@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.

@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.

@Adam514 and @trulpen Thank you.

@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?

[Adam514]

@Karl7 G1 bomber or transport buy prevents SZ92 stack.

[Karl7]

@Adam514

So Italy takes Alg, then Germany blitzes 92 is not longer in favor?

Or is that the bomber?

Also, what does the trn do? Soft sealion?

[Adam514]

@Karl7 The threat of Sealion/SZ92 attack prevents the UK from defending both enough

But in either event a G1 full navy build is off the table.

[oysteilo]

in BM I think the sz 92 stack is shiite for allies, okey in OOB I think.

Oh? Why? I’ve found it somewhat effective in the past.

[oysteilo]

It’s not absolute, but in most situations the british has to leave the med in round 2.

Assuming the british get a bid of 6 i think Taranto is better. In most situations the italians will take Greece in round 1. Taranto allows a plane stack at Malta. It kreps the italians honest round 2. If the BRITISH leave the med the objectives are lost and italy and germany gain theirs

Interesting, usually the Brits stack 92 and then move against Italy. Sealion is off the table since Germany would not buy a fleet G2 w/UK fleet in 92.

except if you’re Karl, in which case Germany would still consider sea lion (yes, you have sea lion’ed my 92 stack in the past lol)

[DizzKneeLand33]

Refresh my memory, I thought when bidding if you place a land unit it has to be where another land unit already exists (this may also be true of sea units). Did this rule change sometime in the past 5 years? :)

Of course, I’m talking about bidding an inf to NG, since that was always the main issue.

[DizzKneeLand33]

If it’s legal, no worries, just consider me to be permabidding that one for now on :)
