EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat

@johnnycat Boy thatβs a relief. The Royal Family is visiting there next year to see those big desert monstrosities. Hopefully Mr. Hitler will be a man of his word so no unfortunate international incidents
-
@trout you do know (I hope) that the real reason I play this game is your AMAZING HUMOR !!!
I will fix this today. Thanks.
This is what I need to fully learn this game.
-
@trout Mr hitler, much like Mr Trump from his future, NEVER LIES
-
@johnnycat Hey JC. I am unclear. Did you want to revise your J4, keep it as is, or should I edit it on my end when doing my turn?
-
@trout hmm
If there is a transport sitting in zone 6 with 3 mines then just move them back. But I thought I fixed that.

This is the second time you have brought current politics into the game.
That is inappropriate. We are here to play the Game. We don't care who you are or what you look like. What your political preferences are.
So make fun of Tojo Uncle Joe and Adolph all you want. You can throw the cripple Roosevelt in to if you want.
But current events are not why we're here. People get plenty of that as is.
Game Only
Thank You

In which case you can send out planes I guess. But why would you ? But go ahead and send your Shturmoviks to the bottom of the sea heehee

That's the least of your worries mate. Unless there is some intervention I don't know of, you are about to lose your three US carries. And I don't even have to make any magical carriers to collect my fighters tho I might still do that. heehee
-
@Trout Speaking of which, how did you pull that off last game? Because I have carriers that can reach I don't have to worry about it maybe but I may want to send out more fighters and buy some new carriers anyway so in cases like that is the game smart enough to read my production and allow for the new carrier?
I'd have to check our old game to see but I recall thinking that you could not reach my transports for that sneaky Sea Lion Operation I was going to do, but then you were able to send your fighters out during combat phase and somehow land them on carriers that were not there until placement???
I really need to understand how you did that since I seem to be able to do pretty much the same thing here.
Thanks
-
@trout Wow so this is Russia's big growth phase.
What is the difference between regular ing and those conscripts? And why. does the game show 17 regular inf in Russia but the notes say 17 conscripts?
I guess I need to know how that tank army works too - the one in Poland.. Can we not use the little tags and top boxes? Or at last can I change that into real pieces for this turn?
I never understood that top box thing anyway. This is not an actual boardgame so it's not like we'd run out of space or the cat will knock over the pieces, lol. What am I missing?
Cheers
-
@johnnycat Best to let you figure out any tricks. After all, you have already shown you know a few yourself
But for conscripts, they are the same as infantry for all intents and purposes after they are deployed. Also you had a question about panzer grenadiers, you can build 4 Hitler fanatics for those and they pack a bigger punch on offense and defense than the regulars. But for all Waffen, you have to build a regular and then upgrade them the next turn. But they have to be in Berlin when they get upgraded so that Fuehrer can brainwash them before they go into combat -
@trout ok well I just have an important procedural question: does the TripleA engine properly roll the dice for all these special armies and other units or do we need to do something special ?
