yes, no AA hit, but another hugely impressive showing by your dice. @4 7/8, @2 greater 50%. I cant sustain such losses anymore.

all in all this was again very much in your favor, I think.

btw just keep in mind when you do the japp turn, the transports in 36 will not be able to do anything in noncom. so if they stay there and are in involved in the fight, or if they move out during combat movement, that will end their turn. nothing else can be done with them during noncom
-
yes, thx for pointing it out. In the meantime I am aware of it, but I did not think about it when doing the turn. I would still have landed some units there, but would have kept TTs in reserve. I truly hope I learn from it.
Honestly, although fully legit, I think this is a ridiculous exploitment of rules and mechanics (and this does not imply that I think you are unfair and such), without any basis. Its not the only example, but it should simply not be possible, I think its very much against the spirit of a war game.

I know exactly how feel, I myself have complained about such little tricky rules. Although to be honest I assumed pretty much all experienced players knew about this one, cuz we’ve all been bit by this one at some point or another. But do know it was not without cost to me, as I’m sacrificing 3 ships to achieve that blockade. Plus When I saw the naval base I assumed you knew what you were doing and was expecting to navigate around the blockers to grab some of the islands, maybe thinking I wouldn’t sacrifice the ca.
-
again, its totally legit to use that, and why you wouldnt if its made possible by rules? Could be it benefits me, sometime, but Id hugely prefer it not be possible at all.
-
Just to make sure, I cant move out and load elsewhere, right? TripleA allows, but I guess thats not programmable?
-
@alexgreat:

As far as I understand, You can move out and load during combat movement, but then whatever you pick up must be used for amphibious combat. The transports that move during combat movement and/or participate during combat cannot then move again or load/unload during noncom. You can double check with gamer just in case if you wish.
-
fyi from the (pac) rulebook, pg 13 (which confirms my understanding as stated previously):
sea units starting in Hostile sea Zones
At the beginning of the Combat Move phase, you might already have sea units (and air units on carriers) in spaces containing enemy units that were there at the start of your turn. For example, an enemy might have built new surface warships in a sea zone where you have sea units. When your turn comes around again, you are sharing that sea zone with enemy forces.
If you are sharing a sea zone with surface warships (not submarines and/or transports) belonging to a power with which you are at war, this situation requires you to do one of the following:
• Remain in the sea zone and conduct combat,
• Leave the sea zone, load units if desired, and conduct combat elsewhere,
• Leave the sea zone, load units, and return to the same sea zone to conduct combat (you can’t load units while in a hostile
sea zone), or
• Leave the sea zone and conduct no combat.
Once these sea units have moved and/or participated in combat, they can’t move or participate in the Noncombat Move phase of the turn. -
thx. it doesnt matter for our game now, but in principle I dont seem to see the requirement to conduct combat after loading. yes, its stated as “and conduct combat elsewhere”, but I wonder if that is a must, or just optional.
-
It’s a must. What is loaded during Combat move phase MUST kill or die. That’s the rule of war. WW2 Soliders don’t threaten combat, they DO combat that ends either in victory or a ticket home in a body bag!:D
-
no feinting, no deception, no threatening :)
