Thank you. Had not seen that and was unhappy to contradict Kriegkund, but could not see any difference with what I had said. Now I realise without a japanese DOW against UK/Anzac a Japanese player could have moved through an occupied sea hex on its way to a Dutch territory. Now it cannot. Though, of course, my way and knowing I was provoking war with UK/Anzac, I would have attacked them too and, therefore, not moved illegally through a sea zone . You have to love Japan.
Question about the built-in AA on bases & IC's
-
Can the anti-air defences on a base/IC be rendered inoperable if the base/IC is out of commission?
Example: I SBR my opponent’s airbase & cause four units of damage. If my ally decides to bomb the same airbase would he still be subject to AA fire?

Yes. you cannot render AA inoperable.

That doesn’t make sense. If the facility is not functional then why would it’s air defenses be in perfect operational order? Maybe it should be a houserule.
-
because your SBR is going after the industrial complex, not the layers of AA guns protecting the territory into and out of the target area. We’re not talking about one bavarian on a Flak88 here.

There are rules that list what happens when a facility becomes inoperable. losing their AA ability isn’t on the list, they still have it.
