EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat

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

JohnnyCat

@trout This is NOT working mate.

The German player pays 3 IPC in the Purchase &
Repair Units phase to upgrade the industrial
complex to Heavy Industry Production.
The German player immediately places the
Heavy Industry 2 Units marker underneath the
industrial complex in Berlin, to show that it can
now produce a maximum of 12 units in each turn
– beginning from the same turn that the industrial
complex is upgraded.

Lets forget about underground

I just want to make the Northern Italy factory Heavy so I can build 12 same turn.

So I purchase the upgrade for 3 - it has a little orange dot - then finish purchase and go to placement and that factory upgrade is not there.

JohnnyCat

@trout I will just use edit and manually convert the factory to heavy and then take off the 3 IPU.
