J4.tsvg Yes, that was a hot roll for the IJN, no argument with that. However, the total unit value of the board is still pro-Allies by 20 IPC and the economy is +22 pro-Allies - and that’s not even factoring in the upcoming USA turn. All that to say, don’t let the cut on your lip bother you - just keep swinging. =)

@crockett36 did you take USA/Russia’s turns? I thought I saw some dice get rolled - a battle in Novosibirsk.

@crockett36 I retreated the surviving USA sub to the west coast - he can go to any adjacent SZ of course. Feel free to edit him in if you didn’t want him to go to west coast SZ

@crockett36 I’ve never heard/seen the problem as you described it. But according to the history, you were in EDIT mode for most of your turn including the combat phase. It probably had something to do with that? Anyway, we will keep an eye on it.

As for “just wanting to kill the troop but ending up taking the territory,” I might be misunderstanding you but if you take a ground unit into China and the defender misses (as in this case), the territory is yours.

The dice that came through on my end saw the Russians inflict a hit on the Japanese and the Japanese fail to hit on the return fire. Then there was a second round of combat where the result was the same so - everything looks right on this end.

@crockett36 said in crockett36 l vs The Good Captain x:

@crockett36 can you noncombat subs into hostile sea zones? If you can I wanted to move a sub off west coast? Can you build in hostile sea zones?

Had no time to look it up!

the default is “no” however in selecting which optional rules we were/were not going to use, you said, “Placing naval units: yes.”

So with that optional rule in play this game - you can certainly place new naval builds into hostile SZ

@crockett36 you cannot noncombat subs into hostile SZ - that’s axis and allies post Y2K versions
