Naval Blockade
-
@Andreas What exactly do you mean by "naval blockade"?
Are you referring to what is called Convoy Disruption in the boardgame and in TripleA is called Convoy Blockade?
Please specify. -
Yes...that is precisely what I mean! I'm not getting an option to roll dice (dependent on types of units in an occupied sea zone) on any of the trun phases. I've right clicked the sea zone but that only allows me to move my units which I do not want to do. I wish to take money away from my oponent. When I play against the AI they do this quite frequently to me, therefore I know it's included in the game. Furthermore, it's in the rule book...explains very clearly which type of units can permform this action, how many dice and what numbers to roll are optimal, however, no mention of how to enact this type of move.

@Andreas the dice rolls for convoy disruption are done automatically and there is no UI component to it other than the turn summary window. You should check your history the rolls will be in there.

Hi@Andreas
triplea rolls the dice automatically. If you got to History "ctrl h" it will show the rolls. I think end of your turn it shows how much you blockaded but not the rolls.Also, I think there's an option that doesn't do rolls, it does a certain auto hit. Think it's 2 per sub and 1 for the others. Can't remember for sure.
Heh heh yea what @ubernaut said

@ubernaut while I have your attention, it appearsd that Japan can not place a Major industrial complex anywhere in Asia...I have been able to put a Minor IC , however, am not able to upgrade it to a major IC. I am of course attempting to do so on a territory with and IPC value of 3 (Kiangsu, Malaya, Kwangtung). Are you aware of any bugs in the game that I am not? Again, I have not seen any refernce to this on the chat boards.
(The AI never seems to build an IC when I play against it...and it is a very common strategy to use when playing Japan...makes taking the continent much easier)

@Andreas I'm guessing it's the Global 40 game ? If so, that's part of the rules. If you want to change that, you need to go to unitAttachment for the major factory. There's a list of where it can't be built. Adjust accordingly.

heh heh been practicing. Starting saturday the games are for real

Awesome sauce! Will try that straight away...
. Very helpful group we have here...

@Andreas I recommend to download and read the rulebook of the boardgame - you will understand a lot better what happens in TripleA (for example Convoy Raiding, placing ICs etc.).

@ubernaut said in Naval Blockade:
@Andreas i swear there is a rule about that but i can't find it maybe @Panther knows?
It is the rules (p.22) indeed:
"Major industrial complexes can only be built on originally controlled (not
captured) territories with an IPC value of 3 or higher. Minor
industrial complexes can be built only in territories with an IPC
value of 2 or higher. .... Industrial complexes can’t be built on islands..."@Andreas : You find some brief excerpts from the rules in the map's game notes, too. However the game notes cannot get in detail.
Don't always trust TripleA when it comes to rules questions. Know the rules before you start … and better check what TripleA has done.

@Panther oh right i was looking in japan and china sections forgot about the more general rule of not placing majors in captured territories. thanks!
