Gamer (allies +11) vs. Bold - game 2 of 2

Oh really?  Unnecessary?  Your move is illegal.  You can’t move destroyers to New Guinea or to Paulau.  Try again

[gamerman01]

Unless you are not attacking the subs, but it appears that you are.  Please clarify or fix your move

[gamerman01]

Actually doesn’t matter if you’re attacking the subs or not.

Moving the carriers and destroyers away from 6 or 35 is illegal unless they are going to conduct combat.

Apparently you never understood the ramifications and details of this rule??  Anyway, this move is very illegal.

@Gamerman01:

OK, as discussed, we will play this game by the rulebook, official FAQ, and errata - for consistency.

This means the loophole is not closed - You can move ships away from a hostile zone to avoid combat in the combat movement phase, but you cannot move ships away from a non-hostile zone (subs/transports) during the combat movement phase unless those ships are going to participate in combat or anticipate a scramble elsewhere.  Again, playing by the rulebook, official FAQ and errata as written, not as “intended”.

An apology may be appropriate.  We discussed it on facebook 5/31 and you asked that I post it to the thread.  This here is the very clear post to the thread.  I even explained it.

Said it twice.  We will play this game by the rulebook, official FAQ, and errata - for consistency.

same mistake again - bombers in london hitting 97 - so dumb.

[boldfresh]

why on earth were my german transports even in 97?

[boldfresh]

on the other hand, i guess a trade of a bomber for 3 useless german transports isn’t all that bad.

Not useless, or I wouldn’t have hit them.  I know I had second thoughts about it, but it’s the right thing to do.  I’m glad it wasn’t too costly for you since it was an oversight

yeah, not worried about it.  play on.
