Question about new ac's and existing fighters

In all current forms of the game since AA Anniversary edition, subs (and transports) can not and do not ever block movement.  So if in your example you can attack a stack of subs with a stack of destroyers and other units are free to proceed through to another seazone, even though there will be combat in that seazone (destroyer on sub).

additional questions on fighters:

1  Do fighters benefit from a cover roll when attacked by units in a clearing (this would assume low flight by the aircraft)
    or do cover rolls not apply to aircraft at all?

2  Are ‘disrupted’ aircraft removed until next casualty phase (assuming they can still fly for repairs) or do they remain
  for a full turn like other units

Thanks for the help. Just started playing the starter set and wasn’t sure on these

Welcome to the A+A boards, BigKahuna!

Hoping that you have your answers already, but here goes:

1.  Strategic bombing raids (SBRs) ONLY attack the industrial complex of a territory, not the units therein.  If your game is playing without fighter escorts (optional rule decided by players ahead of time), the defender gets to roll his AA gun for each bomber SBRing the territory (killing a bomber for each 1 rolled), and that’s it.  If you’re playing with fighter escorts, check the errata to see how many shots the defender gets for the fighter(s) stationed ONLY in the industrial complex’s territory.  Surviving fighters don’t get to bomb the factory.  Other than that, the other units in the territory don’t get to participate.

2.  Usually that’s the case with this game, getting enough people to actually play a 5 person game.  Team up, of course!  Usually UK and Russia go well with the same person, sometimes I see UK and the USA by the same person.  If only two people, obviously Axis and Allied teams.

3.  Shoot, just use a pad and paper, but probably 30 of each should be more than enough.  IPCs usually in the range of 50-60 per side at their highest.

@Fighter:

Whatever fleet you build as UK, you are free to place in the seazones around UK. Then on the german players turn, he has 2 options: stay and fight against whatever fleet you might have built, or to run away.

This is correct. You may put new naval units in a zone that still contains enemy units.

If your’s attacking the capital, you wouldn’t want to SBR, 'cause the IPC’s will be yours after the takeover.  If attacking a non-capital IC, go ahead, as it depletes your enemy’s IPC’s.

Both moves are legal, the first just wouldn’t do you any good. :-D

@Arsonist:

If there is a Russian sub in SZ 12, can German Subs move through that zone from SZ 7 to SZ 18 to do combat?  If so, would it make a difference if I had a transport there or is it just a destroyer?

For some reason I just thought they could only move through zones like that if it was a NCM but I’m just double checking.  Some sneakysnake did that to me and I just didn’t know it was legal.

Guilty as charged. :)

That’s why I asked for clarification in another thread before doing it. :)

Couldn’t just let you invade MY African Continent!

Please Do… It is always great to have minds talking together…

In basic A & A, you must unload all troops from a TR on the same territory, & once the troops are offloaded, the TRs movement ends. You CAN p/u troops from different locations (say load one INF in Phillipines, move TR to Okinawa, load another INF at Okinawa, move to Sea Of Japan SZ, unload both INF in Manchuria), but they all must be unloaded on the same territory (in the example, the 2 INF could be unloaded on either Manchuria or Japan Home Islands but not one on each).

In any case where a unit is involved in combat on Combat Phase, that unit’s move ends & it may not move again on Non-Combat Movement. The only exceptions are FTRs & BMRs which may fly out on Combat Move, be part of a battle in Combat, then fly back on Non-Combat Movement.

It’s possible I’m wrong about the landing of units on 2 land territories adjacent to the same body of water as the TR, but if I am, the rule is logical, & intuitive & I would recommend using it anyway…
