EXP G40 Game 4 Trout vs JCat

@trout One more thing. I again read the rules about Carriers and Battleships together so I also want to confirm how this is done in a large battle like this one.
-
@johnnycat Good morning. I don't have the file open at this time but I remember that the airplanes in Kwangsi can reach due to the airbase but that's their max distance. Rules require that any planes participating in the fight have a legal landing place (unless they are being suicided via kamikaze and if you are doing that we need to check with Beelee as I am not sure how that works). So can't send all of them. You just have to work out your Combat Move to where any planes attacking the US Navy have a legal place to land before being able to fight. TripleA won't do that automatically for you. Of course any planes who can't reach from Kwangsi due to not having a legal landing place can attack India if you decide to attack there. I seem to remember that the landing space rules will make it close to mutual destruction or something approaching that if you attack the USN since naval battles favor the defense. Naval battles favor the defense since carriers defend at 2 and attack at 0. Transports can defend at 1 also but not attack.
-
@johnnycat For carriers/batts just need to have carrier hits greater than or equal to batt hits at all times. Some people on the attack choose to not send in carriers because of that rule, but if you hold them back and attack USN this turn, that will lessen your ability to absorb hits.
-
@trout I will record the dice rolls so you can see the order of loss.
To be clear, according to the rules, the 4 carriers that are able to get to the sea zone with the yanks means that I can bring 8 fighters.
And I can bring the Navy Fighter as well by doing that trick you did with the UK when I tried to Sea Lion you: I can purchase a carrier for it to land on!
So hoping for good dice rolls I guess cause it still is close
-
@trout Yea by buying that carrier my odds jump to 100 percent! Because that allows me to bring more planes.
OK India I need to know the land mine situation please sir.
-
@trout Here are the rolls for the sea battle
I am waiting on India for land mines rolls. THere are two color mines so I am not sure.
-
@trout
Something strange is happening here. I save the file and when I reload it is already running one round of battle.If there are no land mine hits then I can just proceed but if there is then I have to reset this battle. What to do?
-
Hi Cat
Here are where the LMs defend
It's unfortunate Mac doesn't allow the hover. I suggest making a Github issue as Mac, Windows and Linux should all work the same in triplea.
Document it heavy
step by step https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues
hit the green button for new issue
Edit
I am surprised this has never come up before. Maybe it has. Be sure to say what triplea version and your OS mac version as well, if applicable. I'm on a older ubuntu e.g.I know there aren't a lot of mac players and mac has been historically problematic with triplea, so your input will be helpful
-
So 4 Yellow LMs at Burma. It don't look real good for india
-
@beelee ok I roll now on the forum
-
-
Well that seemed to match what my battle calculators said and the numerous times I play tested it. But way lucky on not losing even one guy to the mines. I used to think mines were great - now not so much.

@johnnycat Congrats on getting your two early objectives of India/Egypt. Will be an uphill battle for me from here on out but game's not over yet! Rumors of surrender have been firmly rejected.

@trout WHAT? Surrender ??? Dude you still WAY IN FRONT, I am barely keeping up...

I wondered if you guys are aware of the tripleA battle computer sea zone battle flaw?
Because we “player enforce” taking transports last, the battle computer is way off.
I just wasted that USA fleet but the battle computer had it a tad closer I’m wondering if either of you know how far off it is?
Just take a simple example of you attacking with 8-fighters versus a 3-hit BB that is traveling with 6 transports.
IF the first three hits MUST sink the BB, then the TTs are sitting ducks...
But doing it the OOB way, the first three hits would hits transports and thus ensure two rounds of huge defensize rolls that would decimate the attackers.
I’m just curious how you guys calculate battle percentages given this flaw.

@johnnycat Scramble or no scramble for SZ 35 Mr. JC? That is the question.
