L21 playoff OOB jkeller(X) vs trulpen (L+43)

@jkeller oh jesus…still getting used to these rules i played revised for so long. forgot you could do this little trick to prevent transports for picking up guys in combat

[trulpen]

Sorry, it’s evil.

[trulpen]

And they also have to move in CM or stay put. Perhaps you prefer the latter anyway.

[trulpen]

Not sure if they are considered to have moved during CM though if there’s a battle in z6 and they stay there, thus maybe even preventing loading during NCM. We have to mull this over.

[trulpen]

From the G40-EU rules, p 22 (NCM):

Transports can move to friendly coastal territories and load or offload cargo, unless they loaded, moved, offloaded, or were involved in combat during the Combat Move or Conduct Combat phase.

[jkeller]

Seems kind of silly that a single 8ipc dd can prevent a huge 251 ipc fleet with supporting air from loading and unloading. I get it those are the rules of this game but doesn’t seem logical in any way

[trulpen]

I agree, it’s rather silly.

[jkeller]

From my reading of the rules I can leave transports in the sz and they cannot move in noncombat but land units can board them in noncombat do you agree?

[jkeller]

"If a transport encounters hostile surface warships (not enemy submarines and/or transports) AFTER it begins to move (not counting the sea zone it started in), its movement for that turn ends, and it must stop there and conduct sea combat.

A transport can load units while in any friendly sea zone along its route, including the sea zone it started in."

From my reading after the battle is concluded (assuming side with transport wins sea battle) the sea zone is no longer hostile and it can load units

Unfortunately not, since they would have been part of the combat. Same thing if they leave during CM and load units, those units have to be part of an amphi during the combat phase.

I know, this kind of screws over Japan pretty hard. All for just a small boat.

[jkeller]

@trulpen I read through the rules a few times and don’t see that anywhere

[jkeller]

It only says they cannot move afterwards to load units. Presumably to avoid ridiculous situations like you propose where Japan cannot use her own home sea zone even though she in complete control of it

[trulpen]

It’s on page 22, in the Non-Combat Moves segment.

[jkeller]

It’s already kind of silly I can’t load in combat phase to not be able to load from home island in any phase even while in possession of the sea zone and enemy boats are clear would be really ridiculous and pretty much make the map unplayable

[trulpen]

I didn’t think of all these consequences when I built the des, but primarily wanted to prevent an amphi on Korea.
