I noticed that on the FEC reference sheet that units made available through tech can’t be built there, however I did not notice the same restriction on Anzac’s. Anzac has its own home country, I’ve been taking that as they may move militia and upgrade factories but what I was wondering was whether they may build units made available through the Commonwealth’s tech since it would be in home country. And also, if Anzac upgraded their factory to a major, would that give the Commonwealth an additional tech roll as well? As always, any help or clarification would be appreciated, thanks.

@Noneshallpass
A strong tech indeed. I’m assuming that the all cycles part would also apply to ships that can be built in 1 turn. So destroyers would cost 6 and subs 5?

@GeneralHandGrenade
Thank u sir, I appreciate it.

I was curious whether the air transport is only at risk on the 1st round of battle during an airborne assault. It’s clear from the rulebook that if the air transport is taken as a casualty on the 1st round that the airborne unit is also destroyed, but what I’m not clear on is if the air transport essentially “leaves” after the 1st round to fly back home, and if it doesn’t and still remains in the battle, can it then be taken as a casualty? Or does it function similarly to how it does in non airborne assault battles (chosen last as a casualty)?

I suppose my confusion comes from my assumption of an air transport(or strategic bomber) in an airborne assault heading back to friendly territory after dropping off it’s cargo instead of sticking around to get shot down. Also there is minimal info about airborne assaults in the v3 rules. Any help or info would be awesome. Thank you.

Yes thank u sir.

My opponent believes that the SS unit would not be considered an infantry class unit as they become available when advanced mechanized infantry is researched and the fact that they can blitz. He thinks they would be closer to a mech infantry, and therefore not able to fill out an infranty slot on a transport or be buffed by artillery, similar to motorized infantry and mechanized infantry, as they are vehicle class units. I’m inclined to agree with this logic except for the classification on the German reference sheet for them as specialist infantry. Seeing as motorized and mech also have infantry in their name though and are not considered infantry class units, I was left seeking further clarification once again. Any help or info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Since Anti Aircraft Artillery is a land unit, the fortification rules would seem to bring them to hitting on 5s, my opponent seems to think. I’m hoping that the fortification would not give plus 2 to the AA guns seeing as the planes would be attacking from above and not across a land border, and not sure how a fortification would allow the AA guns to hit planes more accurately. Additionally this seems as if it could be very lethal to planes for just a 4 IPP unit. However I could not find anything in the rules suggesting anything otherwise, seeing as they are a land unit firing on the 1st round. Was hoping I could get some clarification on this, as always any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I was curious about how and when exactly this works. The same for carpet bombing. Would this happen before combat movement or would it happen simultaneously? For example is the attrition attack/carpet bombing done first and then the combat movement is made or does one have to make all their combat moves including these special type of attacks at the same time. What if a player intends to combat move units into a land zone but also wants to conduct an attrition attack or carpet bombing on the units in the land zone? Couldn’t find anything in the rules to clarify. Any info or help would be appreciated, thanks.

Thank u sir, and do AA guns have a cap on shots they get on aircraft like in aa40? Like they can only get as many shots as there are aircraft. I didn’t think so but wanted to check.

I’ve been trying to figure out a good counter for these, especially on the eastern front when the front line starts getting closer to moscow. An air transport in Romania can make a landing in transcaucasia to get turkey to align or moscow. If you add the luftwaffe it makes it difficult to mount an effective defense. Any thoughts on an effective counter to these? Permanent garrison and aa guns are the best I can come up with. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
