Europa Games and Military History
Question:
If I understand this rule correctly, then a code X air unit which suffers an “A” result in combat is considered aborted and not eliminated. Is that correct?
Answer:
The unit would suffer a “double abort” (once in combat and once per Rule 23H10), but in SF this still equates to an “abort” and not an “eliminated” as in some other Europa games.

Question:
What happens to the cargo of a transport aborted when making a night landing at the intended mission hex? Does it end up at the mission hex, mission origination hex, dead pile, or somewhere else?
Answer:
I assume you mean when the air transport is aborted for landing at night? In that case, the cargo is at the airbase where the air transport landed.
Abort results never eliminate cargo. The cargo could not be at the mission origination hex, since the air unit may not return there. Therefore, the cargo is at the destination hex. It is delivered before the roll for crash landing is made.
