well, at least we didn’t waste a lot of ordnance. amazing… average would have been around 10 hits. good thing that wasn’t an important battle…

let me know about that australian sub in sz78… if he’s legit, i will alter my NCMs slightly to protect the japanese transport. but i honestly think he was erroneously put on the board, probably on the starting map. he doesn’t show up on the alpha+2 listings, and i don’t remember seeing you buy a sub…

@BigBadBruce:

@Botider:

still wondering about the australian sub in sz78 … where did he come from?

It’s the original Sub, which moved to z54 at turn 1, then hold position, then moved to z41 during turn 3 and finally z78 at turn 4

yeah, that’s kinda what i was getting at. on the alpha+2 starting units, australia has no sub. here’s what i see on the rule chart for anzac:

New South Wales: 2 Infantry, 1 AA gun, 1 Minor IC, 1 Naval Base.
New Zealand: 1 Infantry, 2 Fighters, 1 Airbase, 1 Naval Base.
Queensland: 2 Infantry, 1 Artillery, 1 Fighter, 1 Airbase, 1 Naval Base.
Malaya: 1 Infantry
Egypt: 2 infantry
Sea Zone 62: 1 Destroyer, 1 Transport
Sea Zone 63: 1 Cruiser

do you have a different starting placement list? it ain’t on mine. i don’t really care… i will adjust my ncm’s if he’s supposed to be there. honestly, i didn’t even notice it until a turn ago, and then i only glanced back at your buys to see if i had missed something…

i think it is an inadvertent placement on the starting map, from either out of box rules, or alpha1 set. ??

that’s fair … i did post the first map, so i am primarily responsible.
i went back and looked at my alpha+2 starting map (which i got on the forums somewhere), and sure enough, there was an australian sub in sz47. promptly deleted and re-saved starting map.

two ncm’s changed… dd and bb go from sz42 > sz41, instead of to sz45. australia’s hefty bank account $6 lighter. thanks.

@BigBadBruce:

Ok. I like playing with you, I like easy way to solve whatever come up.
Note : Dont forget to delete that extra UK Cruser in z85

Have you seen the new module? Surrounding helpers are way too big, but the map itself is very, very nice.

i haven’t seen it… do you know where it can be downloaded?
btw… enjoying the game, too. most folks on here are pretty low-key, but every now and then you run across a win-at-all-cost type. i like laid back, easy-going, it’s-for-fun atmosphere here…

the sz85 cruiser i caught. and the missing air base in southern italy i caught. but for some reason, that australian sub escaped my attention. he must have been submerged!  :wink:
