G40.2 Fortress (Axis) vs. Eqqman (Allies) no bid, no tech

Parent-teacher conferences tonight and then I have to be at the hospital all day Friday for two surgeries for two kids… Yeay.

In any case, I’m going to try to bang out another move this morning if I can but then you probably won’t hear from me again until late Saturday night.  :-)

I’m back. One got tubes in his ears and the other got her adenoids removed. So far so good on the recovery.

There’s a glitch in TripleA that permits a move that’s not valid. It let you land air in a territory that wasn’t yours at the beginning of the turn (Persia).

You need a new landing spot for those units. You can redo your turn if that affects what else you were planning on doing.

It IS allowed in Dutch territories - and you can actually land on them with air without activating them with land units. The ruling from Krieghund was that the Dutch aren’t neutral; they’re a non-playable Allied power whose capital is under enemy control and who have an agreement with the UK and ANZAC regarding the administering of their territories.

I’d guess that of all the questions in the FAQ, probably 1/3 are about eh Dutch and neutrals  :-)

I need an OOL for you for the 2nd round of combat in 92. You’re way ahead in this battle. I was only 63% but I went for it anyway. Yuck.  :lol:

ool_i1.tsvg

I think it’s going to turn out the same no matter what in round 2 of combat (and ultimately in your favor, as I would’ve abandoned the attack if your carrier was sunk after the first combat round). They both hit at 2 and the damaged carrier next to a naval base is more valuable than a destroyer in case I abandon the attack after round 1 (so much so that that carrier was the only reason I pressed the attack after being down so much in round 1 with basically no chance to win.

Point taken, though. I’ll wait on future ool.
