LeeMorrison (+6) v Gamerman01 (Allies) Classic Tourn Loser bracket round 3

Of course I meant to unload the men onto the Philippines but failed to do it properly with the mouse and Triple A, so edited.

I bought the last AA guns.

I’m glad you said something right away.
I’m looking in the rulebook again, I was sure @The_Good_Captain showed me exactly where it said that, some months ago

@leemorrison That was the most enjoyable and challenging Classic game in my life, not that I’ve played many against good players.

Thank you for your sportsmanship and your excellent play.

The stacks rule is clearly stated in the middle of page 7 of the rulebook. You can only have 2 aircraft carrier stacks, for example.

I’m not seeing the detailed rule about the Factories and AA guns after a quick look.

@The_Good_Captain can you point us to the clear rule about limited Factories and AA guns if there is one, and expound a little on how the groups must stay together?

Like if you had 3 aircraft carriers in 2 groups, could you move them in 3 different routes during the combat movement phase (say, to establish a retreat route) if you end up in 2 different locations (since you have only 2 plastic carriers)?

Thanks for confirming, I’m just a new learner of the rule. And it really changes the game a lot, maybe @leemorrison will decide he likes the actual official rule, like I did. Bring on the quirkiness.

Can you address my question about how exactly this works during movement? Do you just have to end a phase with the limit?

My example, you have 2 stacks of aircraft carriers, say one in the Atlantic and the other in the Pacific, where it’s chipped because you have 2 aircraft carriers in the Pacific.

During combat movement, is it allowable to send those 2 carriers along 2 different routes but end up in the same battle?

Got it, I didn’t see that I also had a FAQ, was thinking I only had the CLASSIFIED clarification

Now I see my specific question is answered, the carriers could not even split up during a combat move that ends in the same place
