Allies (+16) vs. Axis (darkskies) Coop

[ItIsILeClerc]

Ai, this time it is I who must redo his turn, perhaps.
The allies attacked the neutrals… Now I know this does not turn Mongolia into a Pro-axis country (this never happens), but I thought they wouldn’t activate as well?!

If they DO activate I need to reconsider the Japanese turn.
I’ll save the current Japanese turn on my PC. If Mongolia shouldn’t activate we should continue with that save (Mongolia can be edited back to neutrality, I hope). For now, I’ll redo my Japanese turn assuming they indeed activate. Which I don’t want for now.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

The Mongolians should not activate now that I attacked the Neutrals.  If they do, I will not use the generated Russian troops and instead treat them as neutrals.

[ItIsILeClerc]

I just read the rules about this again.
Mongolia remains ‘strict neutral’ in all cases except when Russia attacks Korea or a Japanese controlled terrotory adjacent to Mongolia.
In addition to that, they can activate against Japan while strict neutral.
So I think TripleA got it right and we got it wrong. I’ll have to redo my Jturn. It will be all the same except for moving into Amur, ofc…

My understanding of the rules must have been incorrect.  I thought that a submarine would block the combat movement of destroyers.  Hmmmm, that was a costly misunderstanding.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

This is the rules that I had seen before… is this wrong for this version of the game?

Sea units other than submarines must end their movement when they encounter enemy units. However, they may move through if those enemy units consist of only submerged submarines. Destroyers immediately reveal submerged submarines, which ends the destroyers’ movement.

[ItIsILeClerc]

The way I see it, it works differently:
Destroyers immediately cancel a submarine’s ability to “treat hostile sea zone as friendly”. Therefore, submarines cannot move throug enemy SZ containing destroyer(s), but destroyers can move through enemy submarines, for submarines and transports do not turn a SZ hostile to the enemy to begin with.
Another tricky part for submarines is that unescorted TRS cannot invade (during CM) from a SZ with enemy SUB, but they can offload (during NCM). Escorts in this context must be warSHIPS (anything that could hit the SUB should it emerge, I suppuse, so I’m not sure if an ‘attacking’ CV counts).

Are you referring the the 6allied SUBs lost off the coast of FIC?
Consider that payment for the Japanese lost factory in Shanghai, a rule that I had forgotten. I slapped myself on the head for that ;-).

Apart from these rules confusions, I am pleased to see you are doing well, Arthur. Just hold on. Prevent Cairo from falling and try to threaten Paris/Rome at the same time and I think Germany has to make some tough decisions again. I already calculated that a possible (next turn’s) massive marching into Normandy/Southern France from the allies will be very hard to throw back. Maybe Germany can do it if they relocate their air now active in the ME, but this will weaken their positions there, ofc… Maybe this will even require the allies to loose (a portion of?) their fleet, but at such a huge cost to the bomberstack, that a subsequent liberation of Paris cannot be stopped anymore. So attacking the allied fleet may be out of the question still.
I haven’t looked at this turn’s save from the Wallies yet, but that’s the way I saw it before you moved. Now for my Italian move, let’s download the file…

[ItIsILeClerc]

It had required some different UK-moves though. Now I am not so sure you can take and hold Normandy next turn. Not a very big deal anyway. You are still outproducing Germany in the west and I must do something about it (reduce spending in the east)…

[ItIsILeClerc]

Two questions:
1. Are you committed about the allied fleet off Malaya?
If you want, you may move them out of danger (within legal range of where each ship came from previous turn).
2. Will you scramble if Japan attacks that fleet?

If you want to move them away you may also reconsider that ANZAC airbase as well.
An all out Japanese attack (with Carriers) will result in ~100TUV advantage for Japan, with ~9 surviving units…

I will double check before doing the Russian move.

I am keeping my fleet there since if I leave, I concede the game to Japan.  I will scramble if attacked.

I rearranged a couple of transports to escape the carnage.  Best of luck, the game seems almost over.
