Question: Strategic bombing raids.

@Mn-guy As your question is neither about the website nor the forum itself I have moved your topic to the A&A Classic Forum Category,

Is Eire and United Kingdom adjacent by land …

No.

… or you need a transport between the two?

Yes.

@Krieghund perfect - thank you very much!

@El:

Bolter,

just a personal question…

Are you a heavy drinker?
With that nick and close
it justs looks that way. :D

ROFL! that’s a good one!

Cheers! is not an exhortation to drink, it’s so people in the boards cheer-up.

I play online WW2 flight sims like Aces High and WW2OL. People really need to cheer-up on those boards ;)

Incidently, I got my nickname while doing carrier trials for an Aces High naval squadron. I couldn’t catch the wire when landing, and that’s what the Navy calls a bolter…it stuck.

With that said…Cheers! :D

@free_planet:

The second question is about the 2 canals. For Panama Canal, the rulebook has explicitly listed that Paanama territory has to be controlled at the beginning of the turn for the naval units to use the canal. However, I couldn’t find this condition for Suez Canal in the rulebook. So, I’d like to know if my naval units can use Suez Canal on the same turn that I just conquered it?

Thanks for your attention. :)

It is generaly accepted that you have to own both Egypt and Syria at the begining of your turn in order to use the Suez Canal. I don’t recall if it is stated in the rule book.

LOL

I’m not sure if that was what he meant, that was what I understood however as silly as it sounds. I think you covered it as best as it could be covered Meijing.

what are AA Active & Axis Advantage?

Very good response. I’d like to add that if you are talking about 1 TR (unsupported) vs. 1 TR (also unsupported), the defender will always win since the attacker has 0 attack value. I.E. essentially you can’t do it.

Unless you play with an always active AA gun, flyovers on AA guns on the Non Combat Move cannot be fired upon by the AA gun.

In any attack of the nature you described, the AA gun must roll one die for each attacking plane (that is, FTRs & BMRs) at the same time–attacker chooses losses. This concept is reflected throughout the game in various different instances. For instance, your dice in Combat are rolled by “column” on the BattleBoard. After you roll for all “columns” then count the raw # of hits, the opponent chooses what got hit (except in the rare case when multi-national defenders cannot agree, in which case the attacker chooses). In research as well, you can’t buy 1 Tech Die at a time and roll till you get a hit; you must decide how many dice you want and roll all of them at once.
