I couldn't find this in the FAQ (I might not have looked hard enough ) Can you counterattack your own card if the commisar rules are in effect. Example: I played gates of moscow. German played armour assault, Soviets placed card under commisar, Germans counter attacked their armour assault. They went 4-0 up after two turns. [Beschwerde über Forumsbeitrag?

You can only Counter-Attack your opponent's last card.

With Commissar rules (I apologize if this is obvious), here's how the sequence goes.

0. Start of game. Russia puts card under the chip.
1. Axis plays a card and takes his turn.
2. Russia plays the chip card, puts a new card under the chip, and takes his turn. (Or Russia may play a Recon-1 or Counter-Attack directly from his hand, instead of touching the chip on his turn.)
3. Axis plays a card and takes his turn.

The last card played is always your opponent's. That's the card that can be Counter-Attacked.

Re:Questions for the Official FAQ	Mon, 26 December 2011 08:37

My airplane is interdicting an infantry and my tank forces another unit to retreat next to my airplane. The database card in the FAQ would say that the unit is interdicted since the unit starts its turn next to the airplane, but the FAQ seems to say otherwise. Which is it?

The unit is not INTERDICTED unless it was adjacent to the Airplane at the time the Airplane performed it's battle action. A unit that retreats later is not MARKED with the Interdiction badges and may move and battle as normal.

This VERY answer is on P. 30 of the FAQ.

Quote:

Q. If an enemy unit is forced to retreat adjacent to my Airplane that is doing Ground Interdiction, is the new enemy unit under my Interdiction?
A. No.

The FAQ is the updated version of the rules, so it is the final say if the prior rules said something different or were not clear.

I know. It was just that this ruling completely contradicts what is said on the data card. I knew that FAQ overides the printed card, I just wasn't sure if comments in the FAQ overide the card in FAQ. "starts its turn adjacent to Airplane" should be changed to "was next to airplane when the airplane did its air action". [Beschwerde über Forumsbeitrag? Hier dem Moderator melden]

http://static.memoir44.com/lang/english/images/mm_compendium_air_rule_5.jpg

The questions/answers in the FAQ are there to clarify the unclear statement on the card:"starts its turn adjacent to Airplane".
As we LEARN from the FAQ that a unit that was retreated in the prior battle action was not "technically interdicted".

I certainly agree that your text is much clearer, ("was next to airplane when the airplane did its air action") but the card is already printed and will probably not ever be changed... hence the FAQ.

If you are actually playing the boardgame, you use the INTERDICTION chits (little bomb craters) to actually mark these units. The interesting thing is that if an interdicted unit has to retreat, the chit goes with it, so that even if it is no longer adjacent to the airplane at the start of its turn, it still may not move on its next turn.

Again, FAQ p. 30

Quote:

Q. If my Airplane has used Ground Interdiction on a group of units and then one of my other units rolls a retreat flag against one of them, does the Interdicted unit retreat or not? If the unit retreats, is it released from the Interdiction?
A. The Interdicted unit must retreat. The Bomb Crater Marker is not removed from the unit when it retreats. The unit may not move on its turn, though it may still battle, even though it is no longer adjacent to the Interdicting plane.

Thanks for keeping this thread so updated with questions that have come up. Like I said in the FAQ Supplement, I will not be creating a Campaign Book FAQ so let's keep those questions separate and not clutter the basic FAQ thread with CB questions.

Thanks! Cool

Yep, it would be treated exactly the same way. I don't think this needs to be in the FAQ because the Overrun part of things doesn't change between Armor and Cavalry.

Do Patrol Cars get to use the BCF Battle Back rules?

Quote:

Played the Raid on Barce scenario last night. Afterwards, I wondered if we got something wrong. The jeep units are only single figure. If they are attacked by close assault and survive, do they get the Stiff Upper Lip battle back die roll? I don't see any reason why not. We didn't play it that way because we forgot. (We don't have much experience with the Brits yet.)

What is the correct way to handle this?

Found on BGG.

Needs an answer here.

Quote:

Stiff Upper Lip:
A BCF ground unit that survives an enemy Close Assult combat without retreating and is down to a single figure may immediately battle that enemy back with 1d

I see no reason why any single figure unit would not be allowed to do Stiff Upper Lip.

Yes, of course. The adjacent hex rule of jungle terrain is a battle rule which the unit's special abilities overrule.

So can we take this answer as "Official" since this is the Questions for the Official FAQ.
We are curious because in the online version Snipers cannot move 2 hexes into Jungle and still battle.

An artillery unit is ordered by the "Artillery Bombard" card. Its makes it first attack against an adjacent British unit which then makes a "Brit Battle Back" roll and it is a flag. This forces the artillery back. Does the artillery get to make the second attack? Or does the BB rolled flag act just like a flag result as from the play of the Ambush card?

and might as well include this: Q - An artillery unit is ordered by the Artillery Bombard card. It declares a close assault combat but is forced to retreat as a result of the Ambush card. Is the artillery allowed to make the second attack as per the Artillery Bombard card? A - No. If an ambush against an artillery unit ordered to Bombard, is forced to retreat by the ambush, the artillery unit may not battle. Richard Borg [Beschwerde über Forumsbeitrag?

I knew we had discussed this before. However, Richard did not specifically address the "Battle Back" effect that a British ground unit would have in this similar situation. My guess is that the same rules apply. If the artillery is forced to retreat on a BATTLE BACK, it would lose it's ability to continue the attack. [Beschwerde über Forumsbeitrag?

I just an answer from DOW for this question.

My question as it was stated in my e-mail:

If a Sniper moves 2 hexes into a jungle hex, does its special terrian combat ability override the jungle battle restriction requiring a unit only being able to move 1 hex and battle?

and the official answer from DOW:

Dear John,

Thank you for your request.

Regarding Snipers and jungles:

A sniper moves like a Special Forces infantry unit, 1 or 2 hexes and battle.

Jungle Terrain rules do not allow a Special Forces infantry unit to move 2 hexes into the Jungle hex and still battle.

Therefore a sniper cannot move 2 hexes into a Jungle hex and battle.

In this case the French Resistance should not be able to use Infantry Assault to move 2 into jungles and battle. Currently it's allowed in the online game.

Remember, only certain units may move into terrain where battle is normally not allowed on the turn of entry and battle on the same turn.

All units may move 1 hex into jungle and battle.

So, it seems to stem from the fact that NO unit can move 2 hexes (or in the case of BEL - 3 hexes) and battle from a jungle hex.
