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:
kill one carrier tilt the other.
ugh… hey usa what did you buy to defend your capital?
ah I c, the naval defense for east usa… that is interesting.
oh forgot the rest of my ool
for now carrier dead tilt carrier.
next round of combat kill fighter then carrier then fighter
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!

yeah well I can still try to claim east usa. :)
i didn’t have any combat for italy and i think I miss clicked done or something. Anyway here you go.
@Cow:
yeah well I can still try to claim east usa. :)
You still have decent odds, killing either your carrier or fighter could’ve gotten me some slightly better odds. Missing out on killing that meant a 20% shift in odds. So I fully expect Germany to finish me off next turn. But who knows, I’ve rolled better than I should’ve in a couple of these naval battles, so maybe this will continue that trend. Anywho, here’s hoping to good dice!
