The_Good_Captain (Axis) vs. VictoryFirst (Allies) | North Africa, Rommel's Last Push
-
@VictoryFirst the british must lose the armor and one other unit. Which other unit would you like to lose?
-
@The_Good_Captain Let’s lose the AA gun.
British return fire, all 9s and 10s of land units are rerolled, equivalent to rolling a d8.
UK fighter [dice 1d10<=5]
Matilda [dice 1d8<=5]
UK antitank [dice 1d8<=3] targetting tanks
UK infantry [dice 6d8<=3] -
1d10<=5: 1; Hits: 1
1d8<=5: 5; Hits: 1
1d8<=3: 4; Hits: 0
6d8<=3: 4, 1, 8, 2, 7, 1; Hits: 3 -
The Germans must choose five units that die, can be anything
-
@VictoryFirst even after the extra mine hit, we both should have hit roughly four… huh. what a mess. our games have been very swingy lately. I’ll keep the air and the anti-tank gun. I think that is the end of the “push” part of the game.

@The_Good_Captain Yeah that was quite an unlucky battle for you. But it’s only round 3 so anything can happen still.

Malta convoy isn’t adjacent to Malta, I have that fixed in version 1.5

I just realized we made a rules mistake on round 1.
I attacked Benghazi and Mersa Brega with one scout car each. The Supply Raider ability destroys one supply, but you also need a supply to defend against the attack, which I forgot. I only removed one supply from each territory while it should have been two.
-
I think if you remove two supply from Benghazi, that would fix it. I’ve looked at the history and I don’t think this had an impact as you always had enough supply for your attacks.
-
@VictoryFirst ah, I found part of the problem and sorry I didn’t see this earlier. You can only deploy one mine per territory per turn.
“You may either deploy or upgrade 1 token in each such territory in each turn.” Page 14
It’s too late to go back to the early turns but I will ask that one of the Tobruk mines disappear. I have no issue if you want to adjust your entire purchase/turn.
-
@VictoryFirst also, are there the black “axis” mines somewhere? I captured a mine in Bir-Jal and need to convert it.
-
@The_Good_Captain I am not sure about the mines. I think if the limit was only one mine per turn, it should have said “You may either deploy or upgrade 1 token each turn.” and not “…in each such territory in each turn.” That sounds like the limit is just one per territory and the limit resets every turn.
Should we ask Krieghund?
-
@The_Good_Captain No, I removed the black mines because the land mines are technically generic. And also this way it is much easier to check for the land mine stack/piece limits. Otherwise there are two separate unit types. In that case, mines would have to be placed via triggers in Sahara Desert 1 just like the supply and the sea mines to get the total number of units on the board, and this would make the module even more computation heavy. But it could be done though. If you really liked the Axis mines, I could put them back in.
-
@VictoryFirst we can ask no problem.
However, I am confused as to how you’re confused. The rule is not about deploying a single mine each turn.
It’s that you cannot place two mines on the Tobruk border on one turn. You can only place one mine on a Tobruk boarder per turn.
For example, on round 2 you placed two mines on two boarders of Tobruk. You also placed two mines on two sides of Bir Hachiem. You should have only laid one mine from Tobruk and one mine from Bir Hachiem.
You can place as many mines per turn as you have territories/units to lay them. Limit: one per territory.
-
@The_Good_Captain Ah I see now. I got mixed up with “territories” and “borders”. You are definitely right there. I’ll redo the turn in that case (and remove mines I placed in earlier turns if necessary)

How do we discern who’s landmines are whose when we both lay them on the same boarder?
-
@The_Good_Captain You can use the comment log for that. If you go to View>Show Comment Log you can write comments. Every time you place a mine, you should specify which territory it came from. This way, if you are unsure whose mine belongs to who, you can take a look at the comment log.
It’s not the most elegant way unfortunately, that would be to have the border territories split up into two, which one half belonging to one territory and the other half to the other. Then you would know to which territory the mine belongs. I experimented with this but the mines don’t fit very well into a half-circle. They overlap and it looks very messy. So I decided to stick with the larger full circles and then using the comment log to keep track of the ownership of the mines.
