Rule 23C: Patrol Attack on Transfer Missions

Question:
An air unit is doing a transfer mission using triple range. It is patrol attacked and returned to base. Does it return to base using triple range, or just normal range?

Answer:
Triple range, which means it may well “return” to its desired, destination airbase. It is very difficult to interfere effectively with enemy transfer missions.

Rule 21: Returning Air units to Base

Question:
Suppose that a plane takes off from an airbase with a CAP mission over it, is patrol attacked and gets an R result. Where can that plane return to? Does it have to go back to the base it started from? Is this true of all R results?

Answer:
The air unit “returns” to any friendly airbase within mission range, with a capacity greater than 0 — just like any other return result. Air units are never required to return to any particular airbase, not even the one they initiated the mission from.
