@martin Reminds me of the old days! Spending hours and hours away from the kids :upside_down_face:

Wow. Fun that you shared - fancy set up!
Question! Do you use calculators or do you go old school?? It’s hard to play on a board when you’re used to Triple A!
-
@gamerman01 thank you. We play old school without calculator, and that’s quite a challenge 😅 I did an educated guess of a 55% chance of taking Moscow and failed badly…
I am counting the number of units on each side and in parallel I sum up the “hit values” of the units like a 3 for an attacking fighter or a 4 for a defending one. But after too much beer it proved to be difficult, LOL
-
I just play the little A&A&Zombies game with my son and quickly realize that without the calculator I am quite vulnerable.
-
Then I give him so much advice that I lose, but I really just beat myself :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:
-
Can you please advice if Venezuela is adjacent to the Central America in the BM4 map?
-
@me1945 gamerman can confirm, but I’m fairly sure they are not.
-
I assume the board mapping for BM is the same as it is in the G40 2nd edition map. Not having the board game handy, I googled the map and failed to see where the line goes between the countries.
-
@me1945 it should be the same. When I look at the map it looks a bit indeterminate but I’m fairly sure I tried this years ago and learned that they were not connected.
-
No change there with BM
Couldn’t remember from the last time geography has been clarified, so I got out my E40 board.
There is no shared border between Venezuela and Central America - they definitely are not adjacent for the game. -
Thanks you both guys for the quick turnaround.

I was wondering if you can help me. i’m playing a ptv game with max and i had a scramble off a carrier to a sz with transports he said its not a legal move. he said he needs to be attacking with a defensive ship for me to do it. is this true?

j7.1.tsvg scramble? this spot here
heres the dialog on that
Carrier Scramble: A carrier may scramble one plane to battles in adjacent sea zones where there are defending surface warships or to battles in adjacent territories where there are defending units. No more than three planes may be scrambled from a particular sea zone in this manner. The number of planes that may be scrambled from a sea zone (up to the three-plane maximum) is determined by the number of undamaged carriers in that sea zone (one per carrier). This is true irrespective of how the planes may be allocated among the carriers. For example, if a sea zone contains an American carrier with two planes and a British carrier with no planes, the total number of planes that may be scrambled from that sea zone is two. Damaged carriers are disregarded for purpose of determining the scramble capacity of a sea zone (player enforced).
-
A transport is not a surface warship so the scramble is not allowed, player enforced.
-
can you put out a minor complex for your bid?
-
I am afraid this is not possible. No infrastructure, only units.

@gamerman01 can you please confirm?
-
it says units in the rules. is a ic a unit?
also what map do i use for BM4 -
-
I love that question!
I don’t remember what was intended years ago.
But I checked the rulebook, and on page 27 of the Europe 2nd edition rulebook, it is clear that infrastructure pieces are called “units”.
Since league rules have not clearly stated that infrastructure units are NOT allowed, they are allowed.
I will clarify in the league rules.
