Loyalist OB – Calculating ARP Rates

Question:
For the purposes of calculating ARPs on the first turn of each air cycle, are air units in the France Holding Box behind a Closed French Border considered to be “on the map”?

Answer:
No, the OB’s specify that “Air units in play include all those on the map and in the aborted or eliminated boxes of the air chart.” Whether the French border is opened or closed, the France Holding box meets neither of these requirements. For ARP purposes, don’t count any Loyalist air units in the France holding box.

Insurgent OB – Com RPs

Question:
Why introduce the concept of “Com” RPs when Italian and German RPs must be tracked separately anyway?

Answer:
“Com” does not refer to “combined Italian and German”, it refers to “combined infantry and artillery”. Interventionist units are the only ones which do not require separate handling of inf and art RPs.

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.

Rule 15C1: replacement of French Metropolitan Units

Question:
Am I correct, then, that the replacement points needed to replace “Metropolitan” breakdowns are governed by the parent unit, and not by the breakdown counter itself?

Answer:
Yes. Using Metropolitan breakdown counters is for convenience and does not actually change which French force the broken-down unit belongs to.
