@cwglee51 Hey what version of tripleA is this?
14L G40 Ghost vs. Bold - no tech, 1 unit per TT

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.
-
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.

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

China turn: You collected income… :roll:
I will continue from the updated map
-
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.

:-o Wow you are lucky :-o - With this kind of dice I should probably just give up.
-
Expected battlescore was +43. A result of -52 instead is devastating - completely destroys the game.
-
i don’t even know what you are referring to yet, but i better check fast cuz it sure sounds good… you had +60 on the china battle now you had -95? Sounds like close to a wash no?
-
Holy smokes, that was some great defensive rolling! A few thoughts:
1. you could have taken in 3 more infantry and 1 ftr
2. you could have bombarded with the battleship
3. if i had left my british ftr on the island, you would have likely lost the battle
4. thank goodness for your superb 3rd round roll of 7/8 huh?
5. bizarre for a battle that started with zero AA hits and the bombardment hitting
6. you are really really going to wish you had gone for it on G3 - my gut told me it was a fatal decision either way, but boy, that sure is way beyond anything i could have expected.
7. battles like this are why i don’t complain about dice until the game is over.I will probably think of more.
Cheers

8. you do have 91 bucks
9. you don’t have the logistical problem of having to take so many heavy artillery and tanks off the islandalways gotta look on the bright side. :-)
-
Thanks for the comments - here is some more salt you can rub in :roll:
-
Not trying to rub any salt just commenting on a wild battle/game. We have had two completely crazy ones now - i calculated that your attack on Szechwan was a <1% chance result. This is probably an even smaller chance of happening. Still many many things that can still occur - these are the kind of games even I can remember, when there are so many spectacular battles.
-
Thanks to the earlier Szech result, you have japanese bearing down on the russian backside. Should be interesting from here.
-
You are wrong. If I had attacked London G3 with these dice, I would have been beating so much that there would be no recovery possible. Luckyly for me I waited until I had the option to bring more units and thereby I will still be able to take this one home although it will be more difficult than if dice had gone as expected.
