@Pejon_88
Are you sure that you have messed it up?

Just a question - because it is a well known TripleA issue that the software does not always take out the units with the least remaining movement points. Better check what TripleA has done…
When during combat move phase all of your units have a safe landing spot - and after the battles a unit is left that has no longer a valid landing spot, you can be sure that TripleA did a suboptimal choice.

@Amon-Sul I apologse. I don’t seem to have a landing spot for one of my planes. How would you want to solve it?

I re-do my whole turn make the battle in SZ62 non-allowed and you keep your transport etc. let one of my planes crashland Other?

@zarhunter said in L26 BM zarhunter (X) vs discalced (L+18):

@discalced
I guess the only downside is that Japan can convoy and blockade russia?
Plus losing France turn 1 was a bad omen.
You please post results, I am not sure where it goes and the proper format. I will start up again probably tomorrow.

Losing France was really unhelpful. Never experienced it before, but I imagine a tough thing to recover from. Germany needs those PUs.

In BM, Russia does get some extra PUs if Japan doesn’t place a naval unit in the SZ adjacent to Far East (iirc).

I think that you had your J navy in a disadvantageous position…you want to threaten the USA. Also, you probably want to have more of a presence down by FIC and the DEIs. The DEIs matter a lot for Japan’s income. Most folks establish FIC; China cannot attack there, and it can be a critical hinge for what Japan wants/needs to do.

I will post the result.

For our rematch, swap the (bid) sub from 98 to 91, otherwise the same.

Danke, nein Scrambling.

Bitte achte darauf, die amphibischen Angriffe zuerst auszuwürfeln und, falls nötig, zunächst die erforderliche Seeschlacht.

Du hast mit Japan das russisch besetzte Amur angegriffen. Damit hast Du die Mongolenregel ausgelöst, und die sechs mongolischen Gebete und die sechs Infanteristen werden sofort nach Japans Zug russisch. Wolltest Du das? Falls nicht, kannst Du das gerne zurücknehmen und etwas anderes machen.

Warum hast Du dorthin eigentlich einen Fighter mitgenommen - es gab gibt dort doch keine gegnerischen Einheiten.

Egal, ob Du Namur fortführst oder rückgängig machst - ich scramble nicht vor den Philippinen.
