so, luckily for you, you get to learn the lesson the easy way. :x :-P
shame on me for doing it. i had a bad feeling it might go south, it was only a 50/50 shot anyway. i kinda did it more for fun to demonstrate an elegant move… :| BACKFIRE!!! :lol:

Yes, destroy Iraq and then Egypt and my Persian fleet would have been brutal.

you aren’t out of the woods yet, but that was a HUGE HUGE HUGE victory for you.
Rommell’s trying to poison Hitler now.
:oops:so frustrated right now
the most frustrating thing to me about this game is when a guy thinks he is beating you badly but you have a move to give you the advantage and it flops terribly. :-P
you know what? The movie I just made may not be legal. It may be that you have to attack a neutral in order to fly over it not just declare war. I will look into it
If it is illegal to fly over a neutral without attacking it would you be ok with canceling that attack? Normandy would stand as rolled.
I definitely would not have attacked with only the tank and 2 bombers. Kudos to you for catching that you needed to put more material in NW Persia.
ahh yes. tripleA INCORRECTLY allowed me to fly over neutral turkey with the fighter. you are NOT ALLOWED to fly over a true neutral unless you are ATTACKING it.
so, it seems you were actually correct in your understanding that i could not get to NW persia with the fighter… and perhaps I will be the one to end up learning the lesson without getting scorched? let me know what you think - i assure you i would not have attacked NW persia without the fighter.
if you agree to negating the illegal NW persia attack, i would make no other attacks with those planes. they would only be allowed to noncombat. alternatively, you could allow me to redo the italy move entirely (i would still give you the normandy hit of course) and allow me to prove to you that i would not attack NW persia with only the tank and 2 bombers.
I’ve asked the question in the Global faq.
Not sure how this resolves.
You could just surrender and we can go on to the rematch?

–Jeff
heh, no thanks on the surrender - yet. i also sent the question directly to krieg and gamerman (rules deputy) for clarification. i will send you a copy of the question right now as well, perhaps it will be more explicit than what you posted in global faq, i will take a look.
thanks
i don’t know what the true rule is on flying over neutrals. IF it turns out to be that you cannot do so without at least making an attack on them, if not actually only able to do it if the planes are attacking the neutral itself (similar to a sub having to stop when it encounters a destroyer say?) then the question will be how will we handle what is an illegal attack.
cheers
Gamerman replied in the FAQ that it was illegal move.
If it’s my choice, I’d just return your fig to Italy and let the rest of the result stand.
Or, we can have a moderator rule and that’d be fine too.
–Jeff
i see gamer just gave the ruling on the combat issue, meaning the attack i made was illegal. so keep in mind, had i cleared persia, the attack, i believe would have been negated and italy’s turn redone. at which point, i would have had the option to try the attack with a tank and 2 bombers max.
