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.
AA ownership question
-
Say russia moves an AA to persia, persia is taken by japan, then persia is liberated by the UK.
Who owns the AA gun. What if the gun had been moved to Kazakh & the UK captured it there?
Is ownership specific to the territory or the capturing army? -
I believe in most cases the AA gun will belong to the power that captures it, regardless of original ownership. The one exception is an AA gun in a capital, that would go to original controlling power when their capital is liberated. I am curious who would own the gun if say Japan conquered Moscow, moved that AA out in subsequent turn, than moved in another gun from somewhere else to Russia, than Russia is liberated by UK, for example?
-
Whoever controls the territory controls the gun. I think. :?
-
I have always played “capture” ownership.
I keep a national marker under each AA gun. When it is caputred, I change the marker. When someone else captures it, i change the marker again.
An AA is a “gray” unit, like an IC. It beloings to whoever seizes it.
-
The IC belongs to whoever controls the territory doesn’t it?
-
As does the AA upon taking it.
But, unlike the IC, the AA can be moved, and on the second round of “control” the owner of the AA can move it elsewhere.
