Germans regular : -1.00 British regular : -0.33I knew I could have left a Russian Infantry behind in Moscow but I decided it was better to send in all of them to reinforce Ukraine and deal with the likely loss of the Artillery. It’s not clear how adding in Neutral units to block a combat involves less GUI interactions than simply shuffling around a player’s own units. The Fighter leaving Livonia confused me as I thought it could not make such a move (even though it would be logical to do so), so I checked on the rules. This part of the moves for land units caught my eye: “Land units that begin your turn in contested territories can only be moved to territories that at the beginning of your turn were either controlled by your power or contained units belonging to your power”. I had been thinking that a retreating force could move into any territory controlled by their side, but this is not the case. A player might easily get caught out by this, especially in Russia, just like with the rule about hostile sea zones blocking Transport loading. You also mostly foiled my evil scheme to slightly expand the Italian income.

Round: 3 Puchase Units - Ottomans Ottomans buy 6 infantry; Remaining resources: 2 PUs; Combat Move - Ottomans 2 infantry moved from Arabia to Mesopotamia 3 infantry moved from Ankara to Mesopotamia 4 artilleries and 5 infantry moved from Trans-Jordan to Arabia 2 infantry moved from Smyrna to Trans-Jordan 1 infantry moved from Constantinople to Bulgaria 2 infantry moved from Constantinople to Smyrna 1 artillery and 10 infantry moved from Constantinople to Ankara Combat Move - Ottomans Place Units - Ottomans 6 infantry placed in Constantinople Turn Complete - Ottomans Ottomans collect 20 PUs; end with 22 PUsThe best example of the usefulness of removing one of your own units and adding a neutral to a territory would be the G3 withdrawal from Belgium. The concept is not focused on reducing GUI interactions - its purpose is clarity of intent and aligning with oob rules. It makes obvious the areas where your opponent declined combat but remain in the contested zone. Making it a standard practice removes the common occurrence that amounts to “I forgot to not attack with this/these units, sorry about that (sometimes) extraordinarily critical roll”. Not a huge deal in most cases so no biggy.
The fighter rule is on page 15, “Being in a contested territory has no effect on where a fighter may move.” https://renegadegamestudios.com/content/File Storage for site/Rulebooks/Axis Allies/A%26A_1914_Rulebook_WEB.pdf

@The_Good_Captain Just had an interesting issue come up in a different game I wanted to share. I needed to use Edit Mode to place Fighters in a space to attack since their implementation on this map doesn’t allow them to pass through a hostile territory. So doing this did not spawn an air battle in the contested territory, presumably since this only gets triggered in the code based on move actions. To get around this you presumably have to place the Fighters in some other adjacent territory so they can move officially moved into the target.

My only concern is that you’re essentially declaring “no combat” after the roll is made and I’m worried about some future accident regarding that particular order of operations.

@The_Good_Captain If your preference is that no dice ever get rolled needlessly, I’ll work harder to make that happen.

@The_Good_Captain As an addendum, my own preference is to always explain why Edit Mode was used whether I think it should be obvious or not, so I will still be posting avoided combat on my end.
