League General Discussion Thread

I am not the mastermind behind scripted axis play, I always believed allies suit me better but for sure I have more luck (not dice) with axis this days. But sure if you want to I accept the challenge,  BM3 no bid, I take axis. It’s nice weather today so it is beer time. Can set up Thursday morning Norway time (I am off tomorrow)

Question:

Can you chose to ignore a defending sub on subsequent combat rounds?

I.e. the attacker kills the scrammed defending plane R1 but the sub is still alive, so starting R2 of the combat can the attacker now ignore?

Or is the ignore option only available pre-combat R1?  Or is it constantly re-determined every round of combat?

here is the issue in concrete terms, I am USA and I am up. I can take Japan if my landing succeeds.

Japan still has 6 Kamikazes.  I assume he’ll scram and use the Kamikazes.  If he kills my dd with the Kamikazes but I kill his tacb defending, then R2 the sea zone is no longer hostile if one of my carriers is there?

If Japan chooses to not submerge the subs, then you will have to retreat if there are only carriers vs subs. You can’t ignore subs when a battle has started.

wait, a carrier is a “warship” so why can’t that allow me ignore the sub?

Or are you just saying, if I can’t ignore the ignore the sub at the start of the combat, then I cannot ignore it anytime there after?

It would allow you to ignore it if it wasn’t in a battle, but since the fight started with the subs in it you can’t start ignoring them after the fact.

so once in, they are in, even of the condition that allowed them to be in fails mid-battle

Yes, once the battle starts it’s only the owner of the subs that can decide what they do.

Dang!  There goes my chance at Japan!  :x

If the US attacks a sub and a cruiser with only fighters, carriers, and transports (i.e. nothing that can kill a sub) can the sub continue combat after the cruiser dies? My opponent says that a lone sub can’t prevent a landing, but I thought the presence of the cruiser would make a landing impossible in this situation.

As long as the sub stays to fight, the landing can’t be done.

Thank you.

when UK Pacific is down, and the allies take Kwangtung from the Japanese, it does not go to China, but the country who captured it?

If USA, France, USSR or ANZAC captures it, yes.

If Russia declares war to Japan, is the Mongolian trigger deactivated (for Japan) ?

2) If Russia attacks Korea or a Japanese controlled territory bordering Mongolia, then the Mongolians will never join Russia as in #1 above

My opponent has declared war to my Japan with his Russia. USA took Korea and he moved in there in ncm.

So, the catch for keepin the trigger in (allthough Russia declared war to Japan) is to not attack a Japanese territory (bordering Mongolia or the land of Korea), but to move in in ncm?

Korea is not bordering Mongolia.
