AA unit Question

Post by battlevonwar »

AA Production Unit... vs AA for the Air/Naval/Land Units. Do they Add on the same hex or does the individual target type of the enemy air attacking matter? i.e. Moscow has an AA rating of 4 and it's Mech Korp has a AA Defense of 2, do you then get = 6 AA Defense ... for a land strike attack?

Or would the AA Defense only work for a Strategic Attack? What about a Port does the Port benefit from AA defense of the City from a Naval Strike? And does AA defense Unit apply to any Unit within it's own Hex?

It works for anything. This is like attaching extra AA to a hex.

Technically you can put it in the front line. But then you take the risk of it being captured and railed out.

AA can be only placed in cities, resources, ports, etc.
And airfields (In a game I am deliberately building airfields to be able to place AA in the hex...)

Oh wow, didn't know Airfields could have them. That would really insulate Air Units from being smacked in stationary positions.

And I don't think they can be railed
