XPAD-01 Dairy Qyrn (AXIS) vs Team MountainHIGH

le bump

I can’t believe COW has a chance to pull this off, with no less than an Invasion of America!

This is going to be good…

Yeah, this was the part where I thought it could backfire. I wasn’t sure if you’d see the chance if I let you out of the Baltic or if you’d take it. (thanks for goading him Garg!)

I also saw another way it could’ve backfired and I could’ve lost the ICs and eventually the fleet for nothing. So I’m kind of glad you took the chance as at least now it’ll be over one way or the other. I just wish I hadn’t missed the two extra fighters coming in due to the landing spot in the aleutians, stupid eskimos letting Japan use their bush runways . . . . As I would’ve had a lot more stuff to use in the defense of US!

Veqr, I found a small bug

I only bought one ac in this test(I need to see things to really grasp things), but it gave all my fighters in Norway the range to hit sz109.

Cow, I need OOL for sz109. I got 3 hits, I’m assuming kill a carrier completely and a fighter?

So with that roll I have to ask, what’s the ruling on if one of my fighters actually survives? Do I HAVE to put one of the cvs off of Norway? Because that would totally suck . . . here’s hoping for MAD or one wounded cv or german fighter left over!

@seththenewb:

the game engine is not smart enough to account for Canals,

so it thinks you can move your 2 CVs to sz112 to pick up the fighters, and then build 1 more, for a total capacity of 6 fighters.

i re-wrote the code for air-movement-validation a while ago to be much smarter and much faster, but there are still things it can not do. 
if I was to code for things like canals, it could potentially cause the game to freeze whenever you made a fighter movement, due to the number of calculations involved in our route finding algorithms.

anyway, that is why you have to validate all naval-air-movement yourself when playing triplea.  the engine does a decent job, but it is not perfect (plus you can trick it by moving then undoing carriers, and crap like that), so just remember: validate your own air movement, and only make legal moves

that said, as far as I can tell, you can not move more than 2 fighters to sz109 because your carriers can not move past the canal to pick them up

which means your move is illegal…

Take another look, my move is legal as I bought 2 carriers on the actual map I’m using. I’ll take the marti dice and forum posts off and move units around where I think they might be so I can better plan. Like I said, visual person … …  anywho that’s when I noticed I could bring more fighters in that fight.

Sigh, you didn’t even download the real map . . . . and there you go saying my move’s illegal.  :cry:

Yeah, I can’t afford for you to take either CUS or EUS. And if I get real lucky I’ll have some fighters to land on Hawaii when this is done. Right … .  that’ll happen  :-P

Dang, I needed one more kill!
