EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat
-
@trout Good Point - but because of my combat failure in Egypt I miss out on the juicy bonus this turn...
Hmm, maybe I will return. Mein Fuhrer's wife wants that Sphinx thing
-
@trout The funny thing is that now I READ EVERYTHING MANY TIMES..... because I don't want to be lazy
At first I asked you guys way too many questions... I was lazy - now I study first. My apologies for being so lazy.
And I like I said I planned this the entire game because I feel it a necessary tool when playing the Axis
OK OK I gotta get this non-com phase done because it is so important...
You still have a HUGE advantage and I know you know that
-
@johnnycat I have the advantage yes
But I fear that I may get this one and maybe 1-2 others before you become the Dominator. Not fair that you think of things in your first game to where now Beelee and I even refer to it as the JC Gambit. I have a Master's Degree from an Ivy League school even (not saying which) so I am no dummy. But you really do have skills at this. -
Here is the save - needed to use Edit but here are all the relevant game notes:
Trout vs Cat GAME 3_GERMANY 9 FINAL.tsvg
GAME NOTES:
LAND MINES:
I sent 3 Land Mines to the "front" so they are armed and sitting between Slovakia and East Poland. There exists a Russian version in Changer for that mine but almost never the versions I seek so those 3 land mines are yellow.
Another land mine is sitting in Southern Italy ARMED but again, I cannot find the correct mine. There is only 1.
4 ARMED NAVAL MINES
4 Armed NAVAL MINES are waiting to blow up 4 ships trying to sneak past Gibraltar (heehee)This was a difficult turn but it helped me immensely and I should be faster in the future. Funny how those upper boxes make sense now and are easy....
I also created my first Waffle House group and a Panzer Group. And I wasted money on a Waffle House armor upgrade but hopefully I will do that next turn if you don't wipe me out.
Another interesting thing is that the mines available in Changer actually "Change" from turn to turn. I've tested this and this is very weird behavior. I also cannot read one third of the text because they are listed with a font color that is almost invisible.
-
yea for some reason Changer units don't stay in the same place after you first edit them. They will usually move to the left. Really messed with Panzer and I until we figured it out.
Just use a generic one and use Comment Log what it's defending.
My guess is I coded it so Germany can only place upgrades in their starting Fctry. N Italy obviously isn't one. Would have to check with the Captain if they can upgrade Italian original Fctry s after Takeover.
I'm not sure. I'll read through it again after bit. If that is indeed the case, I will fix it for next update.
Edit
OK I will fix this for next update.
Also check that the double bonus works if you take any of the Oil Objectives. I think it should but not 100% certain since the Token wasn't used
-
@johnnycat I am attacking Slovakia - big surprise. I rolled three LMs via DiceBot and you got one hit. I sent the results to Beelee because I don't know how to send them to you. But he can vouch for the results if you have questions
-
JohnnyCat rolls with the same handle over there

I did remove the Commie it blew up. By the way, you accidentally purchased carrier-based G planes and put them in your territories. They can only operate on carriers. But let's just let it go and do it correct the next game. I am okay with that.
Lastly, I declared war on Japan and boosted your bank account by 2 rubles in doing so. Speaking of Japan, their turn now!
-
Hey mate that was so far off what I expected, that I need to spend some time analyzing this
I will want to clean up some key issues as well. Like I read about the Me109 and nowhere does it say those planes cannot be used - those were critical to my plan actually but if I was wrong I sure want to know.
Here is what I read: "Germany can produce Aircraft Carrier Based
Fighter Plane units.
They can be produced at any factory site that the
German player controls from the start of that turn.
They operate as any other Aircraft Carrier Based
Fighter and can be used in any Theatre of
Operations that the German player wishes."So is there some deeper meaning by "they operate as any other ..."?
I've lots more but first I will ensure that I understood the number of units. Because yesterday I felt like I finally got it - but I look at the board now and some things still make so sense. For example: Where did my 1st panzer go? How is his general still in the upper box?
Where is the Berlin Army group that was supposed to easily counter attack if you took it with the predicted 3 units...
Why are you still showing a panzer group in the upper boxes?
Again, thank you and remember this is a TRAINING LEARNING game - we are not trying to outsmart each other here - and this is the first game that I finally got to these boxes !!!
So I request to look over this more closely and if I find some big issues maybe just redo this one too.
Again I stress this is serious learning for me so I don't skimp, but it NOT a competition type game and if it was you won it Turn 2 or 3 for sure.
But first I ask for clarification on those ME109s and the current disposition of units on the map since it seems missing things..
Have a great Hump Day

@johnnycat said in EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat:

Hi Cat
Yea so the yanks and JPN both have Naval Ftrs page 31 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jI_1JdIC-1KiTihBICJAbtX3GpVYnNgf/view
it's a little involved but basically Naval Ftrs can only operate from CVs. The only time they can be on land is if they can't land on a damaged CV and then they can't do anything, cargo for game purposes, until a undamaged CV is available for them to land on.
-
@beelee ok. that's needed to know. but what about when they get placed? which is the issue here really. the rules state they can be produced in factory !
so for 1 turn for sure they not on the carriers
-
@beelee Dear Yoda B
@trout said:Again I just need to clear up some stuff so thank you in advance for helping: QUESTION ABOUT FULL FACTORY BUILDING OPTIONS
Trout said: "@johnnycat It's in the rules but you cannot put it underground and upgrade it in the same turn. Both actions are done in 1st phase placement"
Bee said: "yea you can purchase and upgrade same turn. Have to do a little creative editing. If you make a Fctry Hvy and then go underground it loses the Hvy Upgrade."
What I am trying to understand is what options I had for making a strong factory in Slovakia this specific game and Germany turn 9 which we are discussing?
Variables are factory starting game there
size
above or undergoundand loosing bonuses I guess when putting underground.
This is why I ended up with the Northern Italy factory builds but If I could have built a large factory and used it in Slovakia or even the other places that might have been better.
I was also tempted to build factories in Persia !!! I bet that would be fun. But again I was not sure. If I could have build a factory and an upgrade so that I built 4 units that turn, again, that would be essential to know.
THANK YOU
-
no they place directly on the CVs. You need the CVs in order to place them. Idk if triplea still allows to place in the Fctry or not. I think I fixed it. For JPN and USA only though.
Idk if I did for the reich and UK though
-
@beelee OK I take your word as Gospell
But the rules Page 55 say the following:
"They can be produced at any factory site that the
German player controls from the start of that turn."But ok. I will move on - those fighters should never have been bought and placed. THANK YOU for that.
-
I don't want us to get lost in too many things but I also need to learn these factory building rules because I spent hours and still appear to have gotten it wrong
You guys are telling me the opposite yes? Or am I misreading ?

Bee said: "yea you can purchase and upgrade same turn. Have to do a little creative editing. If you make a Fctry Hvy and then go underground it loses the Hvy Upgrade."
-
hmm ... I will check the upgrades. Maybe you can't buy and go Undrg same turn. I thought you could.
The key for the UK and G Naval Ftrs is the "they operate the same ..." or whatever it says. Yea there's a few spots where things aren't quite as clear as one would like. Some of these were addressed in the revised rulebook and the Rules Clarification https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/assets/uploads/files/1634040084883-rules-clarification-axis-amp-allies-global-1940-house-rules-expansion-1.pdf
Edit
Something to keep in mind is that the guys who wrote the rulebook, english is not their native language. -
@beelee again mates - I am only trying to learn and I have to go by THREE sets of rules and talking to you guys !!!!
Anyway could you please look at the game @trout posted.
I need to understand where everything is because it appears that markers are missing and units and not supposed to be where they are but I dunno?
Like why is one of my panzer generals (My first) up in the boxes? Is he hiding. is he retreated Is he a ghost?
Same with soviets stuff. There is a 1st panzer group there but well I am not sure.
THANKS
-
@beelee ok I did not know that about English
Again I go back to wanting to help - but boy this would be a big job...
-
@beelee Oh Yea the company options for Slovakia. If you could tell me the options for the start of German 9 for that territory - because I thought I could not even build there -but then I could... but then...
You get it.Please just show me the turns for ideally defending any territory where you can build a company.
