BM3 Colt(Axis) vs Rommel

I don’t recall subs being offered to retreat after initial dice round, when the attacker won.  You could replay the game on local computer and see.  I received the marti die roll emails but not the forum posting email notice for Italy save game or your comment.

Really discouraged about this game.  Jpn has almost conquered China on J2.  That one small Chinese battle has shaped the entire game.  China had a 96% chance of winning, and even if Jpn won, bat calc said they would only have 1.5 units left, not all 3.  USA and Rus can only sit and wait to be attacked.  India and ANZ can take isles this turn, but their tt’s will then be sunk.  Jpn won’t have a constant stream of Chinese to fight and can walk to India in 3 turns and can sail in 1-2 turns from the new naval base or Malaya.  You would send Indians to Africa to help Bri, but now if I keep the ones that I already sent to Africa, India will be more likely to fall.  Bri has more movement choices than US and Rus.  It will take me a while to decide what to do.  I will take Bri turn tomorrow.

I maximized the Bri & Indian forces to remove the Italians from Africa and still be in a position to defend Egypt.  I didn’t want Italy converting friendly neutral Syria and then Iraq to Ita, so I attacked Iraq.  Bri had twice the power and 2/3 more units than Iraq, yet inflicted no hits, but received 2 hits.  :x

I based my building of the IC in Persia on the following Eur40 rule book “If the attack upon the formerly neutral territory is
unsuccessful (the territory is not captured), any remaining defending units stay in the territory but can’t move. The
territory remains uncontrolled (place a national control marker on it face down to indicate its new status), but units
from the side it’s now allied with can move into it and take control of it and its remaining units in the same way as if it
were a friendly neutral.”  “In the same way” means you can’t take control with air units, only land units.  I think you are referring to the 4th “Rules that you must follow” (PE) “You may not land air units in friendly neutrals, including the same turn they are captured, unless they have been previously attacked.”  To me, the term “captured”, really means taking control during NCM.  I interpret this to mean that you can land air units in the same turn that you take control or capture Iraq with a land unit.  To me it doesn’t negate the land unit requirement.  Try to find out where to post this question to the A&A arbitrators.

Okay, I accept that the Axis can land air in Iraq, even tho they don’t control it.  This is the second time that this game has denied me an approx 98% battle calc victory.  Just when I built an IC.   On another note, I wish that I had thought of building and using marines earlier in our prior game, to take the islands in sz99, instead of sacrificing tt’s.

I took ANZ and Fra turns but got an error message when I tried to post “missing refresh header after login.”  Since I didn’t get marti email, must have been in local game mode.
