EXP Game 1 Trout vs Johnny Cat

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

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.

@johnnycat Good afternoon! I think you posted the wrong file for ANZAC/F
-
@trout Wow - I am totally jet lagged but I don't know how I did that mistake. Fortunately there were no dice rolls and such so I just took your Mafia turn and redid the Aussies and their one French buddy.
I apologize for this - as I start to figure out this game I expect to be better at all the details ... but in my defense I had just returned from a week away from Mrs JC and, well, let's just say that the very fact that I even tried to work in a turn says a ton about my respect for you and @Beelee too - I really do love this game.
And, in fact, I did say to her last night, "Of course, dear wife, I love you more than any silly game... but these guys are so AWESOME and this game is so COMPELLING. I just need to do this turn ..."

.... And the text file of this amazingly complicated turn : Again, no big stuff. Just had those two French guys turn to UK guys per the rules - and again my sloppiness I guess did not catch that like I should have but definitely let me know if that is wrong.
The French moved a destroyer to block the IJN from crushing the Aussies for one more turn. And the Aussies built a factory in a MUCH better place IMHO. I guess the French guy in Brazil cannot turn to UK because the rules state something like, "any French inf IN THE UK" and I took that literally... again please let me know if that is mistaken.

@trout USSR 6
So this turn SSR just bought the first of their new MASS ARMOR production, hehehe, and we built an airbase and small factory out east and lost a battle in Western Ukraine.
I also spent one ruble on converting a UK tank into a T35/85. Another nice deal.
I put into the game notes that those 4 Land Mines are armed and I used the RR 3 times - one to move a factory (I had no idea we could do that), and a tank, and a conscript sucker to the far east.

Emperor of Japan is up next. Please send out more carriers for us to sink.
-
Yea so you place the AB 2nd place. No harm no foul as the SSR couldn't use it anyway
-
@beelee I know. And I tried that in practice games with the AI and it would not allow me to do it.
QUESTION: What does the ESCORT do? And why does it say that it has a Transport value of 1? What is that light?
-
@johnnycat
Nice clean turn. The AB premature deployment was the only f up and it had no affect on the game
Edit
The Escort has a Trprt value so it can Trprt Naval MinesEdit 2
They are your cheapest blocker and defend at 3 when in "Convoy" mode. Needs a liitle edit sometimes so check in Game Notes and the captain's rulebook -
@beelee Thank you - I am trying to get it all correct. As I said, during practice games the AI would not let me place the airbase and the small factory in the same phase. Should I have just used edit that case?
I do understand that I am not supposed to place it during the first phase and then use it... But like you said, in this case it had zero bearing...
-
@beelee They defend with 3 in "convey" mode. OK. Roger that. I read the notes and when the Escort is protecting 1 or 2 transports it defense is 3
and it is a great way to block subs... Hmmmm ideas ideas... I love it.
