Same question on the factory upgrade - is that the beginning of the turn so that I can place 4 guys in that factory (assuming I upgrade South Afrika or Egypt).

Or do I place the upgraded factory then use it to add 4 units the next turn?

Thanks

It's dinner time and my next to last day here - Let me know if either of you would like anything from Taipei... There are many cool things here but I HAVE NOT SEEN Scorpions...

@trout @beelee

Attached is the UK Turn 5 that I intend to do.

QUESTIONS:

My 3 UK paratroopers believe that they alone can liberate France and want to go for it. They are already planning their ticker tape parade and lining up the girls. How is this handled?

Not lining up the girls, I mean :

Do your planes get to try and intercept?

What about AA?

Can I send my 5 fighters along to watch them get crushed?

I intend to build an airbase in Egypt. In my dreams I can place it during the first turn, then use it to give my planes there an extra space to run and mess stuff up, but I'm guessing the Airbase gets placed after my non-combat phase and the turn is over, yes?

That's it for my questions - I have not actually started this turn yet and this saved game is merely to show the map of what I intend to do assuming the Gods of Rules allow it.

Thanks you and it's great to feel like I can play this game again - those few days with terrible internet were... well they were "terrible"

Hey Gents. I finished USA 5 -- Brutal loss of 2 bombers hahaha.

Things were a tad confusing for me but as far as I can tell, I got the map corrected. But I had to restart the turn - originally I was going to bomb Japan but as I was starting that the net crashed for me and I was not even sure if I was connected to the dice server. Anyway, I gave this lots of thought and decided to try and nab up all the islands I could instead. And my two bombers were shot down over IWO JIMA with anti aircraft missiles from the future. NOTE Did you ever see that movie where a "modern carrier" slips through time to Dec 5 1941? It was a late 80s movie I think.

EDITS:
So 3 more Russian suckers (Conscripts) were added to Moscow since 3 disappeared for some reason - and I don't know why Might want you guys to double check what happened because I bought 16 (I will buy 26 future games) and wanted 3 in Karelia, and 6 in UKraine and 7 in Moscow but somehow that was wrong? Where is Stalingrad? I don't see that but apparent we can put 6 there?

Anyway the USA like I said lost 2 bombers which sucks but they took some islands, blocked some IPN and bought stuff. Moved some paratroops to Alaska to jump over the somewhere in Russia I guess - is that legal?

I bought the USS Iowa - that is cool.

I need a nap so I will get to China and ANZAC later.

OH and I had to use Edit to fix my damaged BB and weirdly had to use edit to land the lone bomber that survived Caroline Islands. The AI let me attack there because there was a legit landing for the unit in New Guinea- but after the attack the game would not let me move it there. weird; did I do something wrong?
