Europa Games and Military History
Question:
An Allied airborne unit lands in an unoccupied Axis-owned hex that contains an city and becomes disrupted when dropping in the hex. May Axis reinforcements/replacements appear in the city in the Axis initial phase? If so, may they then conduct the same sort of in-hex combat in the combat phase that airborne and amphibious units conduct?
Answer:
Yes.

Question:
Suppose an air unit drops disrupted into a hex containing a port. May Axis naval units continue to use the port? If so, may Axis naval transports land ground units at the port? If so, may they then conduct the same sort of in-hex combat in the combat phase that airborne and amphibious units conduct?
Answer:
They may use the port there, but ground units may not be disembarked at the port. Rule 6 lists “In general, a unit may not enter a hex occupied by an enemy unit. Exceptions to this are covered in the appropriate rules.” Note that the naval transport rules do not list this as an exception.

Question:
An Allied airborne unit lands in an unoccupied Axis-owned hex that contains an airbase and becomes disrupted when dropping in the hex. Therefore, the Allied player is unable to use the airbase there. May Axis air units continue to operate from the airbase?
Answer:
Yes.

Question:
Disrupted units may not attack. AA strength of ground AA units is twice their attack factors (attack strength is never affected by general supply). Can a disrupted AA unit fire AA? Is there anything else that affects AA strength?
Answer:
There’s nothing in the Narvik rules which modifies the AA strength.

Question:
Units that are disrupted are ½ defense.
Units that are out of General Supply for 2 turns are ½ defense as well.
The rules do not address units that are both U-2 and disrupted. Are they ½
or ¼?
Answer:
Most Europa rules have a rule that explicitly says that all modifications to the strengths of a unit are cumulative. The Narvik ruleset seems to lack that rule; however, there’s nothing that says the modifiers aren’t cumulative, either. Common sense says that they should be cumulative, so provisionally we’ll go with that, but I will flag this question to be
review by the errata group.
Note that German units on the 2rd and later turns out of supply have their defense strengths reduced to zero rather than halved per Rule 11A2c, last sentence.
