AA gun question

Thanks so much

No.  Air units have different retreat rules.  They stay in the contested space until noncombat movement, then they move up to their remaining movement allowance (whatever movement was not used in combat movement) to a friendly territory or carrier.  Also, air units cannot establish a retreat route for land or sea units.

Thank you again, Krieghund!
I had the wrong meaning of ‘combat round’, now everything makes perfect sense.
Great job!

spring 1942 released August 2009 and thank you for your response and links. they are very helpful. So using the Atlantic sub on UK fleet rather than the undefended transport with  Norway fighter and bomber for the UK home fleet. I see it now. Guess i was foamin at the mouth on the unprotected trans.  thank you

thanks alot for the help.

:-)  Thanks, thats how i’ve been playing

Sorry for the newb questions!  This board is great!

@Lozmoid:

When retreating from a land combat, I know that all attacking land units must move to one adjacent space from which at least one of those units originally came. But what about the attacking air units? We played it that they may move to any friendly space (range permitting) during the Non-Combat Move. Were we correct in this? Or must they move to the same space as all the land units?

You played it correctly.

@Lozmoid:

Also, I take it that partial retreats are still allowed? i.e. all/some attacking air units may retreat from a land cobat after one round, leaving the attacking land units to continue the struggle… Is this correct also? Thank you again.

Partial retreats are only allowed in the case of amphibious assaults. Even then, all units that may retreat (non-amphibious units) must retreat at the same time.

i was thinking about that if they kept interceptors at the IC then they couldn’t use them on attack runs against you also, but yes, I believe that they choose between the attack and the SBR for defense as well.  Should they choose to intercept the SBR and then loose the territory, they would have the one move point to find a safe landing zone, such as with carriers being sunk and fighters needing to land…
