AAG40 FAQ

@Krieghund:

The fighter is defending in the air, so it will not be trapped.  In fact, it will not be able to land and must find another landing spot within one space or be lost.

The only way that a plane can be trapped on a carrier is if the carrier is attacking and the plane belongs to an ally.  Since it is not the ally’s turn, the plane remains on the carrier as cargo during the attack, and will be trapped if the carrier is damaged.  In such a case, if the carrier is attacked while still damaged, the trapped plane will be unable to leave the ship, and thus unable to participate in the battle.  It will be lost if the carrier is sunk.

So the fighter must land somewhere or it will be lost?

@13thguardsriflediv:

When Japan is not at War
1.Collect 10 IPCs each turn that Japan is not at war with the United States and has not invaded French Indo-China or made an unprovoked declaration of war against United Kingdom/ANZAC.

“When Japan is not at war”… declaring war on anyone eliminates ‘being not at war’.

Obviously the title here is in error.  It should say “When Japan is not at War with the Western Allies”, as is indicated in the text.  Otherwise, Japan would never collect this NO, as it begins the game at war with China, and so is never “not at war”.

@Stefano1189:

Yes.

A few questions since I just got both games and started playing global:
1. Does France continue to draw IPCs after Paris falls? I know they give up their funds from the fall of Paris, but I thought I read that they continue to draw for territory still under French control.
2. Before Paris is recaptured, does liberated French territory IPC go to the liberator or France?
3. Since AB give one extra movement to planes: on an Italian turn attacking a British CV, can a fighter or tac bomber in SZ 95 retreat and land in Malta w/ AB (SZ96)?
4. I assume AB and NB give one extra movement to air/naval unit regardless of which end of the movement it exists. For example, moving from open water to the NB at Hawaii, can ships move 3 spaces?

Thanks. Merry Christmas! God bless the Soldiers who are away from home this season.

1. No, if your capital has been captured, you skip the collect income phase
2. The territory goes to the liberator, who will collect its ipcs if the liberator’s capital is still held
3. No; you have to START at an airbase, not end at one, to get the +1 movement
4. No; you must BEGIN at the base to get the movement bonus

Me and my dad got the global games for X-mas and he is pissed about something, can the us and russia build and collect ipc’s while not at war?!

Not unless the US is at war

Another question.  German sub is off of the coast of Canada, I understand that this sea one is fair game.  Please verify, thanks.  US not at war, this is its first turn, thanks.

What exactly is your question?

i’m gonna guess he means the sea zone and the convoy.

If so; yes you can disrupt the convoy there (and/or attack the UK fleet there)

if not, i have no idea about the question too :)

Maybe he’s asking if the US can move into that zone? If so, the answer is yes

Do the true neutrals still oopersate the same way?

ie invading one makes all of the other pro-whatever side did not initiate the attack.

You mean in the alpha setups? Yes.

Yes for the alpha setups

Hi people
I am just about to start my first global game of A&A.
my first question and I am sure more will follow is.
Do you follow the global rules at the back of the Europe booklet only or also other national objectives and bonuses in the Europe and Pacific manuals
Thanks :-D

Any Global NOs override the individual Europe and Pacific NO’s; the only NOs to use in the global game are those in the back of the Europe rulebook

Welcome, steiner73!

The Global Politics and National Objectives rules completely replace those in the Theatre games (except for the rules on neutral territories on pages 10 & 11 of the Europe rules).  The National Objectives from the Theatre game rules should not be used.

(Seems Calvin beat me to it!)

Thanks very much for the reply and advice.

Battles commences on Sunday 2nd at 11.00am.
Wife watching the kids so uninterupted battle time :-D

Which territory is the Capital for Italy.  N. Italy has a Major IC but it looks like Rome would actually be in S. Italy which only has a Minor IC.
