is that correct?

@Young:

Yes. But you can only build a Major on a territory with an IPC value of 3 or more.

and Majors can only be built on original territories 3IPC or more, and a minor on any you control 2IPC or more. I got confused last weekend with AA50thAE rules. So…. IPC territory value has nothing to do with IC placements or SBR damage… just convoy disruption damage. Got it.

The following should be deleted when/if this topic is ever cleaned.

BTW I do agree that it should be cleaned and limited to only interesting questions, organised on a few pages by categories. Because everytime I have tried to find info on this thread it was simply impossible…

I have always asked myself the following question:

Can units move into freshly conquered territories in NCM?

Namely, is it legal to bring in units to a zone that was just conquered, or do we need to move these units at the same time as the fighting units?

I myself have decided to print out the entire thread and highlight all the important references. I’m going to use different coloured highlighters to organize all the relevant questions and answers.

Infantry, Mech, Artillery, Armor and AA Guns can NCM into territory you just took from the enemy.

pretty much anything but air units? I have never done that.

I had the understanding that Mechs could only blitz in the company of a Tank which would mean your example of splitting the units into the second territory would not be allowed.

Since, in that example, Egypt was friendly territory at the time, the movement is not considered blitzing. Blitzing is moving into a hostile space before entering a second.

To any gamers out there please assit. In Alpha 2 Strategic Bombing. Fighter escorts travelling with the Bombers fire at 1 against interceptors which fire at 2. The rules state remove interceptor casualties immediately. Does this mean that interceptors that are shot down by escorts cannot shoot at the bombers?

Example: Germany has 3 SMB with 6 fighter escorts against 6 UK fighter interceptors. The escorts fire at 1 and achieve 1 hit. Does this mean only 5 interceptors can fire at the German Bombers or can six still fire? If 6 can still fire why do the rules state remove the interceptors immediately?

Please clarify

In this example you would remove 1 UK fighter and then  fire @2 with the remaining 5 fighters. The bombers then also get to fire at the interceptors @ 1. Remove casualties. Any surviving bombers get fired at by AAGuns then any surviving bombers after that get to roll to bomb IC NB or AB.
Note: the bombers and interceptors fire at the same time like any other battle. Escorts are like subs they get that first strike before anyone else. Also if UK got say 5 hits with their interceptors you would remove the 3 bombers  first and the remaining 2 would be taken on the escorts.

Hello; question on USA NCM. If USA and Japan are not at war until USA has DOW on turn 3, can USA NCM on turn 3 end in an adjacent sea zone to an allied power – eg USA boats in z37 around Malaysia if still UK owned? Can USA units land on Allied territory at end of NCM turn 3 under same conditions?

Thanks!

@TheDefinitiveS:

The bombers then also get to fire at the interceptors @ 1.

Are you sure about that?
