Hi everyone! I just started playing Axis & Allies (AA42) and had a great time completing my first full game. There were several rule and map questions that came up during our game (who is surprised?) that I am hoping the community can help with. I noticed others were asking their questions here and I did not find answers to mine. So here we go. Thanks in advance! :-)
Map Questions:
A) Does Eastern U.S border SZ 9?
B) Does Karelia border SZ 5?
Rule Questions:
C) Can a UK battleship assist in a US amphibious assault from the same SZ?
D) Can I build an Industrial Complex in a territory I captured on the same turn?
E) Can you confirm that AA guns only fire on the first round of combat, and not every round?
F) Can you confirm that submarines may not hit fighters and bombers?
G) Can you confirm that fighters and bombers may not hit submarines?
H) In a sea battle involving an aircraft carrier with fighters (landed on the carrier but now involved in combat, either attacking or defending), may a player choose the aircraft carrier as a casualty before choosing the fighters?
I) If the answer to H) is “Yes,” then what happens to the surviving fighters with no aircraft carrier to land on?
“Flavor” Questions:
J) One player was increasingly annoyed when defending infantry would shoot down planes and bombers. Am I missing a rule here, or are there any practical or historical explanations of infantry shooting down planes?
Thanks again :-)
