AA gun question

Good. Enjoy your games.

@bhughes1971:

Am I right in assuming that anti aircraft guns can only be moved if they are loaded onto a transport?

No. They can be moved on a transport during NCM as well as they can move to a friendly territory in NCM.
An antiaircraft gun cannot move during the Combat Move phase (other than being carried on a transport if the
antiaircraft gun was loaded on a prior turn).

@bhughes1971:

And if so, can they attack once loaded onto land to knock down a bomber, or does that have to wait until next turn before any combat is started and I want to shoot down my opponents bomber? I hope Im not sounding too much like a moron here… :-P

No. AAguns never attack. They defend when the territory in which they are placed is attacked by enemy planes.
Also they can be unloaded from transports only during NCM.

Yes, it’s legal.  Of course, if you destroy all of the defending units in the first combat round, you’re stuck.

@Dukla:

Is it ok to take one territory with one tank and in the same combat move round do blitz with another tank from the same territory{as first tank came}through the NEW territory?{I HAVE 2 TANKS IN ES.EUROPE,1 IS TAKING{unoccupied hostile} UKRAINE AND AFTER I DO MOVE AND BATTLE WITH THE 2nd TANK IN CAUCAS.

Yes, because the blitzed territory is unoccupied.

triplea is an open source gaming engine.

followup on question #2:
It appears that sea vessels can choose to engage the Sub, but it can just submerge and immediately disengage at the defender’s option (unless there’s a destroyer present, natch).

That would mean that the attacker was denied both an opportunity on the sub, but since they attempted to initiate a sea battle they also couldn’t do a bombardment.  Right?  So if you want a guaranteed chance on a sub, you need to have a destroyer accompany.  Or ignore the sub altogether, and suffer their attacks next round-which would be brutal, because a sunk defender couldn’t respond.

If you are saying that the Allies are landing Western Europe heavily, even reinforcing with fighters when Germany can reliably kill their beachhead, then it’s probably a bad idea unless the Allies are so far behind they need Germany to get diced. I don’t go heavily into Western Europe unless I can hold it for the rest of the game or I can hold it for a turn and have enough transports that I can pull out most of my units before Germany overwhelms them.

I don’t see any problem applying the individual victory rules from Revised to 1942.  However, I agree with Tekkyy that it’s probably better done later on.  I also believe that the individual victory rules from Classic are better.  In those rules, the individual winner is the player that increases his/her IPC total by the highest percentage, rather than by the highest number.

The spreadsheet comparing the Revised and Anniversary rules can be found here as well.  As Tekkyy mentioned, there are only very small differences between the Anniversary rules (though you also need to read the errata) and the 1942 rules, once you get past the absence of Italy and China as separate powers.
