AAG40 FAQ

@JimmyHat:

Are you kidding me?  72 pages on this thread!?  I’m sure someone has asked this question before, but I’m not drowning in that just to find out the answer.  Could someone please inform me as to what the Alpha+2 rules are?  Also where do they come from, are they being put out by WotC or by one of the online gaming groups?  Thank you!

Unfortunately, I don’t think the search within this thread option is working on the site, or a lot of people could search and find the answers to their questions without posting.

Yes, the Alpha2 rules are always kept current at Harris’ website - all the action on the development of 1940 is there.
www.harrisgamedesign.com - go to forums, then global, and you will see Alpha2 toward the top.  Complete setup and rules are right there on the first post.

@ghr2:

If a transport carried 2 ally units, can those unit off load on different territories both adjacent to the sea zone the transport is in on their nations’ turns? (like if france and uk both had an infantry on an american tranny and america moves them to sz 112, can the uk infantry go to norway on his turn, and the french one go to denmark on his)

Yes, because they’re on different turns.  There is no rule prohibiting the French to unload to a different territory on their turn.

That is how I see it too gamer, but another player didn’t see it that way, because the rule states that units from one transport must unload into the same territory.  Just so there can be no further confusion I want an official ruling from Krieg.

Thanks

Sure, I understand.  I’d put $100 on it, but I do understand - I didn’t write the rulebook.  yw

@Sime:

I have a question relating to the convoy zones.

If german subs are in seazone 98 (adjacent one French territory worth 1 IPC and two UK territories worth 1 IPC and 2 IPCs), he can use one sub to blockade Egypt (2IPCs), but does he need two more subs to blockade Syria (1IPC) and Trans Jordan (1IPC), or can a single sub blockade both 1IPC territories?

I’m assuming a single sub can’t blockade two separate territories (similar to transports not being able to drop infantry off in two separate territories) but just want to be sure.

Actually, the warships disrupt maximum amount each power’s turn.  So yes, if 2 or 3 different powers control territories bordering the convoy zone, they are all disrupted to the maximum by the same warship(s).  The conduct convoy disruption is a part of Phase 6:Collect income and is done each power’s turn. See page 22 in the Europe manual.

@Sime:

Thanks for the clarification, Gamerman

I had the same question, learning this 1940 game.

Anytime.

@Axisplaya:

Can an AAgun move on its NCM when it has shot a rocket to an IC on the same turn ?

NO - absolutely not.  Shoot or move, take your pick.

@Axisplaya:

Thanks. Just wanted to be sure.

One of the most annoying glitches at Game-table online was when you had rockets technology, and you had multiple AA’s in the same territory.  If you shot one, it wouldn’t let you move ANY of them, when you should be able to move all but one.  (Just a side note)  That was the “Revised” version of the game, but that rule has never changed since (AA50 or global) (in case you’re starting to doubt).
