Oh yeah, I agree with both of you, @insaneHoshi and @JbuckBuddy, I think that is the proper interpretation of the rule. I was merely pointing out that the way it’s written leaves this question completely justifiable to have been made, as that’s how the rule reads as written!

@ghetty We don’t have the elite fighter expansion yet but it looks like a good one! I might try to make some thanks for the info

What were the Plan Z ships ?

Ya I read that. Thanks hbg-gw. Thought I missed something. Thought maybe co. Made a specific piece. Yes I do have as a National

@jbuckbuddy

My opponent seems to think this includes Bengal and Burma but I wanted to be sure as I always thought of Burma as a separate country from India, however at the time it was a province of IndIa I believe. Any help or input would be appreciated. Thanks.

This doesn’t really add anything to the rule set, but just a bit of background. Burma was part of the Indian territory until 1937, I believe. Then Burma became it’s own colony under British rule and separate of India.

So I’d actually always assumed the Gurkha rule did not include Burma, so I’m happy this question was asked and answered since I was wrong in that assumption!

@trig said in Can submarines move through enemey channals like the suez Channel in combat move:

@hbg-gw-enthusiast
My suggestion would be to have that sub moving through Suez wait to enter 83, and then raid in it. That would show you can seperate moves, and don’t have to do them sequentially.
Also, what was the point of the transport in 85? I didn’t see where that came up.

I was going to have the Japanese use their Surprise Attack ability to grant that submarine one more movement to go after the transport in 85. Maybe I’ll make the transport in 85 two naked CV’s instead.

You should probably also mention scrambling and maybe something with MAP, do cover all the bases. Maybe there is a plane on MAP in 82 or something to do with that in another spot? Just to show how this also applies during wartime moves after the DOW.
Overall, looks good! I would also probably mention some other possibilities, if say, GB does DOW and how that would work with screening forces.

Great ideas!

I really like the use of this system for all moves, and will definitely “house rule” it in.

I believe in the game designers and hope that with time, this system will be officially adopted! Other than the two GHG videos, this is how I would have thought the rules work as written.

Yes it’s right.

@chris_henry said in Latin America at War - War of '41:

No worries, didn’t think you were saying that! Sometimes I feel like a complain too much about these same issues on the boards, it probably makes me look like I enjoy the game less than I really do haha.

Naw. I get it where your coming from. We went through same thing. Lol. Or maybe not. Lol

@didier_de_dax Thanks!

Germany can send Lend-Lease to Vichy (Rule 14.4.3), but you cannot lend lease facilities, only IPP or Militaty units as was pointed out (Rule 7.9).

Furthermore, Vichy has no separate income since Germany receives income from all Vichy land zones (Rule 14.4.2 and Vichy QRS) and no build table, so its pointless to send IPPs.

Therefore, the only way that Vichy can get new units is through its Recruitement rolls or Lend Lease from Germany (and no other Axis power).

Thanks for your answers !

@hbg-gw-enthusiast said in Lightning War Question:

Question 2: If you are using optional rule 10.2, then yes.

Doesnt there need to be an airbase there?

Hoshi, you are so meticulous and clever! You are absolutely correct. There is no airbase in the Netherlands, so my answer is WRONG. Great catch, my friend. 8 )

@trig Wow. I never would have noticed the black center on those roundels. Thank you for that. And the links. And the explanation. (The Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen went from possibly the most boring flag of all time to a pretty cool one in one decade!)

@noneshallpass Your write-up is the definitive reference for Axis players deciding how to approach a Declaration of War on the Dutch!

@insanehoshi Always something I haven’t thought of in this game that pops up. I hadn’t really considered hoarding IPP to utilize the lower unit cost that first turn after war starts!

I was going to suggest the same thing as @Noneshallpass too. You can leave a smallish screening force on the borders to prevent any deep penetrations right away. Enough to hopefully make blitzing unrealistic. It might cost you a decent amount of militia, but you can keep your more important units intact that way at least.

Sweet! Well, maybe I’ll give it a day or two to see if anyone else shows interest.

I know I would like to start a game soon, and would be happy to post something. Once we’re all vaccinated and can get together I think we’d like to get one going! I have a 10 month old now, so will be harder for a while, but the game is meant to be kept up anyways haha.

I’ve seen a lot of guys in the past post turn by turn action, and sometimes it’s just a post game wrap up. But I think a lot of people find them fun to read, and can probably glean a lot of tips that way too.

@chris_henry A thought of mine is that even if separate threads are made, we could have a pinned thread with links. That would allow somewhat easy access without tons of overlap.

@Trig That’s a good point, that would also work, and is I suppose the most realistic scenario. I might still ask Dave what he suggests, but that is a good idea!

@generalhandgrenade thanks GHG, as always!

Very interesting perspective. While I totally agree with your points, I was assuming you were going to talk about a lot of tangible in-game situations. Yes, of course there’s an exchange of resources that obviously doesn’t do the Allies any favors, and some movements will be made easier for the Axis and Comintern. But besides that, I was struggling to think of anything HUGE.

But you’re talking about intangibles, which is a very very good point! It’s such a large part of the game. Another thing that makes every game unique, isn’t it? I know with us, a play group that typically consists of my twin brother and dad, we most definitely hold grudges for backstabbing or alliances formed against one another. I think it most definitely comes into play!

Thanks for the input.

Home depot has some good options, I was able to get this HDX 65-Compartment 5-in-1 Small Parts Organizer for 7 bucks on sale. I should have gotten more.

@jbuckbuddy I think that’s probably the most accurate interpretation. I was going off that one quoted text I had in my first comment, but even that wasn’t a guarantee. I think that’s how I’ll play it too, unless an official ruling comes along stating otherwise.

@insanehoshi thanks for your answer !
