@ArtofWar1947 correct. You can co-inhabit sea zones but not on land.

Interview of @The_Good_Captain by Crockett36 has been posted to youtube - see the stickied interview thread within the league for a link.

The Good Captain is not an A&A.org league player, but is quite involved with A&A.org.

He is a real military man and WWII buff, and a huge fan of A&A Classic 2nd edition. You will be glad you watched the interview. Spoiler alert - he gives a brilliant explanation of the power and threat of the troop transport.

JDOW is on deck.

I found a 15 minute interview of Gargantua also - the link is provided in that stickied thread about crockett interviews.

I see other videos of players, including Gargantua, discussing A&A on the same site (that Gargantua is interviewed on).

Garg mentions the league and A&A.org a couple times.

Another titan has been interviewed by crockett36

Take in @JDOW , who is a back to back league champion 2017 and 2018, and #2 ELO over-all all time!!!

[gamerman01]

Uhhhh Holy cow.

JDOW tells all! He is debriefed! In a 1 hr+ interview, the professor can take you to school.

He seems to think he’s retired and competitive games of G40 take too much time away from other pursuits (hmm, that does make sense). So he just TELLS ALL! He’s not worried about you using his own knowledge and experience against him!

He still knows what he’s talking about and knows the board and situations by memory because he still watches games!
Take advantage! Enjoy!

Who’s interviewing next?

[Karl7]

@gamerman01

JDOW should come back.

Although I get the time thing. I can barely manage 1 game! LOL.

@crockett36

Sweet ! Didn’t know oz was still around :) Happy to see that he is :)

[crockett36]

@axis-dominion I would love to interview Adam.

[axis-dominion]

rules question:

so i know a plane can’t fly over a hostile neutral that hasn’t been attacked during combat movement, but can it fly back over during noncom if that neutral gets attacked in a different battle during the same combat round?

specifically, i am attacking both argentina and chile during this combat round, the bomber wants to fly around argentina (not over) during combat movement to get to chile, but needs to fly OVER argentina on its way back to brazil. is this legal??

[farmboy]

@axis-dominion my recollection is that as long as it has been attacked or is being attacked it can be flown over

yea that’s what i think too, it makes sense. just can’t fly over during the combat move if it’s not attacked yet.

[Adam514]

@axis-dominion I think it can’t rely on being able to fly over a neutral that hasn’t been attacked yet in terms of landing spot during NCM, even if that other neutral will be attacked in the same combat moves.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

@Adam514 planes are allowed to make moves that are potentially suicidal. They just need the possibility that there is a legal landing spot at the end of mobilization phase.

For example, you could send a single sub to clear the IJN and there theoretically is a chance the carriers would be freed to non-combat pick up fighters returning from the attack phase. Odds could be one in a quadrillion but the fighter plane still had a possibility of legal landing zone.

I don’t think your logic is consistent with this general principle.

[farmboy]

I need to correct my own statement. They can’t be flown over while they are being attacked. Flying over can only occur after. But that is not directly relevant to AD’s question. My guess though is that if there is a possibility of a landing zone, it would be allowed. But this situation might be treated differently than the one ABH describes so good to get confirmation from Gamer.
