@Dafyd:

If the axis have an advantage then learn ways to overcome the advantage.

We did. We changed the rules. Problem solved.

This sounds like poor will to solve a challenge  :wink:
In “real life” (like Dafyd said) you’ll find many hard challenges… and you can’t change the rules  :evil:

I think that Axis hasn’t an advantage… it has “initiative” (at the start) that is another thing.

My group (about 15 players) is playing a G40 tournament. We played over 80 matches with bid 0… and the outcomes are nearly 50%

Ok thanks.

The doubt was about the sentence “adjacent to U.S. territories” and Greenland has never been an american state… but in the game it is marked as US territory… so it’s ok.

Can USA move ships and/or transports in sz 121 and unload units in Greenland while it is not at war?

@cyanight:

Page 28 of the OOB Europe rule book

Infantry, artillery, mechanized infantry, tanks, and AAA
(antiaircraft artillery) can attack and defend only in
territories. Only infantry, artillery, mechanized infantry,
and tanks can capture hostile territories or convert
friendly neutrals. All can be carried by transports.

As it is written, it’s not clear if the answer to my question 2 is yes or no.
And what about my first question?

Knowing that AAA can’t convert a friendly neutral territory:

1. can an AAA move into a such territory (without converting it?)
2. can a transport unload an infantry and an AAA in a friendly neutral territory (in the NCM phase) converting it?

Thanks!  :-)

@Shaniana:

Does that mean that Japan is an island and that I am not allowed to build a factory there?

Yes, Japan is an island :-D but you don’t need to build a factory there because one already exists!

@knp7765:

Does the fighter automatically destroy the AA gun(s)?
Or does the fighter have to keep rolling dice until it gets a 3?

According to the “No Combat Value” characteristic, the AAA is automatically destroyed (it doesn’t matter if the attacking unit is a ground or air unit):
If a territory containing AAA units and no combat units is attacked, the AAA units are automatically destroyed.

@wheatbeer:

An anti-air gun is a land unit itself, so it should fire.

I believe that line was included to clarify that anti-air guns don’t fire at enemy planes whose flight paths pass through their territory but only in the territory that the plane is attacking.

This reading seems right and it is rational that even an isolated AAA could fire to air threats, but the rule (as it is written) is questionable.
Since my group is playing a tournament, we would like (if possible) an official opinion.

What happens if a fighter attacks a territory containing only AAA?

According to the “No Combat Value” and “Air Defense” AAA characteristics, it seems that the AAA can’t fire at the fighter and should be automatically destroyed.

In fact, “Air Defense” states: An AAA unit can fire at an air unit only when that unit attacks land and/or air units in the territory containing that AAA unit. AAA units fire only once, before the first round of combat.

Is this correct?
