EXP G40 Game 3 Trout vs JCat
-
yea that is a bit of a gray area between OOB and HRE. I see it as you can upgrade to Minor Hvy Ind to place 4 this turn but then IDK if you can Upgrade to Major same turn.
I'm guessing one or the other. So that'd put the Major upgrade off a turn if you just upgraded to Minor this turn.
I guess you could ask the Captain at the other site but I would say you can only do one or the other the same turn.
I've been wrong before though
-
@beelee omg that is confusing. So Trout invaded like turn 2 when I did not know about this stuff so the big factory turned to small for some reason.
So I just want to know the best path to get back to large

Can you please tell me what you would do this turn and next in order to get the west German factory back to normal?
I would upgrade to Major this turn. Place 3 with your Minor as the Major upgrade won't take affect until next turn per OOB rules
Edit
Triplea should do that correctly -
@beelee ok thank you. that is what I wanted to know !
So I pay the $20 but I build like 3 inf there and then place the major factory which I can use next turn.I LOVE the underground factory rules
-
yes place the Major 2nd place. Test it out just to make sure but OOB rules state that the Upgrade is placed same as the other units.
lol Actually I have to look up how OOB does it but that's how you should do it

Unless you're trying to Bomb them
I'm gonna dbl check on when the upgrade places OOB
Edit
OK I can't find it. I'll look at the other site. They have a FAQ thread there for G 40 -
@johnnycat Yes, I would just pay the 20 and upgrade to major this turn. Can place three this turn and ten next turn - or twelve next turn if you pay the 20 and then on next turn upgrade the major
-
@trout Thank you
-
So I studied this move like a chess game and all went great until after I rolled and got reasonable results I realized I missed a battle. hahaha. I did in fact have guys that could have taken your paratroopers in Bulgaria.
I am just not used to making the connection to fighting units and those little markers... so only after all the battles got rolled did I see a little "1st" marker in northern Italy that could have done it... Oh well, live and learn. Tell those guys to enjoy the town - they will be smashed next turn - except you can fly them away !
-
So my dream came true
And I built a German factory in Persia.
BUT QUESTION with my answers: Can I upgrade that factory to make 4 guys? (YES) Next turns of course. Can I make More than 4 guys there ever ? (NO) Can it be underground? (YES but small)
Sorry but I just cannot figure out the rules clearly on this because of my brain.
Thank you
-
I also want to know what the ELITE tanks are ideally for. Should I have them in those special little groups of 6? Like in the board game we get to specify which units get the extra rolls - so should I put my elite tanks inside those army groups? Or maybe they are better just being there?
-
hello again Cat
Yea so you can't upgrade new Fctrys to Hvy Industry. Only Fctrys you originally start with. And only the original owner can upgrade them.
So you gonna max out at 3 in Persia. Might wanna get Iraq on the same program
I forgot your other question brb
Oh yea the Elite Tank. Yea you can only use it in a Army Group as part of the 10 land unit requirement.
Get 2 rolls for the price of one
I kinda like em for defense in lower intensity areas -
@trout Sorry for all the additional comments and questions but now that I have stuff I am trying to learn how to use it.
And I want two of those new SUB pens I just got to be in other places so should I tell you now? The rules say anywhere I own next to water at the start of that turn so I want one in Iraq now.
And the one I got the last turn would best be in Southern France I would think.
THANKS

I need to check Subpens. Idk if you can have one not in Europe brb again take 2
so you are team green for Iraq
Edit
Hmm ... this gives me pause
I am not entirely certain. I think you can build one anywhere but the free ones can only be placed ? Idk
I think it's worthy of a Captain question
Edit 2
Actually I think it just means you need to be in control of the TTy it places at the start of your turn, so Iraq back to full on bowl up

@johnnycat Good morning JC. Looking at your turn, you don't need to redo it. But two things:
-
It appears from how you placed your U-Boats around UK that you think they can block naval movements but that's not true. U-Boats/Subs & Transports don't block any ship movements. It won't matter during my Russia turn but on your J turn, use Edit to re-locate your U-Boats if you want. Or I can do it for you on my USA turn before I start doing stuff.
-
I feel like I need to let you know ahead of time about a few rules specific to China as I think it matters alot for what you do with your Indochina stack. So China is not allowed to move outside of China except for two territories which are Hong Kong and Burma. So my Chinese hordes cannot touch you when you are in Indochina or if you move to Shan State or Siam. But if you move to Burma or Kwangsi then I can.
Taking kiddos to school so will be awhile before I post my R turn but had a few minutes to type this out
