Example 1:
I have an German AA Gun on West Europe. Now some USA bombers flight from Washington via SZ10, SZ9, SZ8, SZ7 and SZ6 to Norway to bomb an german Factory. There is no AA Gun on Norway. Are the bombers exposed to the German AA Gun on West Europe? Or only when they flight over West Europe?

Example 2:
Or Japan has 1 AA Gun on Japan. And there are 3 submarines on SZ60. USA send 5 bombers to bomber the Subs. May Japan roll the dices for the AA Gun? Or are the US Bombers save against the AA Gun?

Can infantery, artillery and tanks hit bombers and fighters? Let's say: I have on French West Africa 1 US infantery and Germany send 2 bombers to it. Can US defend his self against the bombers? And does it count also for the artillery and tanks?

Screamer,

If I understand your question; any aircraft that passes over an AA during the combat phase of a round will be shot at by each AA gun once. Again, only during the COMBAT PHASE.

During the non-combat phase, the flight home to friendly territory, AA do NOT shoot back.

As for other units, if a bombing run is declared, no other units fire at the bombers. The only time other units may fire back at bombers is when the combat portion of a unit is on the particular county that it is attacking.

Hope this helps.

The bombing occurs in the Combat movement en Combat steps. But what I need to know, because its not clear to me, If the bombers fly from SeaZone8 to SZ7 to SZ6, the AA Gun on West Europe can hit the Bombers? Or not?

Thus Yes or No ;-).

May Japan roll the dices for the AA Gun?No.Or are the US Bombers safe against the AA Gun?Indeed they are, because they are not attacking the territory of Japan, where the AA gun is.Can infantry, artillery and tanks hit bombers and fighters?Yes.Let's say: I have on French West Africa 1 US infantry and Germany sends 2 bombers to it. Can US defend himself against the bombers?Indeed.And does it count also for the artillery and tanks?Absolutely.
