Hi, a few of us AA 1940 players are getting together Saturday 23 NOV from 11am to late afternoon. Depending on how many interested we will decide which version to play. New players can learn how to play by partnering with more experienced ones. Will advise of location once you contact me: mikpel@hotmail.com Mike

@krieghund But, can Japan scramble against US ships when it is ANZACs attack? That is, what if the US also put some surface warships in that sea zone in its non-combat turn- would Japan have to ‘fight’ them in the scramble or just the ANZAC ships? This is really complicated and might be not addressed by any current rules or errata. thanks (and this is mostly acedemic)

@tincanofthesea just getting back to this scenario: An empty US transport is in an Australian waters. On ANZAC’s turn, two ANZAC units (lets say INF and Arty) load up. On the US turn, non-combat, it sails to Carolina Islands that are occupied by some Japanese fighters. There are no Japanese naval assets in the waters around the Carolina Islands. There is no combat and no assault at this time. On ANZAC’s turn, the INF and Arty ‘assault’ or ‘unload’ and attack the Japanese forces on the Carolina Islands. Wow… this appears to be very unique.

Here is the Errata for Axis & Allies Pacific 1940, 2nd Edition, FAQ
November 24, 2014

@krieghund two separate questions. both were answered. I am good. 1. the USA can’t get the Dutch Island bonus’ unless the island is liberated from the Japanese. 2. In AA 1940 Pacific, there is a 30 point immediate one time special bonus to USA for a Japanese unprovoked attack upon the Allies. Thanks, ,

@the_good_captain sorry, right church… wrong pew ! two separate subjects as you correctly point out.

@krieghund Hi, I am being told by another forum board member today that a so called ‘new’ errata takes away the +30 rule for the unprovoked attack by the Japanese on the Allies. But, I can’t find that alluded to new errata. Any idea if there was discussion of taking that one time special immediate bonus from the USA? thx

@krieghund said in Submarine surprise attack:

A unit that takes a hit from a Surprise Strike is removed immediately and does not return fire.  The only exceptions are a battleship which is taking its first hit (as it not destroyed) and a sub which also gets a Surprise Strike (as it is firing at the same time).

And an Aircraft Carrier, too.

@krieghund If during the Amphib Assault ‘sea battle’ the defending forces kill all the attacking warships and only the defender is still present, can the loaded transports retreat or do they become casualties?

@marshmallowofwar ok, and the US Transport with the ANZACs; yes did follow those rules and sequence. So, the US transport can go into the ‘empty’ SZ off the Carolina Islands during its US non-combat even though the islands have an air base and enemy fighters stationed there? (during the ANZAC phase, they moved in cruisers and fighters into the SZ for the Amphib landing and won.)
