@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.

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?

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.

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  :-( .

[Jennifer]

@i:

You and another guy came back.

Zcion.  PM him and see if he still wants in on the tournament.  If yes, you two can be matched.

[i rock]

K I’ll pm him after school.
What do I have to do for a bid? Just send you a number ie 15?

[Jennifer]

@i:

Yes.  Both of you can send me a new bid if you like.  Just say" I Rock vs Tzion, 15 bid, +5 Infantry to Hainan" or whatever.  Same goes for Tzion.

[Jennifer]

BTW, please post your end game here or PM it to me, so I can keep the threads up.

1 week without a single complaint or issue!  AWESOME!  Thanks guys and remember to have fun!

[wheatbeer]

I have conceded game 3 to ksmckay (sorry again, it didn’t get a chance to go further).

Please offer him your congratulations and goodluck to all for the remainder of the tourney  :-D

Supposition:

If you move fighters into a far flung combat and declare that they will land on existing carrier in its non-combat move, but the carrier must move though another combat zone which the attacker loses and is still hostile on the carriers non-combat move, then, if I read the rule right, the carrier must still be move and be destroyed.  See p. 27, Europe 40 Rule.

Do I have this right?

Thanks

No. The carrier can be move with any legal move you want. If the fighter doesn’t have another way to land, it will be lost during non combat move.

You have to have a legal “non-combat” move planned for every plane, you cannot send away suicidal planes. But during non combat move you are not committed to those plans. You can change your mind and make any other (legal) non combat moves you see it fit better. Another example of this, you can loose the Carrier during the combat and any left over planes that can’t land aftger battle will be lost…

In clear, you are allowed to take AC first in order to continu battle with better dices… even knowing planes will be lost anyway if they lack of landing option.
