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

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).

What about Interception, can i intercept when my airbase has +3 or more damage? I guess yes but a clarification would be nice! thxs

@Babubaer:

No ab needed for intercept

thxs Boldfresh for your fast answer  :-D

@wittmann:

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

Thanks. I had never really thought about it.  And it’s a very significant detail indeed.

Say Russia is at war with Japan but not Germany.

Say USA is at war with everyone. Can USA land units into amur?

Yes rolling 1s or 2s on airbase damage with tactical sucks balls. Just bomb UK’s airbase with Italy if you have to, so when germany does sea lion, it goes off without scramble problem.

Yes, any of the allies can move into any Russian territory on the Pacific map in this situation.

The cool thing about the +2 on Strat bombers is if they get through the interceptors and AA fire, you are guaranteed to disable a base with a single Strat bomber

@Cow:

That is brilliant.  I must remember this so it’s not pulled off with success against me.

Although UK normally has a few fighters and Italy’s fighters are normally out of range, so it wouldn’t be a very high success rate, I wouldn’t think.  And if Italy moved her fighters/tac within range of London I think I would be tipped off…

But thanks for advertising that nasty little trick

In a sealion game you could have Germany SBR London.  Send tacs to serve in the air battle and to hit the airbase. Money spent to repair it may be 1 less infantry they can build.  Then SBR it a second time with Italy from the Paris airbase.  If they intercept you might shoot down a fighter.

I got lots of tricks up moo sleeve. I am the candy man, you can call me the screaming lord, or ice, the super machine. Prepare the next attack, this is the liberation!

Oh my goodness, I shouldn’t have encouraged him

My transports are always in the pipe 5 by 5 with a squad of badasses looking sharp. I will always escort them to the perfect drop.

I just need help remembering the rules to this complicated game!

We’re always here for your rules questions, Cow
Never hesitate to ask

Whoa!

PGMatt and I both got rockets (he with Germany, than I got them with UK) and we’re starting to rain them on each other!

Poring over the rules for rockets, we have a question.

The rule book says each of your operative air bases can make a single rocket attack against an enemy IC, air base, or naval base within 4 spaces

There is no stated prohibition against targeting the same facility with more than one rocket attack.

My question is:

1. Can you attack the same facility with multiple rockets (coming from different air bases)?
2. If no, can you attack DIFFERENT facilities within the same target territory (coming from different air bases)?

Or is it still the rule that basically you can only target a single enemy territory once per turn?  Last I remember, that’s the way it was, but that was when (I thought) it was only IC’s that could be targeted.  I see this changed as of Alpha3.

Thanks, Krieghund!

On a related note to Gamerman’s question, what happens when you succeed on your Tech roll but roll a tech you already have? Do you roll until you get a tech you don’t have or do you lose your tech roll?

@Gamerman01:

Can you attack the same facility with multiple rockets (coming from different air bases)?

Yes.

@P-Unit:

On a related note to Gamerman’s question, what happens when you succeed on your Tech roll but roll a tech you already have?

You roll again for a different one.

HOLY ROCKETS, BATMAN

That’s a MAJOR change from OOB.  I missed the exploding fireworks and ticker-tape parade that heralded this change.

There WAS fireworks and a parade, right?

Hey there is a cruiser that is sitting with my germany transports… if I declare war, I can still load it up and unload right?

If we are already at war then I cannot right?

If I am wrong can UK put destroyers on japan transports and prevent him from using them?

@Boldfresh:

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.

Why the heck haven’t you sent me private message with this information?

You can’t expect me to read every page of a 37 page new FAQ and a 100+ page old FAQ.

I rely purely on people informing me either by PM or by a formal bug report, that something in TripleA does not work properly.

Please post the bug reports here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=44492&atid=439737
(no account is required, you can make the bug report anonymously if you want)

How to make a good bug report:
1. Confirm and Isolate the problem by yourself IF possible.
2. If there is an error message, or error console, copy and paste the full text to the bug report.
3. Tell me what version of TripleA you are using.
4. Tell me what map you are playing, and what version of this map.
5. Include a savegame either clearly showing the error, OR ever better: with the error about to occur and clear directions of what steps I need to take in order to get it to occur.
(example: a savegame during combat move right before error, directions state to move unit x to territory z, it is not allowed which is an error, or w/e)
(If there was a crash, make a copy of the autosave to send to me (before it gets overwritten with a new game you start))
