11L '41 Gamerman01(x) v JWW(12) no tech, 14 VC's, Game 1

[gamerman01]

AA fire
3.22% chance of losing 3
3.55% chance of losing 3 or more

Of course, that is one very very critical 3%er that I won

Then the odds of only getting 0 or 1 hits in the first round - about 9%

Yeah, that was a fantastic lucky break for me - not a moment too soon

Gotta eat, then will play soon - yay, I have new hope!  Trying to keep J Dub from blemishing my 2011 record!!  :-P

@JWW:

this was the risky battle I thought

No way, man, flying five fighters over AA is much much riskier than an artillery on an infantry…  Tough luck - they both went badly for you…

I5 with 13, buy 3 INF, ART
It’s time for the Axis to push back…  I’m gonna turn this game around now  :wink:

Oh jeez, just realized that was worth 7 IPC’s to UK and it’s impossible for you to take back Egypt by UK6…  A big step in the right direction.  Denying the USA France is another huge step in the right direction, and then kicking Russia out of Europe, maybe for good, and getting the German NO back…  Jeez, I think this game has hit a major turning point.  :-)

Pummeled by your defense yet again, but I got the hits I needed.  Good enough….

Fra - 4 INF (Ger) Fuggedaboutit.  I see your carrier space in Z7 - nice try.
Z14 - FTR (Z13) Forgot about that German transport…  Guess I’ll try to save it…

Collect 8, 8 on hand

Nearly made the mistake of counterattacking the Balkans with the Italians…  Not always the best move to take territory just because you can…

I owe you a move!  Hopefully will get it in today, but if not will be tomorrow.  Probably today.

[gamerman01]

It is illegal to destroy the transport in Z51 and also make a combat move through Z51 to take the Phillipines.  You can only do one or the other.  Since Germany is next and is unaffected by Pacific things, you can resolve this when you’re doing your Russian turn.

[gamerman01]

It is also illegal to place the infantry in Chi.  You already have 3 Chinese units there.  The fighter counts as a Chinese unit.  I have placed the infantry in Sik.

I am leaving the Jap transport in 51 assuming you want to take the Phillipines more than you want to destroy the transport.  If you decide you don’t want to take the Phillipines and you want to destroy the transport in 51, just say so during the Russian turn, that’s fine.

2 illegal moves!  Gotta watch this guy!  :wink:

You need to opt to destroy the transport in Z51 or take the Phillipines, you can’t do both according to the rules of the game.
You also cannot place infantry in a Chinese territory that already has 2 infantry plus the flying tigers.  Your only legal placement is in Sik.  So this map has a Jap transport in Z51 unless you destroy it and revert control of the Phillipines, which was worth 7 IPC’s, and it has a Chinese infantry in Sik instead of Chi.

You should ask Krieger about this one, but I’m 99.99% sure that it is legal : you can ignore a tp or a sub at anytime ; it is not because you attack such a vessel (as long as there is no surface vessel with of course) that you cannot go through. Maybe you can see it as 1) I go through, ignoring the tp 2) I attack the tranny. But I’m sure Krieg will have better words than mine.

[gamerman01]

Don’t need to ask, I found the answer on the FAQ thread.  Had to go back about 9 months, but there it was.  Reply #681 has the answer.  This is a very confusing issue.

You are correct, Krieghund explained that all the movement is taking place in the combat movement phase, and then the combat of sinking the transport takes place during the combat phase after all movement is complete.  I had forgotten the answer to the question, and was still thinking that attacking subs or transports made those sea zones impassable or something, but that’s not the way it is.

Still, when you engage a sub or a transport, then there can be no bombarding.

It’s amazing how many little situations come up in this “simple” wargame.  Good catch, thanks Yoshi.  I counted that transport dead and it wasn’t like it was there to prevent a transport sinking/Phillipines raiding combo anyway, I was just trying to follow the rules and forgot which way that one went.  Again, good catch, and here’s the correct map.

But the Chinaman placement was still illegal!!!  :evil:
