EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat
-
Incredibly more easy this way!

Edit - the Italians that went to Malta did not change to German... so I used the editor.
Seems like the RR token disappeared as well.
-
OTHER ISSUES that may just be intended for us to fix:
Based on the rules we need to do the following - so Germany is missing those IPUs and I guess should be added manually ??
Follow this procedure:
Germany pays 5 IPC to the bank
Italian units are replaced by German units
Germany collects all Italian IPC
Germany begins Repair & Purchase Units
Place a German national control marker in each
territory that is controlled by Italy.
Also, place a German national control marker in
all original Italian territories – even if these
territories are controlled by The Allies – in order to
reflect that they are now “original” German
territories.
Correct the IPC level in favour of Germany and
remove the Italian national control marker from
the Expanded National Production Chart.
-
@johnnycat That's the process for the board game. For Triple A, it will do everything automatically except for adjusting the IPC levels. On your G9 turn, you will get a message that asks you if you want to pay 5 IPCs for the takeover. Click on that box and then all territories and units will automatically become Nazi.

Japanese regular : -0.17 ANZAC regular : -0.33Looks like you used Edit to change Italian territories and units to
Germans which resulted in getting 0 lira. Just adjust it accurately before you start your G turn. In the future, you don't have to edit anything, Triple A will do the changes automatically on the G turn after the 5 IPCs are paid for the Takeover.38422b21-53d5-4a49-aead-fbbd081615fc-trout-cat-game-3-f8.tsvg

38422b21-53d5-4a49-aead-fbbd081615fc-trout-cat-game-3-f8.tsvg
ok but the game did NOT increase the IPU for Germany - it removed the 5 but did not get the credit and the rules state that they should get them for use this turn.
so add this? or ?
-
@johnnycat If 40 was the Italy bank then yes add to G and enjoy your enlarged Deutsche Bank account
-
yea you have to do the PU transfer manually. But if there is potential for Convoy damage you have to roll for that by hand or finish turn without takeover and restart at Place units so you can place the Takeover Token.
I find it easier to roll by hand for the Convoy/Blockade damage. Remember to count the Objectives and the auto 3 spot.
Most of the dudes change after Italys turn. You will have to edit a few. The Rail unit will auto deploy to Berlin.
-
@trout OK well one more issue
EDIT: Removing units owned by Germans from 97 Sea Zone: 1 armour, 2 artilleries, 2 infantry, 1 mech_infantry and 3 transports
EDIT: Adding units owned by Germans to Southern Italy: 1 armour, 2 artilleries, 2 infantry and 2 mech_infantrysI realize that I did not land those guys and they were to go to Northern Italy, of course... I see you put them in the south. OK for me to move them to the North?
-
@beelee Could you please explain the convey damage - is it in this display
-
Convoy ( Blockade in Triplea ) is same as OOB. Page 22
So 1 roll for Ships and Planes, no CVs or Trprts, I'm not sure if Escorts do or not, and a 1-3 is a hit and it does that much damage to the economy.
e.g. a DD rolls a 2 and a Ftr a 1, they would do 3 damage total. So minus 3 Income to who they are convoying.
Subs roll 2 dice
I'll do an example a bit later showing the TakeOver step by step
-
@beelee thank VERY helpful, But what is going on in the screenshot here?
-
Could you elaborate on what part you don't understand ?
-
@Trout. I keep posting this sign - this is from our game not a random example. So am I to read this that you have two blockades over Italy income? se szone 93 and that the game rolled a 2 and a 4 so 15 collected but 2 lost to convoy damage.
So 48 gets added to the German turn 9:: 71 - 5 for th take over +48 = 114
-
@beelee I don't understand if you are referring to things in general or the specific case which is this image so I gather the 2 were lost
In other words I get it yes. Thank you. And apparently the game did it because this is the image from that Italian turn
-
yea so you don't need to subtract the 5 bucks from germany when using the Token. A "UserAction" will pop up at start of G's turn and ask if you want to takeover Italy. If you accept it will auto deduct the 5 bucks
Edit
I will provide a detailed example after bit -
@johnnycat Happy Saturday my Cali evil genius friend
Had an idea for you since you are on a quest to figure out how this Takeover thing works. If you want to keep redoing your I8/G9 turn until you figure out the TripleA mechanics of it and then get your units where you want. Then feel free to do it a few times and then just post it when you are happy with the results. My F8 turn is not going to change no matter what you do so you can just follow these instructions for it and work on your Takeover. My F8 turn that you can just do and then move straight to your G9 are:- ANZAC purchase escort/destroyer/transport/infantry.
- destroyer and two fighters attack the sub in Sea Zone 45
- ANZAC Navy move to Sea Zone 54 and the two fighters after combat land on the carrier
- For France, just the destroyer/cruiser move from SZ 109 to SZ 110
Anyway, that can give you some time to just tinker with it until you get it right. Beelee is busy coming out with the new version of this game which will have the new Naval Commander units added, etc. He does great pro bono work with that. I should at least buy him an Irish Coffee sometime for a teensy bit of compensation.
You'll get it figured out very soon. I think you're almost there actually. Just need to place the token on your Italy turn, press the button paying the 5 IPCs on the Germany turn, and add the Italy bank account to Deutsche Bank via Edit Mode. Until then have a great rest of your day.

Sorry it took me days. My (who was my fiancé last month) contacted me suggesting a future meeting so maybe that is good. It was difficult for me to concentrate on this game with all that emotion running around.

GAME NOTES:
Now that I am learning it everything from the army groups to factory strategies are feeling almost east now.Congrats to Field Marshal @Trout for taking my West German factory and squishing it down to a minor - I always felt you were wasting your time and money with those bothersome paratroopers always dropping into their demise but now I see the point of that.
I formed a Panzer Group with a Waffle House Panzer Leader but not all the tanks are waffle tanks.
I formed a Waffle House Wait staff lead by a special fanatic and containing a special waffle artillery (had to plan to make those) and a waffle tank and some elite guy.
I HAVE NO IDEA what is the best make up for these groups - I would love to hear suggestions and even regroup them if that makes sense. I even have one of those Panzer Jagers (Tank Destroyer) that defends well so maybe he should join?
STRATEGY - I have been struggling all game to figure out how to assess the map in terms of reality of battles and it is better now. Thank you for patience.
While I WILL get into huge complicated battles with you, possibly next turn if you fall for my trap, I avoided the obvious blocking move because I know that you will just attack Slovakia even if you have a 1 percent chance and that makes sense because you have nothing to lose and my pieces are more precious in a sense.
I am surprised that you gave me Africa and Egypt, however, so I took it. And I STILL kept going to India which was my goal. Because you did not blow Egypt, however, I had to slow down and the battle wiped out almost all my methamphetamine-addicted Waffle Water Boys YOU F-ING MONSTER YOU!
Now I have to train more fanatics.
The Naval Mines are all placed where you would think but the graphics don't allow me to place them on the line between the med and the Atlantic.
If you do cross that line I would like to be online to see how you roll it. With 4 mines there and each one having a 33.3333% chance to hit and it being done for each vessel, odds are great that you would lose transports full of horny young seeman smoking cigarettes and reading National Geographic zines to see the naked African women... So don't cross the line, heeeheee. PS. I built two more naval mines so please leave one of my escort vessels so that I can build a wall.
I don't think I have anything else say other than, unless I read it wrong, we should have a few more good turns and I can finally build out and use these army groups
SSR up Sir
-
@trout The Takeover thing worked perfectly - no need to revisit it now. I totally get how it works
-
sorry forgot one thing
-
@trout I did not use any RR this time and should have but like I said my emotions about my lady...
But please check the board and see if I have 3 RR units - I recall seeing more but should only have 3.
Thanks
PS. I think that they appear during non-combat - so if you look now you see two in Germany and I think that those might need to be removed.
