@beelee I have no units in continental Africa
this is what the above save shows for me.
-
@beelee what! OK let me check
That looks like one of my practice files.
-
This is what it looks like but I will load the file as well
-
I hate to say this - but the Mac kind of sucks because it does not keep the windows current like in Unix. I almost always do a practice run and save to a similar file name - so I use a dash in the filename versus underscore./
I guess I need to be more aggressive because the Mac does not keep the file name current as UNIX would do.
Anyway this is the actual game file:

@trout sorry about that - I uploaded my practice file. Please look through the file I just uploaded...

It's easy to do. Yea Mac and triplea have had problems from the get go.
Edit
Yea that qualifies. So, the easiest way is to purchase and then place the Takeover Token for Italy. It will then auto change most stuff.Idk how much combat took place. But you can redo the turn and edit the combat results and place the Token or edit all the takeover stuff.
It's a little confusing but after you do it a few times it works pretty smooth. The biggest is getting the income correct, especially if there is Blockade/Convoy damage that has to be rolled for.
Gotta do that by hand but that is not the case here.

Maybe I don't know the naval mines rules as much as I thought.
Can you take a look at the purchase for Italy and tell me what makes sense :

says: A maximum of 3 Naval Mines can be loaded onto
an EscortPreviously in Japan I was loading only 1 naval mine per escort ! I had that wrong ?
In particular I am wondering why the game let me place all the mines except 3 land mines? @Trout said that I could go ahead and just consider that I spent $2 to make that south Italy factory larger but I will deal with it next turn as Germany - or as Italy if I have the wrong.
So some reason parts of this game still elude me, lol. And I have to remember that places that start with a factory are different than places that do not start with one
-
yea so Mines are, as you can see, somewhat labor intensive with triplea. For starters, you can only buy as many as your Fctry can produce of regular Units.
So Italy can only produce 3 per turn, 4 if they upgraded. They can do that for NMs and LMs both so 3 a piece with starting Fctry plus any other builds

that includes all of us
I've been playing Mines wrong for almost 5 years lol. I thought they defended only one direction but once the border is mined it defends in both directions.I just found that out today
I have to update the notes and clarify as the Captain's didn't make it seem that they did by my reading.
But I fckd up Pacific Island Bonus for close to 3 years too, so one is gonna have a little bit of that
-
@beelee Yea that makes sense. Thank you.
I can easily correct those things now

Since I cannot place 4 unarmed LMs I removed 1 mine and added 1 PU
So Italy placed 3 unarmed LM
What is the situation with the 6 Naval Mines? How many of those can I purchase there in Southern Italy ?
-
@trout Again my apologies that I posted that practice game.
As far as I can tell everything in Italy is fixed except for buying 6 naval mines - I'm not sure how many I can buy but I posted the latest save
-
only 3 NMs a turn for Italy. Same as LMs unless you upgrade the Fctry to 4. Then 4.
Also if you have a damaged Fctry you can only place as many as the damaged Fctry can regular units.
4 Damage on a Fctry that can place 10, means it can only place 6. That means you can only place 6 LM and/or NMs then.
-
@beelee Gosh I am sorry that I am so dense but I think I am twisting the rules in my brain.
So just to be clear: Are LM and NM treated differently or is the TOTAL NUMBER of mines just the size of the factory?
In this case 3 mines total? OR 3 LM and 3 NM ?
-
3 each
Edit
Italy could buy 3 Inf 3 LMs 3 NMs all in the same turn and place them all in S Italy.If they have enough dough
This also includes Rockets for G and R
-
So this should be the final fix : one Factory Upgrade for $2, 4 Naval Mines and 4 Land Mines.
Sorry for the difficulty this turn - all I wanted was to buy some inf and leave Africa lol

and leave Africa lol
yea it's not what it used to be
-
@johnnycat Hey JC. Will send in my Croc Dundee turn tonight. It’s going to be the same as what I did previously. I am still depressed about blowing up 22 IPC’s of stuff and spending 4 doing it- then you just nonchalantly smile and go the other way
-
@johnnycat See! I am right about turning you into an evil genius! Happy to be a part of your therapy group while you navigate some tough times personally
-
Thank you - yea it's rough but I'm hopeful.
Regarding Egypt, maybe take solace in the observation that the fireworks show confirmed my decision to go East. Had you not, I might have decided to get those Pyramids packed up for the mighty Fuhrer for his birthday present.
