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.

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

Get the little rush of turning everything German lol

JohnnyCat

@beelee I can easily do it by hand

JohnnyCat

@beelee I read the rules closely on this and according to what I read, I just start the German turn and BEFORE ANYTHING, I do the conversion and adjust cash, territory ownership, etc.

beelee

@johnnycat

Right Arm

Also maybe double check if you subtracted 2 bucks for when you added LM and NM #4

beelee

@johnnycat

Yea you will receive a prompt. Select yes and then adjust everything

Edit
I still think it'll be easier for you to redo the turn. Purchase takeover Token and place in 2nd Place

JohnnyCat

@beelee I've already done it - and yea thanks for reminding me of those 2 wayward Mafia Lira - that will be the difference in the game!

JohnnyCat

@trout @beelee

Here it is - the math is good but ITALY has 3 land mines bought and paid for but waiting in the queue - so how should we handle that?

I'm thinking just give Germany 3 Marks...?

Seeing everything change to Germany is a powerful thing, hahaha. But I am still behind.

JohnnyCat

@trout @beelee

I will take the German turn now - and will choose to just add the $3 to Germany's Monopoly Bank instead of being locked into those 3 Italian mines that I bought.

Unless you want me to stick with that - which is fine as I would likely buy 3 Land Mines anyway. you can let me know tomorrow and we can adjust as you like.

So I will up the German IPU from 71 to -5 for the ITALY TAKE OVER and +24 for Mafia's current IPU balance and +3 for the Land Mine credit so a total of $93. Note that the larger factory in South Italy and the 4 land mines and 4 Naval mines (and 7 inf) were part of the Italy turn 8 purchases. So I have checked and double and quadruple checked this but please let me know of if I missed anything.

NOTE: This is such a complex turn I will likely take my laptop to bed and fall asleep working this turn.

And then Russia Turn 9 will just invade Europe and wipe me out in a couple turns, hahahahahaha

PS. I tried Seo Lion with Panzer haven't heard from him - I hope I did not offend him with such a gimmicky move.

Trout

@johnnycat Good morning. I can't tell in your file whether you did your G9 turn yet or not. When I turn on history, it's not showing anything except where you manually converted I units to G. So are you still working your G9 turn?

JohnnyCat

@trout yes sir. Did you not see my note explaining this?

It’s such a big turn I’m still trying to figure it out. Finally I get to buy some shiny special units but I can only concert crazies from units already in Berlin. Berlin is a magical nexus point obviously lol

I’ll get it done soon !!!

JohnnyCat

@trout @beelee

Hello Gents

Im almost finished but need to ask: Can I mine the Suez Canal with Naval Mines?

Trout

@johnnycat You can put naval mines in SZ 98 blocking the Suez Canal. Beelee and Panzer are particularly fond of doing that. Again you should not know this much as a newbie!!!!

JohnnyCat

@trout @beelee Knowledge Is POWER

Another thing I cannot figure out despite reading the rules.

I want to make a factory that makes max guys and start with a large factory.

I can make it heavy in the first phase before combat yes?

But what about making it underground?

Someone told me that upgrades are lost when making underground but I cannot find that.

THANKS

JohnnyCat

@trout @beelee knows that I try all sorts of crazy things when I play these games. That is how we met, I was playing TheDog's game and kept finding bugs because I would create bizarre scenarios like Chile or Fiji being major powers...

Trout

@johnnycat It's in the rules but you cannot put it underground and upgrade it in the same turn. Both actions are done in 1st phase placement

JohnnyCat

@trout ok ok..

And if I make a factory heavy, can I make it underground later or do I lose the upgrade ?

JohnnyCat

@trout @beelee

I am trying to make the northern Italy factory heavy but the game will not let me do it.

What am I doing wrong?

JohnnyCat

@trout @beelee

I have checked and checked and I think I should be able to upgrade that northern Italy factory to be Heavy but no matter what I try I cannot seem to do it.

This is preventing me from completing this very complex turn - should I just edit it in and Remove the IPUS?

Trout

@johnnycat Yes, you have to put it underground before making it heavy. If you make it heavy first, you cannot put it underground later
