EXP Game 1 Trout vs Johnny Cat

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee It turns out that knowing Japanese is a very valuable asset here in 2025 Taiwan.

[JohnnyCat]

@beelee YES I know this - and read it many times. Still don't know:

1. what is an escort and how to get them
2. How many NMs can be moved by escort (the game allows transports to move 5)
3. What is a NM2 and NM3

[beelee]

@johnnycat

Yea so only "3" NMs on a "Escort" at a time. Player Enforced. Triple has to allow illegal moves to make all Units transportable.

Edit
NM 2 = 2 NMs and 3 =3. 3 is the most common I find because that is max Escort ability to transport. Have to use edit to place them.

Edit 2
Ah you are in Formosa. I thought I had something wrong A Pleasant evening to you and I will post the Escorts directly

[beelee]

@johnnycat

Patience Grasshopper

i will explain directly

Edit
Escorts can't be purchased until turn 4, Late 1941. You can buy NMs and place them in your Capital but won't be able to move them until Escorts come into play.

So rd 5, Early 1942, would be the soonest you could move NMs that you had previously purchased.

Edit 2
When in doubt, you have to Player Enforce the rules.

Yea you probablly need to read the captain's rules again as i doubt the above explains it to you fully.

@beelee Patience... sorry but that was Latency not impatience, hahaha.

OK thanks I get all this mine stuff now - except how to get "escorts" but I am patient and look forward to the explanation when you get to it...

there you go again with those high dollar college words

I might have to look it up since I'm not at the bar and can ask 2 year Bachelor degree buddy the definition lol

Edit
Do they have Halibut there ? Idk I would think so favorite type of fish and chips

Edit 2
I edited above post for Escorts

[Trout]

@johnnycat He's in a yellow $2 territory that CKS ran away to after Mao decided that Communism is the way to go so that everybody can have a bowl of rice all to themselves every day. We are on Turn 3 in our game so Escorts not available yet. They work best in places that are bottlenecks which the Pacific doesn't have too much of. But it would probably cause me to take Pearl Harbor off of the attack list. Oh wait. Emperor has offered peace forever to Franklin so never mind, won't attack there .... Unless USA offends the Emperor's honor and rejects his offer.

USA3 just bought stuff, moved stuff, etc. but was surprised to find out that we were at war with Germany at the end of the turn - I had hoped to hang out with Hitler...

China did as they do - but they will return to wipe out the Japanese Plague soon enough...

And the UK did mostly India theater stuff - NOTE: I would like to have all the Land Mines in Burma ARMED...

I guess that is it; please let me know if I made any mistakes.

@johnnycat Looks fine to me. Your China moves are as good as any player on the planet so you are a fast learner I guess in terms of the moves you do. Just need to learn the rules and you will be a force. Only mistake is that you can only put 3 pieces in Western USA/SZ 10 while at peace. Since until war, all three of the industrial complexes for USA are minors. Then they convert to majors after DOW. But let's play on as it's a learning game. Will post I3 later today
