      Maybe I don't know the naval mines rules as much as I thought.

      Can you take a look at the purchase for Italy and tell me what makes sense :

      https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/assets/uploads/files/1692452838727-1.g40-naval-mines.pdf

      says: A maximum of 3 Naval Mines can be loaded onto
      an Escort

      Previously in Japan I was loading only 1 naval mine per escort ! I had that wrong ?

      In particular I am wondering why the game let me place all the mines except 3 land mines? @Trout said that I could go ahead and just consider that I spent $2 to make that south Italy factory larger but I will deal with it next turn as Germany - or as Italy if I have the wrong.

      So some reason parts of this game still elude me, lol. And I have to remember that places that start with a factory are different than places that do not start with one

        yea so Mines are, as you can see, somewhat labor intensive with triplea. For starters, you can only buy as many as your Fctry can produce of regular Units.

        So Italy can only produce 3 per turn, 4 if they upgraded. They can do that for NMs and LMs both so 3 a piece with starting Fctry plus any other builds

          that includes all of us πŸ™‚ I've been playing Mines wrong for almost 5 years lol. I thought they defended only one direction but once the border is mined it defends in both directions.

          I just found that out today πŸ™‚

          I have to update the notes and clarify as the Captain's didn't make it seem that they did by my reading.

          But I fckd up Pacific Island Bonus for close to 3 years too, so one is gonna have a little bit of that πŸ™‚

            @beelee Yea that makes sense. Thank you.

            I can easily correct those things now

              Since I cannot place 4 unarmed LMs I removed 1 mine and added 1 PU

              So Italy placed 3 unarmed LM

              What is the situation with the 6 Naval Mines? How many of those can I purchase there in Southern Italy ?

                @trout Again my apologies that I posted that practice game.

                As far as I can tell everything in Italy is fixed except for buying 6 naval mines - I'm not sure how many I can buy but I posted the latest save

                  only 3 NMs a turn for Italy. Same as LMs unless you upgrade the Fctry to 4. Then 4.

                  Also if you have a damaged Fctry you can only place as many as the damaged Fctry can regular units.

                  4 Damage on a Fctry that can place 10, means it can only place 6. That means you can only place 6 LM and/or NMs then.

                    @beelee Gosh I am sorry that I am so dense but I think I am twisting the rules in my brain.

                    So just to be clear: Are LM and NM treated differently or is the TOTAL NUMBER of mines just the size of the factory?

                    In this case 3 mines total? OR 3 LM and 3 NM ?

                      3 each

                      Edit
                      Italy could buy 3 Inf 3 LMs 3 NMs all in the same turn and place them all in S Italy.

                      If they have enough dough πŸ™‚

                      This also includes Rockets for G and R

                        So this should be the final fix : one Factory Upgrade for $2, 4 Naval Mines and 4 Land Mines.

                        Sorry for the difficulty this turn - all I wanted was to buy some inf and leave Africa lol

                            @johnnycat Hey JC. Will send in my Croc Dundee turn tonight. It’s going to be the same as what I did previously. I am still depressed about blowing up 22 IPC’s of stuff and spending 4 doing it- then you just nonchalantly smile and go the other way 😞

                                Thank you - yea it's rough but I'm hopeful.

                                Regarding Egypt, maybe take solace in the observation that the fireworks show confirmed my decision to go East. Had you not, I might have decided to get those Pyramids packed up for the mighty Fuhrer for his birthday present.

                                  @beelee Hey there Beelee. Was going to do my ANZAC turn but I believe I need to Edit in the Italy Takeover Token or Triple A won't do the Takeover after JC pays the $5 dollars on his G9 turn. Is that correct??

                                    yea the Takeover has to be placed 2nd Place Phase of Italian Turn or it won't work. That's why I told Cat he could redo his turn and edit any Combat or edit the Takeover.

                                    Actually probably easier to redo the turn and edit the Combat and NCMs but Idk. I haven't looked at it.

                                    I can do it for you guys later tonight if you want or aren't quite sure about how to go about it.

                                        I was able to edit in the Takeover Token. So when the prompt comes up about whether you want to pay 5 IPC's for the Takeover, you need to click on it. Then it will convert your Mafia into goose-stepping fools. Turn 9 is upon us.

                                          Amazing. This game is amazing and I just need to be patient - I also understand those army groups better now and will make a bunch of my own this turn. The best way to learn.

                                            I was able to edit in the Takeover Token. So when the prompt comes up about whether you want to pay 5 IPC's for the Takeover, you need to click on it. Then it will convert your Mafia into goose-stepping fools. Turn 9 is upon us.
                                            710242b9-5a91-40ef-8d5f-7aed7ec410f2-trout-cat-game-3-f8.tsvg

                                            It won't work unless it is on Italy's turn. It places 2nd place phase. At end of Place it will auto change most stuff.

                                            That's why you need to edit by hand or redo the turn and edit the Combat results. I think it'sd be easier doing that and Cat can get a firsthand look at how it works πŸ™‚

                                            Get the little rush of turning everything German lol
