Europe 1940 v2 FMerwinrommel v Colt 45

[FMErwinRommel]

G2 will be sending at least 3 F and 2 TB to sink the CR near Malta even though you can’t scramble, because they are redeploying and it’s on the way to their destination. 
As proof that Malta or any isle without an airbase can’t scramble, no scramble dialog box appeared.  So it’s not an option.

[FMErwinRommel]

Regarding your claim that activating friendly neutral must occur on the entering units first movement space:  Europe 1940 v2 rulebook p. 10 Friendly neutrals and p. 22 Phase 4 Noncombat move; Where units can move; Land units, neither contain any such restriction.  There is a movement restriction on p. 34 under Transports, whereby loading units can’t move before loading or after unloading.  Nevertheless, I will edit the game at your request, as it won’t affect my plans.

Random dice may be more exciting than low luck, but both Triplea and WarClub Marti often roll extreme hits or misses.  Wish there were some middle ground option.  GER bombed UK with 4 bombers and half were hit by AA, 3 times the odds.  The remaining bombers and 2 TB rolled only 1,5,1,and 2 for a negative battle result.  In a prior game, 3 bombers suffered no AA hits and rolled 2 sixes and total damaged exceeded the 20 point limit.

[Colt45554]

Haha yeah im not a huge fan of bombing just because things like these tend to happen to me when i try

[Colt45554]

Even though I’ve been only selecting local game, it keeps populating your email when i check the PBF screen so I will only play that roman match on airplane mode and hopefully that fixes marti email issue

If i’m remembering correctly, a major IC can still produce units while damaged but each damage point minuses one unit capability from the 10 maximum. So i wont repair all damage but if im wrong hopefully you can let me slightly alter buy

Nvm to IC thing because i ended up placing zero units in England anyway. Not sure if im missing it in rule book or if its not made clear. It’s still early but I think this is shaping up to be a good, fun game!

[FMErwinRommel]

I haven’t received any more Roman marti emails since the first time.  Your statement on factory damage is correct, 10 capacity less 10 damage hits equals zero, then repair 5, can build 5.  My local playing buddy and I never build minor IC.  I’ve read strategy posts about building one in Egypt.  Since ITA has no transports and only 1 aircraft, Egypt is safe, since the ITA ground and GER air can’t attack together.  Interesting RUS pulling back not just from the border but from the frontline ICs and massing in 2 armies for counterattack.

Alright, Merry Christmas

Gamerman01 got back to me when I asked where I could point you to to show a unit’s entire move must be used to activate a pro-neutral and he told me to go to http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=30776.0 but that doesn’t exactly address the case either. Here is the pertinent quote from the link

1. You can’t move a tank through a friendly neutral that you just activated
     a) You CAN blitz strict neutrals and unfriendly neutrals
     b) You also can’t non-com mech or tanks through the friendly neutral that you just took control of.

This situation mostly applies if the Rus player tries to go south and blitzes NW Persia to attack Iraq for national objectives

In case UK has a death wish and attacks SZ112, GER will scramble 2 TB.  If UK has a second death wish and attacks Bel Congo, OOL (as per standard agreement) INF first, then ART.  But I’m sure you have better use of your air force.  I’ll be interested to see what you do in Africa.

[FMErwinRommel]

Gamerman01 4) says you can take a friendly neutral with a tank or mech and he doesn’t qualify that with any limitation on second movement space.
