Title: Airbase attacks and AA guns
Post by: Doc Barber on September 02, 2012, 11:43:39 AM
If an attacker does an airbase attack, and there are no other air attacks into the territory, then the AA guns are not supposed to get any defense?  I always thought that airfields almost always had AA, primarily for that reason.

We have played that the defender has the option to keep his planes on the ground and roll AA.  Surviving attacking planes get their ground attack roll to kill a plane on the ground if they survive the AA defence.

Alternatively, the defender may scramble his planes and fight air to air, in which case there is no AA.
