EXP G40 Game 4 Trout vs JCat

@beelee thanks
Ok so the program I have on the Mac is different but I think I get it. 18 guys in the 1 army group and 6 armor in the 1st armor group for a total of 24 units.
Correct?
-
@johnnycat 1st AG is 6 (tank army) + 4 (1st commissar army) + 6 dudes + 3 arty + 1 mech = 20. 2nd Army is 1 commissar + 1 guard + 2 tanks =4. So somehow your total math is correct in that it's 24 for the AG and 2nd Army. Belarus has all of that plus whatever is showing up as being there
-
@trout thank you for das Clarification
So an army group is 10 land units plus 2 little armies. Little armies meaning : 4-unit OR 6-unit armor
So 20 units
But it could be 18 if your second little army was a 4-unit thing yes?
Cannot be 24 units ? 10 land plus two tank armies?
But the way
The confusion lies in the graphics. I am expecting to see some connection between what you have in the upper boxes and a clear unambiguous label down in the map and that is just not the case.Not complaining but suggesting that Whoever is in charge of that could benefit all by updating the upper box names and upper box label with the markers that are put on the map @beelee

This is becoming our most interesting game I feel

Now that I understand it I was very careful to fill up my two army groups this entire game. And it looks like I just made it correct with the Army group center being able to all move 2 while the army group north is slowed down by all the walking zombies.

@johnnycat Yep - after you learn all of the rules and the TripleA mechanics It’s a blast. Congratulations for sticking with it and graduating to the next level

From what I see I can take India, wipe our your USA fleet, and then figure we will HAVE THE GAME THAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO ...
What I mean is that even if these two battles goes as the odds say, this game will be far far from over.
Panzer and I were talking about this - this game just ends too soon to really use all that great stuff so we are hoping to play till turn 20-something.
Anyway, I need your order of losses for that armada that you currently have next to the Center of the Universe of the Rising Sun.

@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.
