Well you aren’t the first player to arrive here having made mistakes with the rules by reading ‘regular’ A&A stuff into them. It is really important in BOTB and GCNL not to read any ‘regular’ A&A rules into the games. Most of the non strategy questions start by correcting a false premise. We had one player moving his attacking units into the hexes he wanted to attack for instance.
Air combat Rules

 Something strange about this rule. -Initiative : 
 When you win the initiative you place the aircrafts in 1st… But with this system it’s an advantage when placing in 2nd…no ? (If German is 2nd, he may avoid the Allied supremacy in placing his aircrafts in “empty hexes” (why the term “Win the initiative”…?)
 -Combat :
 I think, that isn’t very realistic that an aircraft may force a ground unit to retreat…?I recently play a solitaire playing (good) and the german win with 30 VP (Screens on boardgamegeek) Good game. 8-)

 Per the FAQ, when you win the air combat initiative, you choose who places air units first. It’s very realistic that an air attack can cause a ground unit to retreat. Bombing and strafing can make an area quite inhospitable. :wink:

 Per the FAQ, when you win the air combat initiative, you choose who places air units first. OK, thank’s for the FAQ. :wink:
