EXP Game 1 Trout vs Johnny Cat

@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??
-
@trout they have much of their own teas actually. Much comes from AliShan, the mountainous region I was in
-
@trout you thief !
Sure you can do it
I’m not sure of this but do whatever you think And I’ll read about it tooCan the Mongolians leave their country? Get on horses and form units that sweep across the steepes. ?
Japan is looking strong actually
