14L G40 Ghost vs. Bold - no tech, 1 unit per TT

@Ghostglider:

I did not see your request for moving the Chinese units before doing my J3 turn yesterday as you can see from the time of the rolls.
Please proceed from the new map, where Japan and France still are bff.  :-D

Ok

there are rare times where the convoy dice could conceivably affect a noncom move - i don’t think this is one of them but i would totally understand if you wanted to disallow the move simply because dice were rolled after the noncom.  some are purists and some are flexible.  the one rule i try my best not to be flexible about is changing combat movements (including walkins) after dice have been rolled.  As you have played a lot of A&A i’m guessing you are well aware of the pandora’s box that opens.  I was actually initially willing to allow the walkin but decided we probably shouldn’t open that door.  Let me know how you feel about it - i’m certainly willing to reciprocate with an allowance of the same (change noncom after convoy dice are rolled).

Cheers

no nothing changes for me.  just put the boats back or i can do so after your italian move.

thanks

just to be clear, when you say i started playing china 3 what did you mean?  neither china nor uk had any combat moves.  in fact, china has nothing at all  :-)

to be exactly correct, uk did have one combat move, a walkin.

@Ghostglider:

I completely agree with you that convoy dice would rarely affect NCMs.

As you know I play the flexible style (Extra movement was allowed during US2) - anything that will speed up the game is usually OK with me.
I also always accept changes in combat moves also - as long as it is clear that the change is not due to the results of the battles.
I often also accept changes in purchases - again as long as it does not take advantage of the results from the battles.

I think it is very good that you have firm rules - as you say you are not flexible about changing combat movement. Firm rules makes it much easier for you compared to changing what to allow and not from time to time.

I will not allow the change in NCM for US. You started playing China3, so the map after US3 stands.
Please feel free to change any or all of your UK3 turn.

Please send updated map after UK3 and I will proceed.

actually i’m totally fine if you want to not allow the noncom, but would the reason be that i went ahead with china (since china did nothing) or would it be because of the convoy dice rolled in the philippines?  i just hope it is not because of the fact that i didn’t allow the added walkin to fic on your japanese turn…  i don’t want any hard feelings - to me i thought there was a good chance that you may have taken fic when you realized in noncom that fleet in z36 could be attacked by anzac.  this is the reason i just don’t allow any combat changes after combat dice are rolled, which is something the majority of players recognize as rational.  however, if it is upsetting you at all, i would rather just let you have the walkin to fic and set the expectation for the rest of the game that no changes to combat are allowed after dice are rolled?

cheers

hmmm ok.  nothing china did had any effect on the income collected, since they had no units.  as i said, i’m fine with it, just trying to understand your decision making so i can account for it in the future.
