2 Infantry, 2 Artillery to Aleutians

That’s impossible!

2 Infantry, 2 Artillery could make it from the island group.  There were transports there, at least, on the map you gave me.

The French Fighter I moved there stating that I was moving it so you could get from Italy to Germany without waiting for me to say “Move fighter to gibraltar”

So, your map was WRONG or did I have transports to move my units, because you dont have to attack transports anymore, you can move into a sea zone and ignore them.  (And yes, if the transports were still alive, as YOUR map shows, then the retake of the Aleutians was legal. If your map was wrong, I will have to review America’s turn to account for YOUR mistake.)

Here is the map YOU uploaded.  Look in the sea zone and tell me how many American transports you see there that YOU did not remove.

Per the tournament rules, the map you upload is the correct position of the pieces.  Therefore, by the letter of the law of the tournament, those transports existed on America’s turn.  Also by the letter the Fr. Fighter cannot move yet, but it’s relatively moot with 8 British fighters in Gibraltar, you are not attacking it, so it will be there on France’s turn.  Which, coincidentally, helps you out when trying to do Italy, but does not help me out at all.

Anyway…yes, America is at 72 IPC.  You screwed up the map.  If you want to be all accusatory and try to blame me for cheating.  After all, I am a little busy, I cannot micromanage and correct all your mistakes for you, I have a league to prepare for next year and a tournament going on this year, not to mention some games for fun.

I am also re-uploading my map with the Fr. Fighter moved back.  Unless you do something really bone-headed, the French fighter is going to Gibraltar.  (Currently it resides in London, where it has been for most of the game, if not all of it.)

I look forward to the emminant death of the Axis powers, and remind you, that you need to check your maps before uploading them.  You left the transports, so on my turn, I assumed they were not killed.  Since it is legal for you to withdraw attacking forces without killing the transports (that are units that must be hit to be destroyed, they just cannot defend themselves) then I figured you had done that.  It certainly would have a strategic purpose, as it moves the units off islands you might want.

I already conceeded that the French move was strictly illegal, it just seemed in the best interests of keeping a game moving.

Anyway, it’s been a hard few days, and I think I may have vented my frustration out here.  Your map was incorrect and thus, I should not have been held responsible, however, you probably just forgot to remove the transports after your attack.  Thing is, you jumped immediately into calling me a cheater - a very hot button issue after the slanders and libelousness of Mantlefan.

You claim you left mistakes on the map on purpose, which seems counter productive.  You can see how busy I am, I am so busy you had to give a reminder post so I remembered we had the game.

You realize entrapment is illegal in real life, I suggest using it here is, at best, unethical.  If you want to have France wait around and force you to give up a week of your life between Italy and Germany just so I can tell you the fighter moves to Gibraltar, then that’s fine with me.  I leave that decision to you.  Of course, if it were me, I’d rather just have the French fighter moved since it cannot possibly have any significant impact on the game board, except, it won’t be available to hit any targets since it has been declared out of order, and press on with Germany.

@BigBadBruce:

Oh! one more thing, I did take a screen shot of this page… in case a “server problem” would makes it disappear… again…

This has never been an issue.  Slanderous statements, libelous statements and trolling/flaming statements are always removed per site policy.  I don’t see your posts as such (unless some have been removed while I was hosting my husband’s surprise party).

I’d recommend avoiding any purposeful map errors and just playing the game.    You know, full well, I am quite swamped at the moment, so much so, you had to post a reminder so that I even remembered we had a game going.  On top of that, you want me to have the entire game board memorized and detail out every minor mistake you probably made that I was too busy to catch?  Sorry.  That ceases to be a “for fun” game, in my mind, and becomes a “job” game like League/Tournament.
