It went from Fighter to Destroyer? I can’t remember what it said under your name before.

Thank you all for the clarification!

Spring 1942 - AA Gun Movement Question
Spring 1942:
Can an AA Gun be moved (during Noncombat Movement) into a territory that was successfully taken this turn (during Combat)? How about other land units that did not take part in the Combat?
Example: Russia, Round 1. Russia invades and captures “West Russia” during Combat. Now it is Noncombat. Can the “Russia” (or “Caucasus”) AA Gun be moved into “West Russia”? Can Infantry in “Russia” that did not fight in the Combat phase be moved into “West Russia”?
The manual does not specify yea or nay. A review of forum posts re: other versions (Revised, Global) and some of the strategy articles suggests that the answer is yes.
Thanks for the help!

Played another AA title? Then you might be confused when you play this one.
I tried this game today. My friend and I were drawn in by the promise of a 2-3 hour game. We thought we might beat through a game of this plus something else (D-Day or Battle of the Bulge) in the same afternoon rather than only getting through half a game of Global or Spring 1942. Neither of us had played this title before and it looked promising.
Unfortunately I think our mutual experience with other Axis and Allies titles hurt us for this game. The rules are so different - the way the turns go back and forth every step, the battle box system for dice, the way you do not roll combat to completion but merely do one pass each round leaving survivors from each faction in the same square - that we had to spend a LOT of time reading and re-reading the manual. We set out for a leisurely game, but it ended up taking nearly six hours to get everything completed. We were constantly having to dig back through the manual and errata looking for answers to questions we thought we knew (based on other titles), only to find out that we were completely wrong in our assumptions. Needless to say we didn’t get through two different games today.
I’m disappointed in this one. So is my friend. We don’t get a lot of dates on the calendar for face to face games any more, and now I’m thinking we should have done Spring 1942 or one of the 1940 titles instead.
