@The_Good_Captain

I am not sure where the 17 comes from, because the limit should definitely be 15.

@VictoryFirst I think? we’re good. It’s whatever this module is. Thanks my dude!

@The_Good_Captain So Madagascar not an island and can’t save stranded fighters - fascinating. I did start liking the quirkiness of Classic some months ago. The subs withdrawing into a factory zone and causing the whole naval build to be destroyed was particularly fascinating.
(I know we’re playing we can build into the zone - a great adaptation)

I have never seen a naval build be destroyed. There is quite a lot of counterplay that if it happened, I would say its the fault of anyone but the owner of the sub.

What I have seen is when a sub retreats into a zone where a carrier is supposed to be to “catch” its fighters after missing in the combat and subsequently being removed for failure to land. I have seen subs kill planes in that way - I’ve never seen a build be K/O’d in the manner you described but there’s always a first.

Oh! I might have misunderstood someone, but

I thought you (normally) can’t build ships into an enemy occupied zone.
A player could build a navy, attack a sub that’s in the factory zone and fail, the sub submerges in the battle and then the player couldn’t place the navy.

There is no submerge in Axis and Allies 2nd Edition. (That’s one the abominations of “3rd edition”) The sub is forced to retreat thereby clearing the zone for placement of naval units.

Also, I was warned that if the building player unwittingly attacked a sub that was in a zone next to the factory zone and the defender withdrew the sub to the factory zone that again that navy could not be built.

All this is correct. Keyword is ‘unwittingly’. Know the rules - Know Problem (my joke).

Pages 11 and 21, I would think not being able to place a navy would not even be super rare. I’m posting this only because you know the rules front and back and I’m trying to understand them

I haven’t seen it yet. You’ll be the first I reach out to when I do though, trust.

@The_Good_Captain said in Gamerman01 v TheGoodCaptain (+8) Loser bracket final:

I need to always play with the appendix IV optional rule of placing ships in enemy occupied zone or I know I will lose a UK purchase when I attack a sub in a neighboring zone and he withdraws it to the UK zone

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game in which a German sub existed adjacent to the UK sea zone while at the same time there were no allied ships in the UK sea zone. In this…extraordinarily rare situation the counter play options are build naval units like normal and have your allies destroy the German subs after you’re safely in the SZ or save all your IPC (common in my experience but not having anything to do with German subs).

You’ve had this experience? In any case, I encourage the use of the optional rule just to avoid long conversations … (lol)

@gamerman01 ^that was a bad joke to say through text. I love long conversations on this game.

@The_Good_Captain Ah, that makes sense! AAC-BuildCaps is not my module, not sure whose it is. Mine is the Classic League one space below in your list 😊

I am still having a hiatus by the way, but I just happened to see this. My life is now unfortunately very busy. But I hope to come back in the future!

And the best of luck on you guys’ game!
