EXP Game 1 Trout vs Johnny Cat
-
@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.
-
oh so it wouldn't let you place the Fctry and AB both during 2nd place ?
I will check that. Did you use edit by chance ? Edit doesn't always allow other correct behavior when it's been used.
OK I'm upgrading you from an A- to an A then since you knew the correct rule

Triplea will auto generate when 1 Trprt and 1 Escort but have to edit after that. It also doesn't recognize Allied trprts and Escorts working together or the Badass USA Trprt that can carry 4 dudes
-
@beelee OK. WOW
How about I pay you $1 million dollars to get a team and get this AI to actually do all this automagically like a real video game?
QUESTION: When do I place the Factory Upgrade? Use India as an example. I can buy a factory upgrade but can I then place units? Or does the factory upgrade take place in the second placement phase ?
-
So for Fctry upgrade for India, it's a Minor Fctry now after JPN took it over, you place 1st place phase
Edit
Hvy Ind upgrade for 2 bucks not to be confused with the OOB Minor to Major Fctry upgrade which would take place in 2nd place -
@beelee OK so that means YES I can place 4 units there that same turn...
? -
yep so e.g. at game start you buy a Hvy Ind 1 for S Africa. 1st place phase you place the Fctry and then 2nd place phas you can place 4 dudes
Edit
Yea you tried to place the AB 1st place. Can't do that. That's why it didn't work. -

heh heh
just donate a 20 spot to the site or if you flush a 50 be good.
If you're really cash heavy will ping @redrum as he's the one who did the latest AI improvements for the most part. It's a collaborative effort I believe
-
@johnnycat Upgrading TripleA would be very nice indeed! Beelee is a very humble gentle soul ... at least most of the time
I think he should go visit Denmark and kick around some of those European dudes in the next G40 tourney if he would accept you or somebody else buying a ticket for him. But he's not a big traveler. -
@johnnycat Hah! Nice pics. Unfortunately I am not very familiar with what Taiwan has to offer besides manufacturing PC chips and awarding $2 to the Allies if they take it from J in our game/hobby
If you were in Japan, I love their green tea but guessing that in Taiwan they import their tea from the same places USA does. -
@johnnycat Hey there. Looking at doing J6 now and snooped around on the rules a bit as I need all of the help I can get to save Yamamoto & Tojo from early doom!! So if I have this right:
- Russia attacked J on R4 so that means $7 is taken from Soviets and $7 added to J.
- Also with attacking Mongolia I believe the four dudes in Dzavhan are now Japanese.
- I will proceed with that in mind, did you already delete 7 rubles from Stalin's bank or would you prefer I edit that in??
