Or, don’t, and pull a nasty (cheap?) move on your opponent as the neutral that is no longer neutral looks like a neutral still, even though it’s not. I know that’s hard to understand, but it sounds cool so I’m leaving it :lol:
-
Oh, and don’t wait. Use edit mode to change a pro-Allied neutral to Dutch right now. Interesting color :-D
-
I learn so much from this thread. :-D
-
I am sooo happy :-D

Once again, I ask if the USSR moves into US occupied Korea but the USSR is still neutral w/Japan but at war with Germany, then Japan cannot attack Korea with out DOW vs Russia? Right? And the fact that Japan can attack the US but not Soviet troops in triple a is a bug?
Thanks

Yes, Japan must declare war on the USSR because you always have to be at war with all land powers you are attacking - territory controller and unit owners
You can NEVER attack only some units on a land territory according to the rules - Triple A screws that up, yes

With league growing, maybe we should talk about the league rules.
I’d suggest changing the language in Rule 5 from a 72 hour turn time to a 96 hour turn time. I might resent it if I was bumped after 72 hours but probably less after 96 hours. 5 days (120) might also be worth discussing.
Thorny issue. 72 hours is plenty for a France/Anzac turn but inadequate for a USA/China/UK turn.

Obvious answer is different times for different powers.
-
Maybe 72 hours for Russia/Italy/Franceanzac. 120 hours for Germany, Japan, USA/China/UK.
-
Problem with that is sometimes Russia and Italy turns require long-term planning. So I might want 96 hours on those too.
-
Good suggestion, Zhukov, and we will re-consider every line of the league rules at the end of the league year.
I am not aware of any complaints from anyone who’s been bumped to a loss. In my observations, when people give 72 hour bumps they are usually warranted. Most players even after recording a win due to bumps will voluntarily continue playing the game and change the official result if they end up losing.But that said, I think the official limits deserve another look. Myself, I’m not sure about the 9 day rule. 4 bumps takes 12 days. I think the single absence bump should be like 14 days. Anybody else have thoughts on the subject?

That is, in the event their bumped opponent returns and wishes to continue playing.
No one likes to be bumped, or bumped to a loss, if they wanted to play and just weren’t able or whatever, so we are very sensitive to this issue and would listen to protests. On the other hand, of course, the bump rule is there to protect us all against abuses.
No one ever claims a win due to a single 9 day absence anyway. Many players wait about 3-4 weeks of absence before claiming a win.
-
A question about the rules, it isn’t allowed not to place your purchased units when you can right?
-
Right. And if you accidentally bought more units than you can place, you are refunded your money for the excess units.
Do you have access to the rulebook? I can provide it for you if you don’t.
-
No its just that my opponent suddenly places units he bought in previous rounds. He didnt place thema cause they would have been killer easily
-
Yeah, you can’t do that
I actually don’t see it stated in the rulebook, but Krieghund, the rulebook in the flesh, has said you must place all units that you can place.I see also the rulebook says complexes are never destroyed, but this isn’t true. Any time a complex in China is captured by the Allies, it is destroyed.
-
It IS pretty clear from the rulebook that there can’t be carryover of units from round to round, however, as it mandates the refund of excess units purchased.

There is a TripA bug that if you purchase a facility upgrade that can’t be placed, it wont refund the cost either, for what it’s worth. I know this one from experience, I was playing at a different resolution and clipped the upgrade major rather than buy minor and got hung up.

Thanks for mentioning this. New people such as myself who don’t know the unspoken etiquette around here might think bumping after an opponent’s nine day absence is acceptable.
-
Maps, it is acceptable to claim a win after a 9 day absence.
If your opponent comes back on day 10 and begs to continue, technically you don’t have to, but I’m pretty sure almost everyone would let them continue in normal circumstances (if he has been jerking you around all game)
