G40 Tourney Discussion/question(s)

[Tyzoq]

I would change the 4 Games with forfeited players to Games 1,2,3, and 4.  Assume the forfeited players lost round 1 and move them to play each other in rounds 1 & 2 of the losers bracket…  this will give 1 person a forfeit win in round 3 of the losers bracket.

In the winners bracket Jim, Axisp, BigGoo, and BigBruce would be in games 1 & 2 of round 2 having won the first round by forfeit.  This essentially changes nothing and gives them and extra month to finish their games since they have already finished round 1

[Tyzoq]

If you felt like being nice and a forfeit player shows up at some point they would still be in the tournament in the losers bracket.

@Karl7:

What is the rule for US movment in Pacific before it’s at war with regard to

1. using friendly sea bases, i.e. like ANZAC sea bases
   Allowed.

2. stopping in sea zones with friendly ships, again like ANZAC
   Allowed.

Alpha 2, if I read correctly, says only that US can’t end movement next to Japanese territory
Correct.  So you could, for instance, sail one space away from Japan and be perfectly legal.

Pretty sure you are wrong on Question 1.

Neutral powers like the US can’t use naval bases belonging to other powers.

Here is a visual of what I’m saying for the undefeated bracket.  (I borrowed Darth’s lovely artwork from the AA50 tourney).

Question

UK has 6 SS in SZ 110 (no other surface ships or ships just 6 ss by themselves)

If I bring 1 surface warship + transports I can ignore the subs correct for an amphibious assault?
If UK choose to Scramble that doesn’t activate the subs against my transports and 1 Surface ship does it?
Would the scramble of planes only help defend against my 1 surface ship and any plans I may bring to that sea zone to defend my 1 warship?

[TheDefinitiveS]

Scrambling activates the subs.

[TheDefinitiveS]

More exactly, any battle in a sea zone will have to bring all units in that seazone into battle. Otherwise you are picking and choosing who is in the battle.

[BigBadBruce]

@Cmdr:

Pairings are going to be:

BigBadBruce vs BigBadGoo
Jim010 vs Axisplaya

Do I have to rebid? Do I have to wait to start game with BigBadGoo?

[Axisplaya]

You must rebid or tell Jennifer if your 1st bid stands.

No.  Based on this post, I will assume your previous bid stands.  All games have been bid upon and should either have started or start soon.

[TheDefinitiveS]

Jims bid is awesome.

[JamesAleman]

@TheDefinitiveS:

Jims bid is awesome.

Except it doesn’t add up to 31? I count 4 aagun’s listed, 2 inf. If aagun’s = 5 and inf=3 then that = 26 as listed.
Did I see that right? Must be missing an Italian aagun somewhere that wasn’t listed that would = 31.

It is a clever bid, if you really want to play the axis :)

Hey, can someone tell me where I can download the the files/map for G40? Is it two separate maps I need  to download or have they actually made a one-piece map? Thanks.

[Jennifer]

Software section.  Youi are looking for a module called T40.  It covers the entire map, has a section for the objectives, etc.  It even tallies up the convoy damage for you.

[General_D.Fox]

Hey Jen, I downloaded the files and put them in my Battlemap folder. However, the map doesn’t show up in the actual Battlemap map. Is there something I’m doing wrong? How do I get the world map to show up?

[Jennifer]

If you do not have the newest version of battlemap, try uninstalling the entire directory, rebooting, and installing a fresh copy.    I had to do that the first time to get all the newer directories to work correctly.

[JamesAleman]

I had to move a folder named G40 or something like that, its listed in the G40 forums if you need specific information.

[Jennifer]

So everyone is aware, if you do not type an attack in your combat moves, then the attack never happened.  I will assume pilots, naval officers and soldiers are incredibly lazy and/or cowards and will refuse to go without written orders. (So if you don’t include everything you want in the attack, you only have what you said you are bringing.)

In the case of not including everything you want in the attack, it could effect scramble orders, so this is to protect your opponent really.

In the care of failing to include all your battles, this decision is so I have something stated that I can point back to when I make a ruling.  It might not come up too often, and generally if it does, the two of you can work out the problem without having to call in for a ruling (or at least I hope you can!).  In most cases, I am sure your opponent will be willing to allow an added combat move if it is relatively harmless. (Forgetting to type an attack on an undefend transport, or to clear a destroyer blocking your allies or whatever.)

Damn it since I didn’t pit a bid in does this mean I’m out? I was busy with school and I forgot to PM you with my bid  :-( .
