          @trout So is it really true that there are only a few of us playing this amazing game?

          I wish I could get all these new guys I'm meeting to play - some already told me they are interested.

              @trout Not for nothing - in fact, Europe has created a new National Holiday and your exploding factories were the center of the fireworks celebration...

              But seriously I was trying to get to India and now I'm not sure

                  @trout @beelee

                  TAKE OVER ITALY Clause??

                  Please let me know if this is the case:

                  For the next turn I will, if possible, invoke the Take Over Italy Option and spend 5 - that means that I get a total of 19 added to the 71 Germany starts with when all is added up and all the units are converted and the outstanding Italy IPUs are added. The 3 mines that I bought will transfer as well

                  Is this correct?

                    @johnnycat You’re on the right track but need to read up on that rule thoroughly. For example, you can’t do it if there are any Mafiosi in Africa. So you can’t do it until that is the case at the end of an Italy turn

                      @trout I did read it many times and even prepared for this the entire game.

                      I have no Italian units in "continental Africa"

                      Perhaps our Yoda (@beelee) can comment?

                      The very definition of "continental" rules out Malta and Syria

                        You need a Escort to deploy NMs. https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/assets/uploads/files/1717400187249-3.g40-naval-mines.pdf

                        You load them in NCM and then move them and either deploy or leave unarmed on the Escort.

                        Have to use edit in 2nd Plase Phase to remove the NMs and the escort. Then add the Escort back in and add Changer NMs.

                        Document in Comment Log where they defend. The Border they defend is in both directions.

                        I'm in the process of updating the examples for both LMs and NMs

                        https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36998/global-1940-and-1943-expansion-for-use-with-triplea/234

                        They aren't very triplea user friendly. If you forget to remove in 2nd Place it won't let you. Just ignore and place the changer ones.

                        You only have 1 NM in Italy. The link explains how to buy and deploy

                        Edit
                        You need to evacuate Alexandia and Egypt to do the Takeover. It's somewhat involved, so you will want to go through the triplea Notes

                          @beelee what is this?

                          We know the naval mines issue - but were asking for clarification on the German's TAKE OVER OF ITALY clause.

                          I believe I can do it but General @trout says no... Can you look please ?

                          THANKS

                              @beelee In fact I have read those rules about the take over MANY times because I have been planning that this entire game.

                                @johnnycat I just looked again at your Italy turn and I see Mafiosi in Alexandria and Egypt. Those count as Africa. I think you're okay with the two guys in TransJordan. But you can't do it this turn. If at the end of your next Italy turn, if you don't have any units in Africa along with the other two requirements which I assume you know since you read the rules, then you can do it. Yes, would be a good move to do.

                                There are Game Notes in TripleA for how you can get TripleA to convert the Italians into Germans so you will need to read those too

                                        I hate to say this - but the Mac kind of sucks because it does not keep the windows current like in Unix. I almost always do a practice run and save to a similar file name - so I use a dash in the filename versus underscore./

                                        I guess I need to be more aggressive because the Mac does not keep the file name current as UNIX would do.

                                        Anyway this is the actual game file:

                                            It's easy to do. Yea Mac and triplea have had problems from the get go.

                                            Edit
                                            Yea that qualifies. So, the easiest way is to purchase and then place the Takeover Token for Italy. It will then auto change most stuff.

                                            Idk how much combat took place. But you can redo the turn and edit the combat results and place the Token or edit all the takeover stuff.

                                            It's a little confusing but after you do it a few times it works pretty smooth. The biggest is getting the income correct, especially if there is Blockade/Convoy damage that has to be rolled for.

                                            Gotta do that by hand but that is not the case here.
