Rule 23G: Cargo Transport Aborted by Night Landing

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.

Rule 23C: Transport Units laying Mines

Question:
Rule 20F3 clearly says transports may air transport, but not lay mines. Rule 23C (3rd bullet) says a transport may fly extended range minelaying missions. Which is correct? (Laying mines is a transport mission which only B and HB types can perform, but so why not say ” a bomber may fly extended range minelaying missions”?)

Answer:

In essence, a B or HB laying mines is acting as a transport and thus 23C is technically correct, but I see your point. Note also that the second bullet of 23C covers this situation implicitly, since aerial minelaying is one of “most bombing missions”, in that it is not explicitly stated as a mission wherein air units may not fly extended range, in the specific mission rules. Since the rules do not disallow extended range aerial minelaying missions, it follows that the rules do allow them.

Note also that transports may carry mines at extended range, as a transport mission, so the third bullet of 23C is correct as well.

Rule 3A3: RE equivalents for transport purposes

Question:
What is the RE equivalent for transport purposes (both naval and air) of a unit transporting one resource point? Is it the RE size of the unit plus one or only the RE size of the unit if it is a division (so the resource point is less than half of the RE size of the unit) or what?

Answer:
Ground units may not carry resource points while being transported by naval or air transport, they may only carry resource points overland. Resource points and units are counted separately when shipped as naval or air cargo.
