Champinoman (Allies) vs Thurhame (Axis) 1940.2 Global

[Thurhame]

No scramble. Those tacs would slaughter me, and I still have a slight advantage on the ground.

Take the bomber as first casualty.

[champinoman]

I have roughly 40% chance here, c’mon dice!!!

[champinoman]

Made a small edit during the placement stage of the British. I forgot to move a sub from SZ81 to SZ98 during NCM so edited it in.

And a question for you. TripleA allowed me to ‘buy’ 1 infantry during the Chinese turn. However I couldn’t figure out where it could be placed. Was there somewhere I could put it? or is this a small TripleA bug?

[Thurhame]

It’s not a bug. According to the rulebook, if you wind up buying more than you can place, the purchased unit is discarded and its cost refunded to you at the end of the turn.

[Thurhame]

Wait, did you just kill my big transport stack again? I thought they were out of range! :cry:

p-edit: I don’t see the refunded cost in China’s treasury. I think TripleA just leaves the purchased unit in the production queue for next turn. Not precisely by the rules, but in this case it doesn’t really matter.

If it later turns out both the unit and the PUs disappeared, you can edit it back in.
