You can’t place 4 Chinese infantry on Hong Kong because it is not an original Chinese territory.  Choose a different placement.

[gamerman01]

Zhukov, this game is over and I can demonstrate it.

Triple A has me with 100% odds on Hong Kong with 16 out of 26 units remaining

I will kill the guy in Kwangsi

I will block off the USA fleet from Hawaii with 3 surface ships

I will make sure Kiangsu is safe from take back.

Do you resign?

[gamerman01]

You do have a 5% chance of sinking the fleet in Z33, which would make the block of Hawaii impossible

However, that would only be prolonging the inevitable, wouldn’t it?

I’ll play Italy when I get back, so you can certainly play ANZAC and try to get lucky again…

I might have made a mistake.  Now I’m getting 98%

[gamerman01]

Whatever - play it out to the bitter end if you want - I’m not trying to offend you, just looking to let Ghost back in on the action.  Like you said, he’s waiting

May as well play it out.  There have already been a few moments in this game where a low-odds outcome has dramatically altered the game situation.  Besides, Hitler sent FDR a confidential cable that he wants the Chinese and the Japanese to destroy themselves to pave way for the 1000 year reich.

You still can’t place 4 Chinese in Hong Kong.  You need to place them somewhere else.  Could affect Germany’s turn, so I guess I have to wait.

Source?

If you’re correct I’ll probably want to redo the Anzac turn.

china can occupy hong kong but cannot place units there. it’s in the rulebook.

[gamerman01]

Just look at the China rules in the Pacific rulebook, Zhuk.  Page 8 or 10 or something.  It’s crystal clear.  Has to be originally Chinese

[gamerman01]

I guess I’ll let you re-do your ANZAC turn, but you should have known the rule.

[gamerman01]

NM, just realized I haven’t made a move since France/ANZAC, so certainly, you can amend their turn

[gamerman01]

Did you not read what I wrote before, though?  I said you couldn’t place Chinese in Hong Kong and needed to re-place them, yet you didn’t.  I had most of my German combat move done when I noticed you hadn’t done anything to fix China.

[Zhukov44]

@Gamerman01:

Just look at the China rules in the Pacific rulebook, Zhuk.  Page 8 or 10 or something.  It’s crystal clear.  Has to be originally Chinese

According to the 2nd edition rulebook, on pg 10, it says “New Chinese Units can be mobilized on any territory controlled by China, including those captured on the same turn”.  Also on pg 10 it says “China can temporarily control” Kwangtung.  Seems pretty clear.  Is there passage later in the rulebook that contradicts this?
