@Cow:

Moving into an unfriendly neutral is considered a combat
move and any combat must be resolved during the Conduct
Combat phase (see �Combat Move,� page 12). Before the
neutral territory can be taken control of by the invading
power, all of the neutral�s standing army units must be
eliminated. Air units can�t fly over an unfriendly neutral
unless they are attacking it.

Page 11 of the Europe handbook.

Enjoy.

cow, just when i think you’ve made the biggest fool of yourself, you exceed my wildest dreams.  you are sloppy, and it’s gonna cost you (unless you hacked the dice server of course).  you cannot fly over the territory in combat move unless you are attacking it.  but once you have attacked it, it becomes friendly to the axis and in noncombat we can fly over it with the other 3 ftrs.  maybe you should also start reading the faq, i see my slight fear that you might do so were way overblown.

you and the rules are like ships passing in the night.

oh well, just a little more bad luck.  now i wish we HAD taken all 4 air to hit afghanistan but with the luck you’ve been getting i figured you would shoot all four down.  if you want, i can roll for the other three fighters if you are just CERTAIN we can’t make this move without attacking with all aircraft…  :lol:

here’s the roll for the other 3 ftrs - i bet they all miss.

Rolls: 3@3; Total Hits: 23@3: (6, 1, 3)

ahhhh well, if you insist, we can take 2 inf off of afghanistan.  your call.

one more noncom to add. hang on

almost forgot the red october again…  geez i wish you’d just kill it.

now, you have a 70% shot on moscow…  i sure hope you take it.  and if you get really lucky again, well, i guess we will just all be left to wonder again…

i’m willing to go with your interpretation, go ahead and delete those 2 afghan infs.  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

well, my work here is done.  even after all the incredible luck you have enjoyed to this point, you are SCREWED unless you get super lucky from here on out AS WELL.  and if that happens, then well, as i said, there are only two alternatives - you either got EXTREMELY lucky and won a game you had no business winning, or you hacked the dicey.  either way, i’m comfortable as hell with the loss.

cheers

@Cow:

if you have to attack afghanistan then yes remove those units.

by all means remove them buddy.  you seem pretty certain of the rules…  :-D :-D :-D

veq i don’t want to hear any more complaints about how i’m smack talking with Cow, he’s getting a dose of his own medicine… he’s been dishing it out all tournament and now he’s gonna get dealt.  it’s not directed at you in any way.

by the way, kudos on tripleA correctly allowing the noncom over afghanistan.  not sure if that was intentionally programmed but either way, it allowed the correct move to occur.

no i’d rather just go with your rule.

no intercept.

@Boldfresh:

no i’d rather just go with your rule.

no intercept.

remove the afghan on your J5 noncom  :-D

intercept orders posted - ROLL IT!!!  i sure hope none get shot down.
