13L G40.2 Gamerman01 (Allies +9) vs. Jeff28 (Axis)

[Jeff28]

Not that crummy strategy isn’t playing a major role.

@Jeff28:

Getting tired of these awful dice

–Jeff

You have not been lucky this game
I look in my e-mail and see my infantry hitting, and even a defending sub hit…

[gamerman01]

Oh, OK, yeah now I’m looking at the game.  Got it working on this computer now…
You took a lot of big hits in Java and the sea zone around it, but otherwise everything went very smoothly…

[gamerman01]

How did you move a destroyer back from Z43 after attacking and sinking my sub?

Why did TripleA let you move it?

[gamerman01]

Well I hope that’s just an unusual glitch, like when a destroyer attacks a sub, because that’s disturbing.

I’m editing it back to Z43 from 36.

Do you want to change any noncoms as a result?

[Jeff28]

i just used the control button as usual to move air stacks, don’t know

doesnt matter your zillion lucky hits screwed up my non com plans anyway

[Jeff28]

I don’t have the time to recreate the board post combat so just change whatever it is.

If there is a triple A bug, maybe we should submit it to Veqryn for correction? How we do that?

[gamerman01]

@Jeff28:

That’s what I thought.  Actually, you probably used “shift” and it grabbed the destroyer and you didn’t notice it - all understandable.

Yes, this is an alarming bug, and Veqryn should be contacted.  I think I’ll run a test on it first.

Like I said, yes, I just edited the destroyer back to the Borneo sea zone where it has to be.
Sounds like you’re saying to proceed, then, so I will

[gamerman01]

I reloaded R6 and re-did the attack on Z43.  Shockingly, when I shift-click the fighter, tac, and destroyer in Z43 it does indeed select them all and allow me to move them back to Z36, much like you did.

I will test it in another situation.

[gamerman01]

Tried Java sea zone, with destroyer having one MP left.  It properly didn’t let me move it in noncom (and yes the destroyer and sub conveniently missed  :-))

Perhaps it’s only when you attack subs only - will do a 3rd test.

[Jeff28]

You think super subs has somehting to do with it? Like it’s a different unit he didn’t code into some non com rule or something?

[gamerman01]

Yes, it did it again.
I attacked the German sub in 125 with a destroyer and 5 fighters.  The destroyer had spent 2 of 3 movement points.  After sinking the sub, I was able to move the destroyer a 3rd space in non-combat.

I’ll PM Veqryn

@Jeff28:

Good thought, but no, I’m sure it has to do with programming the engine that you can ignore subs during movement.

[gamerman01]

I’ll be moving, I think, in about 20 minutes.

To be sure - you’re saying it’s fine for me to proceed and you don’t need to make any changes, right?

I’m not asking because I see some juicy target or opportunity as a result, I just want to make sure that you’re still OK with your non-coms and purchase placement, because there IS a change from the way you thought it was going to be (Destroyer in 43 instead of 36)

Thanks

[Jeff28]

its fine

[gamerman01]

OK, great - I’m about to pull the trigger on combat

[gamerman01]

@Veqryn:

ya that’s a bug alright

will be fixing

sounds like it only happens in a very very limited situation, so you won’t have to be on the lookout all the time at least
