Questions and Answers

Do Turkish divisions have intrinsic AA ?

Combat/motorized divisions and cadres do; other divisions and cadres do not.

In The Near East, the rules for Egypt call for the conversion of two British light antiaircraft counters to two Egyptian light antiaircraft counters, but this is not in the War in the Desert rules. Can you tell me why?

These two AA counters are accounted for in the last paragraph of Advanced Rule 32G which requires the Allied player to garrison Cairo and Alexandria with one AA point each. You may convert the counters to Egyptian once the NE conditions are met.
