Farmboy (X) vs Gamerman (L+20)

Sure, say Germany is attacking Moscow and London on the same move, London being amphibious assault. If the German player didn’t know the rule, he could pick either one first. He rolls Moscow first and it goes great or terrible. The result in Moscow would influence his decision on London whether to keep a land unit or not, whether to retreat air or not. An extreme example, but similar concept for smaller battles. Sometimes the result of one battle affects whether you will retreat or when you will retreat on another battle - I’m sure you could think of examples or you will see them in future games when seeing through this lens.

Anyway, if the player has to do all amphibious first, then he has reduced options - for example, in the Moscow London example, according to the rules London must be done first and so the German player doesn’t know how Moscow or other battles are going to go when making decisions on what to lose and whether/when to retreat while invading London. If one player knows and follows this rule, he could be disadvantaged if the other player doesn’t. Anyway, it’s the rule. It’s actually kind of nice to know it, because when you’re conducting combat, you have less choices - you do strat bombing first, then amphibious, then the rest :)

This India move is tough. I think I’m getting close though

Oops, seem to have overlooked USA tac from Hawaii to Queensland - I’ve only done 1 small China battle since, so hope it’s OKbri3.tsvg

I spent a lot of time on this move and am proud of it - I’ve been taking you very seriously from the beginning. Not sure why I took a game with one of the best, but I think I’m hangin’ so far :)bri3.tsvg

I wanted to acknowledge the good dice I’ve been getting, too. As I used to say, good dice can make you look like a genius with great tactics - bad dice, the opposite

Didn’t want to say anything until you had seen it - I wouldn’t like it if an opponent said “sorry I was so lucky” when I go to check and haven’t even opened the map yet

Oh, and I’m also OK with edits usually, when no dice or no related dice have been rolled after the move should have been made - but yeah, case by case like anyone else

3rd round is in the books, and yes it’s early -

Heart pounding action, but your fingers worked

OK, no problem - I haven’t looked at it and started planning my move yet so they’re fine -

And a good day to you sir

Heheh - I’ll help you start the new habit by reminding you that the Sumatra invasion should have been rolled first
