EXP Game 1 Trout vs Johnny Cat
-
@beelee you are so amazing.
Thank youI SAVE ALL
THIS SO
ILL NOT HAVE TO ASK AGain. -
Yea so the Bmbr can't attack Carolines. It moved 5 to get there and only has 2 movement left.
The reason triplea allows it, is because with the introduction of "Heavy Carriers" it allows 2 "Strategic Bmbrs" the ability to land on Hvy CVs. So triplea will let them land on a regular CV too.
You have to PlayerEnforce correct movement.
What I will do for the next update, is not have the Bmbrs able to land on the CVs unless the "Heavy Carrier" Game Option is selected ( it's on by default ) and wait until the Hvy CVs enter the game.
That will help a little bit. I will update the Game Notes to clarify that in more detail.
Hvy CV explained here: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/assets/uploads/files/1746017644582-17.g40-heavy-aircraft-carrier-unit.pdf

@beelee oh darn. And I thought I had that figured out. Sigh
So what to do? Redo the turn? The battle? Jump off the building I’m in?
Please PUNISH ME so that I learn. Because we all know that beatings are the only true way to learn.
-
heh heh
I will look at the History and see if it can be adjusted.
Edit
So first rd dice we discount the Bmbr roll. It rolled last. So 4 hits
Means 2nd rd JPN would get 1 more roll for the Arty.
because rd 2 JPN will score 3 hits not counting the Bmbr so I'll just roll for it. 1 die at 2 for the Arty.
Arty got a hit.
So kill another yank and just move your Bmbr from Midway. You get 7 movement so just pick a legal area for it. Remember it can't land on any new conquests
-
@beelee it’s quite possible that that bomber crew was so high they didn’t even participate.
Or
That bomber crew are really Japanese kamakazi dudes that defected. Their aim
In life was to crash their plane into something juicy no matter the side. -
@johnnycat anyway my apologies for missing that.
I’m so extremely cautious now not knowing what the game will allow but is not allowed. And with all the stress I’m under in RL I just missed that count. But I recall counting it and thinking new Guinea I was the only option. Hmm maybe I was high and not those bombers …
-
Hvy CV is a new unit and we're all still getting used to it. I adjusted in above post
Edit
Corrected the above toRemember it can't land on any new conquests
-
@beelee ok thanks for figuring that out. I’ll adjust and continue with UK turn 5. Whew.
Sorry for the latency between seeing your responses.
-
UK 6 - Well I sure "feel like" I am getting the hang of this game.
SUMMARY:
I First took @beelee advice and whacked 1 inf at Carolines and moved that bomber (just sent him to Korea). So that way the Carolines Island invasion cost me an extra guy but was all Kosher.
I checked the SSR conscripts by the way and that is all correct: 10 in Moscow, 3 each in those other two zones (Karelia and Ukraine) - In this game Karelia is Novgorod I guess.
I bought an airfield for Egypt (I like those) and a Heavy Industry upgrade for the Egypt factory (which would not place automagically for some reason so I had to use edit. But were I to place it in South Africa, it would have worked. Go figure)
I also had to use Edit to invade those 3 Frenchie places - They were unguarded so why not? The French maidens went crazy with the para boys and there was much wine, rejoicing and shhhh, other types of celebration... Of course, the Nazis or their evil henchmen will take it all back but what else should the UK do until the USA just lays down 6,645,453,002 Sherman tanks ; which will hopefully be soon except those pesky Japanese keep getting in the way and slowing down the Yanks... BUT NEXT TURN I have BIG SURPRISE for Adolf, heehee.
I don't know what else to say here. The Brits sure got themselves a bunch of money this turn !
And the paras all have some doppelgänger units with Bright RED dots. What the heck are those?
Did I do everything correct? I took out that magical land water transport thingie that the Mafia had in Syria. THOSE THINGS REALLY SCARE ME - they are boats that are land units. WTF
Anyway, that Syria attack was a nice set of rolls and maybe made up for losing those bombers but who knows.
Oh and I rail-roaded one New British Tank into SSR because the RR let me - please don't tell me I can't do that... :). Or tell me... I just do what I think is correct and The UK needs to get two more tanks there asap.
Also for the record: I have yet to actually look at what units the Germans have bought for the simple reason that I felt I had absolutely no choice in the matter until now - but now I am studying what Field Marshall von @Trout Tasty Fish has purchased and I admit TO BEING VERY SCARED.

I still don't understand how you guys have those nice turn updates showing in the web pages but I can only post text files.
-
That was weird - but this is the correct game save - the previous one did not have the Carolines Island Edit (the bomber went to Korea) and 1 Inf went to the bottom of the Pacific...
There are times when I think this game may be too complicated for my small brain. Like I swear I made those edits... yet they were not there when I checked. I try to play out copies of these games in local mode to get a feel for the game so that was likely what happened. Anyway should be correct now but please check.

You can't upgrade the Egypt Fctry. Only Fctrys that exist at Game Start
Edit
Paratroopers use a "ParaBoost" to give the Paratrooper a +1 on attack and defense for the first rd of battle.
They are explained on page 18 of the Captain's rulebook
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jI_1JdIC-1KiTihBICJAbtX3GpVYnNgf/view
Edit 2
The AirBase is placed in 2nd place phase, same as OOB rules. It looks like you forgot to move the Flying Tiger.Edit 3
UK can use it's Rail in Russia. However, triplea took an incorrect path through the Pro Allied NW Persia. This is incorrect but as one can easily see, there is an alternative route through East Persia.Triplea also activated NW Persia when the Rail moved through it, which is also incorrect. So NW Persia needs to retutn to it's original Pro Allied status.
Edit 4
Here are some OOB rules that triplea does not follow correctly. They are located towards the end of the Game Notes.
Edit 5
Your Ftrs had the correct range to hit Syria from Egypt without the AB, so no harm no foul. -
@beelee ok so. NOnproblemio. I’ll just upgrade the South Africa factory.
-
@beelee and indeed the Flying Tiger unit forgot to move. Thank you for noticing that.
The details of this game are compelling me to write an organized guide. I think doing that for me non-game life helps too.

keeping the brain engaged with a heavy plant based diet helps stave off dementia
or so I've been told
Well I'm batting .500 anyways

@beelee ABSOLUTE CURE TO DEMENTIA:
Learn to play this game !
I should put a series of papers on PubMed proving this and get a Nobel Prize.
-
@johnnycat Hey JC. I am losing track of which save is the correct one or are you still revising? Can you repost the correct one please or let me know you are still revising and/or testing? Thanks
-
@trout yea I just got back to the states. Driving up to home now. I’ll get to this tonight and be back on a normal American schedule !!!!!
I love being home.
-
@trout Attached is the current turn - Your Mafia is up. I put the date Jan 9 into the title so there should be no mixup.
And thanks for putting up with me - I am now back home and while I might have some jet lag I will be able to respond quickly now.

I thought I did it, but the two frenchies in the UK were supposed to turn British last turn- so I used edit to turn them. Please turn them back if I misread the UK Turn 5 or did something wrong. It's probably no big deal either way and I wonder how such a rule even came into being.
