Rule 22: Is there any standard rule for firing AA against air units making a Harassment mission?

Question:
Is there any standard rule for firing AA against air units making a Harassment mission?

Answer:
Per Rule 20G2d, Harassment is a bombing mission. Per Rule 22B 1, the enemy player may fire AA against air units flying bombing missions. Harassment is not listed in Rule 22B1 as being one of the exceptions to the general rule on firing AA. Therefore, the standard rules apply, and any friendly units, except for naval units, may fire at any enemy air units flying a harassment mission in the hex the friendly units occupy. Advanced rules 43B1 and 43B2 simply modify the standard rules concerning AA fire versus this particular mission.

Rule 20G2d: May an Air Unit aborted during an Harassment Mission become operational in the next initial phase?

Question:
An Allied air unit flies a harassment mission during the Axis player turn but never makes it (aborted or killed by flak or fighters). Example: During the Axis Jul II 43 player turn, a USAAF p-400 participates in an air operation flying harassment mission against Messina (26:3823); during the AA fire step it is aborted, and does not participate in the mission resolution step. During the initial phase of the Allied Jul II 43 player turn it is replaced. May the P-400 become operational during the Allied Jul II 43 player turn initial phase? Or is the P-400 inoperative under Rule 20G2d last paragraph, “an air unit which flies a harassment mission during a player turn does not become operative at the start of the next player turn”? Under the Master Sequence of Play Summary air units are replaced (step 6) before air units become operative (step 8).

Answer:
The air unit may become operational. Once it was aborted (or eliminated) it was no longer flying a harassment mission, it was out of play. No air unit “carries” over any status from previous turns when replaced/rebuilt from a replacement pool.
