If I’m following this correctly, here’s a summary:

1. New Guinea infantry bid is not legal according to the posted default bidding rules for 2019
2. If both players agree to allow it then the default bidding rules can be ignored (ideally you should find this out before you make any bids)

It seems reasonable to have a vote on if league players want the default bidding rules changed, however it seems more appropriate to consider changing for the 2020 league rules as the 2019 playoff rules have been posted for a year now.

For what it’s worth, I prefer the existing rule that makes it illegal, but the most important thing is that there’s no surprise.

[trulpen]

To reiterate: It’s only illegal if the opponent doesn’t accept it. Simple as that.

I’m leaving signup for 2nd and 3rd playoff brackets open this weekend, so please wait a little longer. BobbaRossa actually did pop in and want to participate, and fortunately didn’t seem too upset that he’s #1 seed in 2nd playoff instead of in the main one. Stand by, 2nd and 3rd bracket players…

[gamerman01]

I already re-drew the brackets, but these could change again depending on who else joins in. Just giving you a tantalizing preview.

Thanks AD! Glad to be back. Think 2019 kicked a few of our butts ;) . Glad to see it in the rear view mirror.

[wizmark]

Hmm…not sure I’m quite so happy! A royal butt kicking coming I expect! Ah well at least I am sure I will learn a lot…

[simon33]

So are the playoffs right to go? @gamerman01 ?

[gamerman01]

Yes, the other playoffs may begin since I’ve heard of no dropouts or sign ins this weekend. I hope Odonis doesn’t mind terribly being in the 3rd bracket with a bye. 1 win over the winner of Sovietishcat and dawgoneit, and you can crown yourself king… of a small country

[gamerman01]

So these games can begin any time:

BobbaRossa and Wizmark
Simon and majik
trulpen and Giallo
AeV and Tizkit
Sovietishcat and Dawgoneit

I love the playoffs. Intriguing matchups that some of you might not otherwise choose.
I’m here to help if you don’t like each other and you have disagreements on gameplay, remember!

[Sovietishcat]

@Adam514 @Adam514 can you please help me here, so AetV brought a sub into sz 101 on its NCM with Germany; the sz contained a dd, cruiser and a transport; so on USA turn I chose to load a tank on the transport and moved the transport to Brazil without ; unloading the transport since I cannot claim the pro-allies Brazil in combat, I attacked the sub with my 2 cruiser, dd and fighter, than on the NCM, I landed my tank into Brazil from the transport that I brought in Combat phase. Is this a legal move or a glitch from triplea? thanks.

[trulpen]

@Sovietishcat I hope you don’t mind if I give my view of it. It’s possible due to AAA allowing it (glitch), but a break from the rules. A transport loading units in the CM has to unload those into battle during CM. The correct procedure is to load the tank during NCM and take Brazil during that phase.

There are some special instances were transports can load in a hostile sz, but it’s not in this case. The sub does only prevent loading if you don’t have any warships in the sz. In this case you also killed it off, so it didn’t impact the NCM anyway.

[Adam514]

@Sovietishcat A submarine doesn’t make the sz hostile. If you don’t conduct an amphibious landing with the transport, you have 2 options:

1. Ignore the submarine on the Combat phase, and do whatever you want on the NCM phase (take Brazil).
2. Attack the submarine, but that will prevent the transport from doing anything else on that turn.

TripleA allows the movement of transports in the Combat phase even if they aren’t used to conduct an amphibious landing, but that’s illegal.

[Sovietishcat]

@Adam514 and @trulpen Thank you.

[Sovietishcat]

@Adam514 can you please help me here, so I have 4 transports alone in sz 91 and the german fleet is in sz 112 and I have a fleet in sz 110. So the german player sends one sub in sz 110 as a combat and send one fighter at sz 91, so obviously I thought you cannot send a plane in a suicidal mission but because the german player intended to sink my fleet with his sub and then move the AC to land the plane in NCM… Is it a legal move? The sub did not win the sea zone battle in 110. So the AC is staying in sz 112.

The sub attack creates the possibility (however unlikely) that the fighter in 91 can land on the carrier. So it is a legal move. But I think we’ve all been there so I feel your pain.

[Sovietishcat]

@farmboy ok thanks, next time I’ll know!!

[Adam514]

@Sovietishcat Indeed it’s legal.

@Adam514
Hey!
What’s going on here?

Been buried at work so A&A’s taken a back seat.

Anyone find a good solution to the gibraltar airbase UK1 move?
