Special Abilities Errata & FAQ

Large

This unit is treated as a Vehicle for stacking purposes.

Q: How can I load up a German 88 Flak Gun with the Large SA if only one vehicle per hex is allowed?
A: The current stacking rules allow you to temporarily over stack the hex. Using a transport with the Large Transport SA, you can drive in and then load up the 88 Flak Gun. Once the gun is loaded, it no longer counts towards the stacking limit within the hex.

Antiair

This unit ignores the -1 penalty on each attack die when attacking Aircraft. If an enemy Aircraft is placed in a hex adjacent to this unit, this unit may make a defensive-fire attack against it.

Q: Can an artillery unit without the Antiair special ability attack Aircraft?
A: No. (Comes from the 11/12/2009 Rules update)

Extended Range 20

This unit’s long range against Vehicles is 5–20 hexes.

Q: German Flak 88 w/shield just says Extended Range 20 versus the North Africa 88 which has Extended Range 20 for vehicles only. Which is it?
A: The Flak 88 w/shield should have the same wording as the other 88s. It should say;
"Extended Range 20 - This unit's long range against Vehicles is 5-0 hexes."
