Its not possible to drive to two pro-axis neutrals with a mech? Algeria and Morocco in the same turn vichy style

[Shin-Ji]

I don’t think it would be, since first off, mechs can’t blitz.  And blitzing only happens in the Combat move.

[regularkid]

You can’t “blitz”/“drive” through friendly-neutral territory with a mech or tank on non-combat, even if the friendly neutral territory is unoccupied. You can, of course, blitz through hostile neutral territory if its empty.

With a tank

Kid’s answer is right

[gamerman01]

I did not actually edit Kid’s reply #162.  I was trying to quote it and must have accidentally clicked “modify”.  I returned his post to the way it originally was.

OK, great, all 3 playoff games that are still in the first round are still moving…… All at 10 rounds plus… these might be some of the best games?  I haven’t looked at any of them - yet, anyway

[axis-dominion]

and just like that, i’m finding myself confronted with 3 sea lion games in BM……it’s as if BM is out to prove something  :lol:

[Shin-Ji]

I’ve been doing it more in Balanced Mod games too.

Maybe it’s because without a bid, Italy’s navy sticks around?

It might have something to do with your greedy UK1s  :lol:.

[axis-dominion]

never mind, make that only 2 SL games, roboto declined my invitations haha

well i think it’ll be interesting to test SL out in the mod version, see where it takes us. i find SL games particularly fun

If sealion seems more attractive, it may be because Germany’s other options are not necessarily as slam dunk as they once were. Also, J1DOW is not as overpowered. Also, Axis Dominion’s UK is a greedy mofo and had it coming!

[MrRoboto]

No bids means danger for Cairo, serious danger.

Maybe many Balanced mod Allies player are investing too much to strengthen the position in Africa / Middle East, which makes Sealion very attractive

[regularkid]

actually, I think the Axis Dominion game will be my first League BM game involving a sealion. . .

[majikforce]

Can anybody remind me how to roll dice in the forum?  Thanks

[MrRoboto]

It’s for example

“:“aaa 1@2 8@3 9@4”:”

(Without the " of course)

[Giallo]

Question regarding the pro alleis. If Germany wants to pass trough Northwest Persia. It has to conquer it and next turn they can move on right. At the start of Germany’s turn nwp is still pro allies. So they can’t blitz trough?

[Adam514]

Germany can blitz through NW Persia because NW Persia is an enemy territory simply. It’s the Allies that can’t blitz through pro-Allied territories and vice-versa for Axis.

[Giallo]

Ok thank you, and if the Caucasus is still russian, can uk first take nwp with an inf and then ncm a tank to the Caucasus

[Adam514]

Nope that’s illegal. A useful trick to see if something is legal or not is if it’s possible to invert the order of the moves (since all NCM moves are simultaneous). In this case, the tank can’t reach Caucasus since NW Persia is still pro-Allies, so the move is illegal.

[axis-dominion]

on US turn i DOW on the neutrals, and i see triplea is letting me fly planes from india to moscow (over afghan)…this is legit?
