Repair - rule when capital captured - Triple a seems to skip the purchase phase entirely when a capital is captured. This means it skips the part where ships in a navy base can be repaired. The rules say there is zero cost to repair ships. Should ships in a navy base for a country that has lost it’s capital be edited as repaired or should they stay damaged because the engine skips the purchase phase entirely?

thx for the reply gamerman. so I can edit them as repaired?

Interesting glitch

No glitch, but the rules. These are the rules, from Pacific 1940.2 rulebook, page 21 :

“The original controller of the captured capital is still in the
game but can’t collect income from any territories he or she
still controls and can’t buy new units. The player skips all but
the Combat Move, Conduct Combat, and Noncombat Move
phases until the capital is liberated.”

Repairs take place during the “Purchase and Repair Units” phase.
No such phase -> no repair.

@panther Thank you for clarifying this panther.

So, is this rule only listed in pacific but not the other two? I’ll follow it but it needs to be added for Europe and global for clarification

nevermind, I found it under combat section in Europe rules. Purchase and repair entirely skipped for lost capital.

Does anyone know where 666 alias JWW is?

Travelling

Thank you for the answer.

@aequitas-et-veritas Does anyone know if downloading or using the BM4 map will have an adverse affect on the BM3 map? I’m late stages of a BM3 game that I don’t want to mess up but would also like to start a BM4.

I believe that the game started will stay that version despite updating the map.

Hi. Need rules clarification:

USA political Sit:

Also, need a clarification on this rule:

“USA political Sit:
If USA is not at war with Germany or Italy, USA may only move its units to sea zones touching USA territories and also Sea Zone 102.
If USA is not at war with Japan, USA may not move its units into sea zones touching Japanese controlled territories.
USA cannot go to war against the Axis until the beginning of PU collect phase of USA 3, unless of course an Axis power attacks it first.
Once at war, the Minor Factories in continental USA upgrade to Major Factories automatically for free, and may be used immediately.”

In a game I’m playing, usa declared war at end of round 3 as allowed. However, when I checked the automatic, immediate, and free update did not happen as the factories were still minor after USA 3 but before USA 4. We can edit them to major factories before Usa 4 if usa is at war, right?

They upgrade at the very end of USA 3 and in any case you are restricted by placement restrictions on usa 3. Also you place new units before you may declare war on usa 3.

Nevermind I see what happens. If usa buys 10+ units, it gives a message saying do you want to purchase 10+ units when you can only place 9? Usa would say yes to purchase 10+ units. At some point before placement, the factories update so the 10+ units can be placed. What threw me off, since I don’t often make it to the point where usa has to declare war, was the warning message because the update is not immediate but is instead at some point before usa 4 placement. No issues, just have to select yes when the placement warning shows.

@aagamerz13 you can only place 9 units. So rules for over purchase kickstart inn

@oysteilo The rules say the factory immediately changes once us is at war. So the factories should be edited to majors as soon as us is at war, correct? I thought this was a user editable bug

@oysteilo ok. I think you misunderstand. I’m talking about the start of usa 4 not round 3. If usa declares war at end of round 3, the factories are still minor at usa4 purchase. They don’t auto update until after usa 4 purchase which is why the message shows.

On round 4 you may buy more then 9 units with US.
At the beginning of your Deploy phase, the IC’s than will upgrade and you may place more then just three unis on any of your upgraded IC’s now.
