G40 BM2 Rommel X vs Colt L "Third times a charm"

maybe i am missing something but I think you made an illegal move. You blitzed your mechs into kar and vyborg without tank assistance. You complete the entire blitz action during the combat move, per page 15 of Europe rulebook. Had you done so, you would have seen that the game wouldn’t have allowed you to return to nov.
-
The mech did not blitz thru 2 unfriendly terr. They just made a normal one movement during combat, but couldn’t return to Novg during the combat movement phase because Novg is friendly. The computer allowed the 2nd movement during NCM (but not during combat, as you stated).
-
Quote: “A tank can “blitz” by moving through an unoccupied hostile territory as the first part of a move that can end in a friendly or hostile territory. In addition, 1 mechanized infantry unit can move along with each blitzing tank. The complete move must occur during the Combat Move phase.” I think this is why you couldnt make the move in combat even though a tank can do full move during combat in trip A engine. Are you saying it’s only considered a tank-needed blitz if the second territory that the unit ends in was hostile at beginning if turn? Maybe ive been playing this wrong, then.
-
Yes, the second space was not hostile, so it’s not a blitz. A mech can move thru a friendly space into a hostile space or thru a hostile space into a friendly space, but not thru consecutive hostile spaces. The Germans blitzed continuously thru hostile spaces in real life. The Rulebook is inadequately worded. I don’t think that the computer AI is remiss. I think it was properly coded.
I’m headed to bed and will be away from my computer tomorrow daytime. The Pacific moves are so complex with the fluidity of the sea and some isles/terr with or w/o bases, that the number of possible choices is overwhelming. I finally have enough troops in Mal and FIC to converge on Shan to threaten Yun, but now UK has 9 planes that can reach. So UK can defend and threaten any adjacent terr. That’s an unbelievable number of planes. Jpn can’t afford to match it. USA has as many cv’s, dd’s and far more subs. Jpn has just 1 bb and 1 cru advantage. -

Erratic dice, here’s where low luck would have helped me. Both of Hopei’s 2 inf gave hits, so I had to take a plane and my only ground unit as hits. But in DNG, both defenders missed, while I had 2 ground units available to take hits.
-
I wont be able to move until later. I would like to continue mech in Kar discussion because it could affect US this turn. Quote from page 28: Unit Characteristics
Blitz: A mechanized infantry unit must normally stop when it enters an enemy controlled territory. However, when paired one-for-one with a tank, it can make a blitz movement (see “Tanks,” page 29) along with that tank.
Can you please direct me to the rule that allows you to capture a terr. with lone mech and return to friendly terr.? To me, my two quotes paired contradict that notion. -
If you’re still quite sure, Rom, i am ok with asking Gamerman and waiting for the official ruling.
-
I stand corrected. Under the “Notes” screen on the right side of the game map, there is a section entitled “General rules… that the engine does not do, but you must follow.” A rule labelled “PE” (player enforced) states: “only non-air units that did not move during combat… may move during non-combat move.” Let me decide whether to put inf in those terr. or revert ownership to Allied.
-
It’s amazing how adding or taking away just a unit or two changes the calc battle odds. The Ger tank that blitzed north, would have improved my odds of attacking an Allied advance into Kar or Vyb by 20%. And it could have blitzed, so I would only have needed to sacrifice 1 inf at the border. On the other hand, if I had escorted the tank with a mech, my chances of racing to Siberia would have improved. Or else, forced Rus to use planes. Battle calc says I should take ownership to prevent USA figs from landing.
-
cont… if I intended to attack an Allied advance into Kar. If I just defend, I wouldn’t waste inf on the border. Rus could always try to squeeze me to divert so of my defenders.
Final decision. No Ger move into Kar or Vyb. Change Kar to USA owned and Vyb to Bri owned. Edit on your turn. -
for purchase, minus 4 inf, adding bomber.
-
I see i accidentally placed my US fig on Cent US last round instead of Eas US. Please consider allowing me to non-com that later as if it was in EUS.
-
okay, move your placement

Novgorod is really heating up! I’m sad my Brit tank didn’t survive. Had my eyes on manchuria or forcing your mech away from anhwe. I’m sad to ditch the french fig. I could’ve kept some destroyers back in 91 but then I’m still giving plenty of options for Ita TTs.
