But like farmboy pointed out, you can throw out all the bidding rules if you can agree with your opponent. However, your other opponents may wish to abide by the “default”

I haven’t played any OOB league games and just started one with Gamerman. So I am looking at AndrewAAGamer & ABH’s playoff game and the bid is something I never would have considered, a couple other key units but the big whopper: 46 IPCs going to China’s bank! First time I have seen anything like it, so I’m watching the game closely now! :)

@Stucifer not a playoff game, but a regular match. Nice to have Chinese soldiers standing toe to toe with the Japanese forces.

@Arthur-Bomber-Harris Ah yes not sure why I thought it was a playoff game! 😆

It’s quite a change from the typical subjugation of China most games see. I saw a post from Andrew saying he wanted to try and tackle the China stack instead of ignore it. would be interesting to see how much of a difference it could have made if Japan had ignored them and gone for the J2 still.

nvermind, it’s still getting stuck… it’s now happening in my other games, and doesn’t matter what email i use for the dice… this is bad

@axis-dominion Very strange :( I am not getting an issue right now on my laptop. I was having the same issue either yesterday or Sunday though for a brief time.

@axis-dominion

Bummer

yea my guess is that it’s a email issue. Unfortunately, I don’t think you can change emails mid game. I have never tried it though.

I would try protonmail or gmx.com. Maybe you can load your current game with the new address. Worth a try anyway.

Might want to ping Panther on the triplea thread

@axis-dominion

just reread your comment. So new email not working. Maybe go back to one of 2.6 prereleases

Turns out it’s likely my ISP as I was able to make things work again when I switched from my wifi to my phone’s personal hotspot. Now I have to call them up and see why it’s blocking me (tho some rolls do go through)… I was having other intermittent issues in general like my zoom disconnecting on me etc)

You can indeed change the emails, same as when you start a new game. After you have loaded up the save the dice server options before you enter the game.

I have not had any problems with the rolls, but I had not gotten a single Marti email for any game since July 1st until I finally just got one yesterday. Also no matter how many times I tell Gmail the Marti emails are not spam, many still get labeled as such. Maybe time for me to give another email provider a shot a well.

@mikawagunichi Proton worked like a champ. Marti emails galore

Question for the rules lawyers here! :)
@Adam514 @gamerman01

The Pacific rulebook states:
The United States begins the game at war with no one. In addition to the normal restrictions (see “Powers Not at War with One Another,” page 15), while it’s not at war with Japan, the United States may not move any units into or through China or end the movement of its sea units in sea zones that are adjacent to Japan-controlled territories.

I’m not sure if I’m interpreting this correctly. Japan is not at war with USA, but captured Solomons as ANZAC declared war round 2. Since USA does not go to war until the end of its turn, I would assume this means USA will have to move their fleet out of 50&55. (PtV game)

Thanks in advance for clarifying for me and @max334!

@gamerman01

But Japan did not declare war on UK/ANZ; ANZ declared war on Japan changing the political status of ANZ, UK, UKP, and the Dutch with Japan as unprovoked. The US was not affected by ANZ unprovoked declaration of war on Japan. Right?

My 2 cents - the OOB rules require reinterpretation for PTV anyway as there are multiple sea zones which border both originally controlled US and Japanese territories, which puts some of the OOB rules in conflict. I would say if they are allowed to be in a SZ at the beginning on their turn, they are allowed to be there at the end.

@gamerman01 thanks for the reply. The US fleet is currently adjacent to both Queensland and the Solomons. The Solomons is Japanese-held and Queensland is ANZAC-held. ANZAC did an unprovoked war Dec round 2 so USA cannot declare war until the collect income phase. Since the fleet is already there, it’s not moving, but it would be ending the Movement phase there. 🤔

@mikawagunichi makes a good point that since there are some shared sea zones in PTV, where USA has a territory and so does Japan, that you would be legal to end your turn as the USA there.

@ArtofWar1947 correct, ANZAC did an unprovoked attack so US cannot wardec until Collect Income of the round (we’re currently in round 3).

I can see a good argument for US fleet to be able to stay off the coast of Queensland, but seems that it would definitely be required to vacate the SZ that only touches Solomons.

This situation has been thought about during the development of PTV. The PTV rule is the same as the G40 rule, so the US fleet must vacate any sea zone that touches a Japanese-controlled territory (in the event of an unprovoked declaration by Anzac/UK for example. It’s what makes the most sense, and the Allied player should take this into account when deciding if they want to make an unprovoked declaration of war on Japan.

Can Japan declare war to USA, but not to ANZAC and UK ?

Or it is possible only in the opposite direction?
