If the Capital falls the game is most often over - even if the Capital is re-captured - since there is no money to purchase new units - so the Capital would eventually fall again.
Concerning Sealion:
We have a German Strategy for the Sealion that involves German Landing Craft units.
Even when the Germans put everything in their arsenal for Sealion, the UK player would be able to defend against the invasion - since the Home Defense rule and the Bristish 1st Tank Army would be ready for defense in Late 1940 or Early 1941.
The UK player also has an option to place Mines in United Kingdom - this would reduce the effectiveness of German Landing Craft units.
Remember:
If Landing Craft units attack across a sea zone, this sea zone must be clear from enemy surface naval units from the start of the turn.
In other words:
A single UK surface naval unit would prevent the German Landing Craft units from attacking…
We haven’t seen a UK Flak Tower yet - due to the scenario described above.
You still haven’t answered the question. If a capital falls, does the occupying power control the flak tower? It may not matter, but you need to cover all hypothetical questions.
It Says never destroyed. So the attacker gets the flak and with any damage if they capture the capital since they were very hard to destroy.
Thank you for clarifying!
The Flak Tower rules have been clarified concerning capturing by enemy forces.
The pdf file is updated today.
Thank you!
This is a picture of the newest Expansion unit: Flak Tower.
This picture origins from the Global 1943 Expansion Revised Edition.
Nice!
@The-Captain Hey there Captain. Got a question regarding Flak Tower. I know that AAA cannot shoot at Super Heavy Bombers but what about Flak Tower? I may have missed it but I didn’t see that addressed in the Flak Tower rules. There’s a statement about Flak following AAA rules except where noted but I am in a game with Barnee currently where I am doing a Sea Lion attack, so I think it best to get answer from you before making the air raid. Thanks!
Hi Trout,
A Heavy Bomber unit is immune to any kind of AAA - including defensive fire from a FLAK Tower unit.
Remember:
A FLAK Tower unit can absorb a maximum of 5 Damage Hits - including hits from a Heavy Bomber unit.
@The-Captain Got it. Makes sense. The Super Heavy Bombers, Carriers, and Battleships are some of the most powerful units in the HRE.
