Got a rule question: I (think to) know that you can purchase more units than you can build, decide at end of turn what units are placed (as many as possible) and the other units are transferred to next turn. Is this true and will it also be true if I loose that Power’s last factory = capitol before the mentioned “next turn”? What does happen to the remaining units, are they stored up to whatever next turn with a possibility of placement?

[AndrewAAGamer]

The units are not “stored” they are returned to the box and the cost of the units is reimbursed to you. TripleA does not do it that way so you have to edit it.

oha, thx for this enlightment!! I found it in the Game Notes now, too

Just for completeness:

Current prints of the rulebooks have slightly changed the wording to:

“In the event that you inadvertently purchased more units than
you can actually mobilize due to production limitations, you
must return the over-purchased units to the box (your choice
on which units), and the cost of the units is reimbursed to you.”

The only difference is the introduction of the word “inadvertently”.
This implies that you are not allowed to intentionally ‘overbuy’.

@Panther

second “oha!” That is important to know (so no exchangeable carrier buy as possible landing spot…)

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

@pacifiersboard now I see why you are asking…

Actually what is in the current rulebooks derives from the official November 2014 FAQ-sheet update, when this Q+A had been introduced:

“Purchasing Units
Q. Can I purposely purchase more units than I can mobilize with the intent of deciding which
units I want to keep based on the outcome of battles I intend to fight?
A. No. You may only purchase as many units as you will have the ability to mobilize after making repairs to any damaged industrial complexes. The rules for returning excess units are intended only for inadvertent over-purchasing.”

@I have a small youtube channel and can do a review of the balanced mod championship. I am currently reviewing the 22 semifinal match between AAAgamer and ABH.

Crockett has videos of 1 hour interviews with

I’m urging him to do more interviews (of league players, hopefully, and he’s talking about Larry?!)
and also perhaps to review games along with other players, especially with the players of those games.

Topic is pinned in the league section so it doesn’t get buried in here.

I will add to the list, there, as interviews are added.

Thanks @crockett36 , you are adding a new dimension to the league, probably the biggest splash since Path to Victory

I wish! No, that is me in my James T Kirk shirt. My sister drew that. It is from a school picture when I was 7.

NIce!

[crockett36]

@gamerman01 I’d be honored to do it.

I think there might be an appetite for “world champion” that might work well with the algorithm or something? I’m not a YouTube expert 😅

Does anyone have any idea how many copies of each game has been sold? That would give us an idea of how big a pond we’re fishing in and how big a lake 42 is?

[Stucifer]

@crockett36 Good question. i don’t think that’s public information. We’d have to ask Renegade/Beamdog directly, probably.

Thank you for the fast response.

Can a AAA “activate” a friendly neutral in P2V as well, or does the OOB “No” still apply on that.
