Global 2nd edition Q+A ( AAG40.2)

clearly the only answer that makes sense is that an ab with >2 damage can perform NO functions.  but i’ve been surprised before.  :lol:

Rockets specifically mentions that the air base must be operative.  As for paratroopers, from the context of the other air base rules (as well as from the term “inoperative” itself), it’s pretty obvious that inoperative air bases can’t perform any of their functions.

Thank you

I see I did not read the 2nd edition rules on rockets.  If I had, I would have seen the word “operative” and would have been sure that that extended to paratroopers as well.

@Gamerman01:

DO YOUR HOMEWORK GAMERMAN!!!  just kidding!!!  :-P

I am sorry if this might not be the right place for this question because it is about bid units but I don’t know where else to ask it.

Would it be legal to bid an ANZAC infantry and place him on a British transport?

no that is illegal.  you can only place units in a territory that already has at least one unit of the placing power.

You can ask your league questions on the G40 league thread that is stickied in the league section

If Russia is only at war with Japan, can UK atlantic move into Russia?

No.

Cool.

I have a question regarding allied control of Dutch New Guinea.
Does Anzac or UK pac have to control that for Anzac to get the NO?
I’m just wondering because I have a game going on Triple A and the US has control of it…but Anzac isn’t getting the NO even though all other conditions are being met.

tripleA does not compute some NO’s correctly.  i have held calcutta with Germany and it doesn’t give Japan the NO - it can be held by any axis power to give japan the NO.  same is true of NG, must be held by an allied power.  in other words, it’s a bit of a pain in the butt, but you have to edit the bank account every round manually.

Thanks Boldfresh. Yes, that does seem like a pain in the butt…and I’ll have to explain it to my opponent now…I hope he agrees to it…Anzac needs that extra money!

@captain:

it’s not something he needs to agree to.  you just give yourself the money and tell him why  :wink:

I’ll just change territory ownership from US to Anzac…then I won’t have to add the NO each turn.
I’ll let my opponent know what’s going on …it’s just a friendly game so I don’t want him to feel like I’m making up rules as I go.

that’s fine except for if you ever want to build a base on the territory - the base would be purchased, placed, and operated by USA, unless axis takes NG back and then another power retakes.  just make sure there are no other original anzac territories that are not owned by the axis to thwart the NO.

hey guys, sorry for a nub question……I forgot about the relationship between airfield damage and scramble.  Does a certain amount of airfield damage negate the ability to scramble, or does that only relate to air movement?

Hi Zhukov. You cannot scramble or get the extra one  movement if the AB has 3 or more damage. Not one or two.

Sorry if that last phrase was unclear.
I meant with 1 or 2 damage you can still scramble and get the extra movement.
It is 3 damage that negates these two abilities.

And for the tech players out there -

I recently got clarification from Krieghund that air bases with 3 or more damage can’t launch paratroopers (or rockets - which was clear in the rulebook).
