@gamerman01 I think he’s looking how to link to the dice server. Myself I don’t no

[barnee]

Here’s the link to Marti https://dice.marti.triplea-game.org/

If you hit “Play By Forum” once you start up triplea it will have a “Register” button that will take you there also.

The first round of hotseat just finished!
We have no one signed up for G2 or anything else in round 2!
League players who haven’t participated yet are preferred, but I won’t wait too long and open it up to round 1 participants, -

This game should keep moving, or the hot seat turns cold! Go see the pinned thread, OR find the game thread and hop in.

Advisable to announce you will play before starting, so that you aren’t doing it at the exact same time as someone else.

Germany has a couple extra bombers for G2!

PtV-question:
Can US take over dutch territories (via NCM) or is it only possible for UK/ANZ?

[gamerman01]

It’s a special relationship between UK/ANZAC and Dutch

USA can’t take control of Dutch

[gamerman01]

Page 38, 39 of Europe manual,
No such statement under USA

PtV did not change this rule from OOB, that I know of @Adam514

[Ghostglider]

Thank you for the quick reply.

[ArtofWar1947]

@Ghostglider

According to p. 9 of the Pacific Rules: The US (or any power) can capture and control a Dutch territory after Japan has done so, but this implies via a CM.

[Ghostglider]

Thank you - In this particular game Japan has not been bold enough to attack that far away from the mainland!, but thank you for the clarification - I might need it later in the game! :-)

[gamerman01]

To be sure,

USA can land on or occupy Dutch territory in noncombat movement, just can’t take control

[666]

Haven’t played OOB in years. Seeing bids +45 etc… seems crazy.

[crockett36]

@666 AndrewAAgamer gets the credit for that! We at Allied HQ thank him for giving us a fighting chance. How it went on so long with those low bids is a testimony to how comfortable players here are with the Axis winning most of the time.

Can we ask the follow up question, does this make sense? We have bm and yg and bb. I can’t get the play tester hat off no matter how hard I try.

It does to some degree because it stops USA from coming in and claiming Dutch New Guinea in particular, then being able to put a naval base down there. I don’t mind the rule the way it is.

@simon33 And yet t.here’s a 45 to 60 ipc bid

That isn’t because of the custodianship rules though.

[crockett36]

@simon33 But it’s an easy common-sense fix.

What do you mean? USA should be able to take the money islands?

[ArtofWar1947]

@simon33

My understanding is that the US can take control of a Dutch territory after the Japanese seize control.

[crockett36]

@ArtofWar1947 I would amend the rule to say the US take control after declaration of war or a state of war is declared between the western alliance and Japanese empire
