[Cow]

doesn’t matter. you made me taking east usa easier.

[Cow]

I still have no idea why 5 subs are on japan…

@Cow:

shit, forgot to move them.

i had moved them in the save i sent you, but forgot about them after the scrambling battle.

Seth, will you allow me to move them to hawaii please?

[Veqryn]

noncom move fix: moved my subs to hawaii

use this savegame if you would allow my edit move of them to hawaii

[Cow]

If I take east usa and steal his income for a turn… you have no excuse to not win in the pacific. All you got to do is shove all your pieces, it is not a hard concept. The rest of the board doesn’t matter.

If you use your full income to take hawaii or new south wales and nothing else… and get everything for it… I promise you will win.

Like you can give up sino russia to get those units on a boat… you just need the VC to win.

no more editing please.

[Cow]

the game is going to end soon! I have a good feeling!

[Veqryn]

[Gargantua]

I can’t believe COW has a chance to pull this off, with no less than an Invasion of America!

This is going to be good…

[Cow]

you told me to take america so it was some tricky stuff and lots of rules to understand to get out of that baltic sea.

[seth4god]

Yeah, this was the part where I thought it could backfire. I wasn’t sure if you’d see the chance if I let you out of the Baltic or if you’d take it. (thanks for goading him Garg!)

I also saw another way it could’ve backfired and I could’ve lost the ICs and eventually the fleet for nothing. So I’m kind of glad you took the chance as at least now it’ll be over one way or the other. I just wish I hadn’t missed the two extra fighters coming in due to the landing spot in the aleutians, stupid eskimos letting Japan use their bush runways . . . . As I would’ve had a lot more stuff to use in the defense of US!

Veqr, I found a small bug

I only bought one ac in this test(I need to see things to really grasp things), but it gave all my fighters in Norway the range to hit sz109.

[seth4god]

Cow, I need OOL for sz109. I got 3 hits, I’m assuming kill a carrier completely and a fighter?

[seth4god]

So with that roll I have to ask, what’s the ruling on if one of my fighters actually survives? Do I HAVE to put one of the cvs off of Norway? Because that would totally suck . . . here’s hoping for MAD or one wounded cv or german fighter left over!

@seththenewb:

the game engine is not smart enough to account for Canals,

so it thinks you can move your 2 CVs to sz112 to pick up the fighters, and then build 1 more, for a total capacity of 6 fighters.

i re-wrote the code for air-movement-validation a while ago to be much smarter and much faster, but there are still things it can not do. 
if I was to code for things like canals, it could potentially cause the game to freeze whenever you made a fighter movement, due to the number of calculations involved in our route finding algorithms.

anyway, that is why you have to validate all naval-air-movement yourself when playing triplea.  the engine does a decent job, but it is not perfect (plus you can trick it by moving then undoing carriers, and crap like that), so just remember: validate your own air movement, and only make legal moves

that said, as far as I can tell, you can not move more than 2 fighters to sz109 because your carriers can not move past the canal to pick them up

which means your move is illegal…

[seth4god]

Take another look, my move is legal as I bought 2 carriers on the actual map I’m using. I’ll take the marti dice and forum posts off and move units around where I think they might be so I can better plan. Like I said, visual person … …  anywho that’s when I noticed I could bring more fighters in that fight.

[seth4god]

Sigh, you didn’t even download the real map . . . . and there you go saying my move’s illegal.  :cry:

[Cow]

kill one carrier tilt the other.

[Cow]

ugh… hey usa what did you buy to defend your capital?

[Cow]

ah I c, the naval defense for east usa… that is interesting.

[Cow]

oh forgot the rest of my ool

for now carrier dead tilt carrier.

next round of combat kill fighter then carrier then fighter
