Z60 taken with destroyer, 2 fighters

I noticed during noncombat moves that I see I did not list the attack of the transport in Z64.  :|  that brings up a good question, I have always allowed obvious walkins and transport autokills but that may not be what you do, and maybe I should not be allowing them.  What are your thoughts?  I’m leaving the transport there for now, but you can let me know how we will play it in general.

That’s right, LUCKY  :-)
Remember Z50 on J1?  :roll:

Your noncom’s pretty screwed up this time, Luck.  I figured out what you did using your map and I can tell it was all legal.

If you miss a walk-in or auto-kill it’s up to the defender to decide whether he will allow it.  However, if he doesn’t, he must consider that the opponent will probably be even more strict in return the rest of the game.

I’m OK with allowing this one because of the circumstances (your fighters are pretty much staying at home anyway, 64 is right in front of you - looks like you just failed to type it).

If the transport were more out of the way and not so obvious, I would not blame a player for refusing to allow.  So it’s case by case and the defender has full right of refusal, in my book.

Hmm I had the typing for the noncombat move all done for not taking a hit from either sub.  Once I took the hit in Z50 I had to start adjusting to a different plan!

I need everything I can get.  :-). Billy and Zhukov have been kicking my skull in on that same front.  :|

Makes it hard!  Sometimes I call it “the only front that matters”, although I realize that’s an overgeneralization….  Still… often it is.

seems to be true in all the games I’ve played!

I had to be careful with my wording because it seems I might be able to break through on that front and yet still lose…  Only time will tell us for sure what will happen in this game!  I will have to review my first 3 rounds to see how Japan got in such hot water so fast in 1941.  All I remember now is the debacle at Z50 on J1.
