Hi Alex

Yea you can't do the TakeOver because you have Italians in Tobruk.

Edit
I will look at making it so the TTys don't change if the conditions aren't met. If the conditions were met, most of the dudes would auto change for you.

You can test it out with the old save by not attacking Tobruk to see how it works.

Alexander

@beelee Thanks, I just thought it mattered at the start of the turn but looking back I now read that it's on Germany's turn not Italy's turn. First time doing this (and admittedly exicted if you can see what's coming in Germany's turn)

I reverted that one combat, updated version below:

game-2-alex-vs-panzer_operation-spring-awakening_it7-edited.tsvg

@Alexander

Right Arm

Yea it has to happen on Italy's turn because they won't change on Germany's turn in triplea. Only on Italy's.

So there can be rare instances where ANZC and technically France too, although I've never encountered it, where'd you need to hand roll and edit any results.

Edit
So it'd probably be easier to just redo your turn and edit the combat accoringly as opposed to changing all the dudes. Here's an example

Italian TakeOver Example.tsvg

The LCVs and Paras. although there aren't any in the above save, still look Italian but are German controlled.

You have to add up the income by hand and roll for any convoy damage, then adjust Italy income. On G's turn, you then transfer their income from Italy via edit.

Sometimes you will need to edit upgraded facillities.

Edit 2
Also Mines don't change ownership. So G will have to navigate them according to the rules.

Alexander

@beelee Sounds good, will change tonight...do unarmed mines stay Italian or do they change to German?

beelee

@Alexander

hmm ... I'm not sure about that . I'll have to check. Might have to ask the Captain. It seems they'd change as they are unarmed but Idk

Alexander

@beelee Thanks, I would assume that you would have to move/place them during the German turn as there is no Italy turn but figured it'd be better to ask first... corrected version coming soon

Alexander

game-2-alex-vs-panzer_operation-spring-awakening_it7_fixed.tsvg

Ok, I think I did it right now - I only needed to edit the landing craft to German manually.

(Did combat in edit to keep original rolls)

beelee

@Alexander

yea actually the LCVs are German controlled, they just look like Italian still. Paras do the same. I think I did it to keep track of the max builds. I don't remember.

But yea, can change them if you want.

Ciao Italia!
My wife will not be very amused, once she found out!
Take Over Italy shakes up the game and is in my eyes the stronges element of the EXP rules.

@Panzerstahl-Helm-0 Haha

Question: Does this symbol just indicate the transfer of the French forces to the UK (like the take over of Italy one), or does it actually represent the infantry and fighter? (Is there another fighter to worry about?)

beelee

@Alexander

Hi Alex

It just represents the switch. The switch needs to be made manually the way LL works. It doesn't auto delete, so you need to use edit.

I guess I could make it auto delete but as you have to fire up edit to remove the French dudes anyway, it doesn't really seem worth it

When do you split for JPN ?

Alexander

@beelee Thanks, that confirmation makes this crazy plan possible!

@panzerstahl-helm-0 A few items for the German turn

Russian Land Mines: hot! 2 inf will be edited away before combat rolls

Italian Naval Mines: average, 1 battleship will take damage before combat rolls

Would you like to scramble? (Either way I should wipe the allied fleet easily)

game-2-alex-vs-panzer_operation-spring-awakening_g8_scramble.tsvg

Alexander

@beelee I leave tomorrow late in the night (~28 hrs from now) so I may be able to squeeze in 1, possibly 2 turns before going AWOL

@alexander

Guten Abend!

Well done! That was an excellent execution of the take Over Italy!
This is a nasty feature of the game.
Will see how to tackle that and how it works out.

That spices up the game.

Full scramble

And save travels and enjoy Japan. You will love it.

Alexander

@Panzerstahl-Helm-0 Thanks mate! But I am starting to power down after packing all evening. I'll roll the dice when I'm back in a couple of weeks, enjoy the "temporary peace" lol

Yes, I have been traumatized by Italy 'can-opening' in the OOB rules - now this takeover situation is even more crazy to watch out for!

Will do, thanks again. I look forward to it!
