You’re right that this rule is ambigious in this rule book. But to me the intention of the game makers is very clear. That shows not from this rule book, but from all rule books after this version. For example in the rule book from 1943 2nd, They state specifically that all strategic bombing raids take place first. This resolves any argument about who pays the IPC’s to the bank, the attacker or the defender! Since they solved this in the next rule book, i think it is quite obvious what they intended and tried to correct.
Anti Aircraft Ownership question
-
I play game in league and question about who own Anti Aircraft gun.
Germany have Anti Aircraft and Infantry in Karelia S.S.R. at end of Germany turn. United Kingdom attack Karelia S.S.R. and take from Germany putting Karelia S.S.R. under Russia control.
Is Anti Aircraft then control by Russia as owner of Karelia S.S.R. or by United Kingdom as winner of combat that take Anti Aircraft from Germany? I find old topic here that look like Russia own Anti Aircraft after fight but opponent in game not agree.

Liberated AAs become the color of the territory. So if the british liberate a soviet territory with an aa, the aa becomes soviet.

Yes, it is the territory owner that gets it.
In your example, the AA goes to the Soviets.A long time ago, we played this totally incorrect. I think the AA went to the original owner … :roll:
Like if the IND AA had walked up to CAU, and the territory then was liberated by Americans, the AA became British. :-)

The FAQ was recently amended on Larry Harris’ site to remove all ambiguity on this point. It now reads as follows:
Q. If I liberate a friendly power’s territory, what happens to the antiaircraft guns and industrial complexes there?
A. They are returned to the control of the original controller of the territory.
