Another fgt question

Okay, send me a private message when you’re free to start a forum game. The conditions would probably be when someone surrenders, I don’t really pay a lot of attention to Victory Cities either. I think I’ll bid 8 to take the Axis. That means if you want to play the Axis, then you get to place 7 IPC’s in units before the game begins or you play the Allies and I place 8 IPC’s in units before the game starts.

I can see how the Axis would struggle if they transport out of Africa rather than taking Egypt on G1.

welcome to the forums!

@mallimoosh:

1. Can you fly air units over enemy sea and land territories without AA during noncombat?

yes.  you can always fly air over whatever you want so long as the air units can land.  you could also fly air units over AA during noncombat too, but the AA gets to shoot at you depending on which version of the rules you are playing.

@mallimoosh:

2. If an attacker fails to take an occupied enemy territory and the attack is over, can he then go back into that same territory with other units during the same combat move?

no.  all combat moves are considered to take place at the same time, and, one you’ve started rolling, you can’t go back and make another combat move.

Thanks Cpt Jack et al. I shall have to play like that in the future then. Last game we had Germany took Russia, but because Britain got Southern Europe it could churn out unlimited tanks there, and this proved Germany’s undoing.

@Krieghund:

Either way, those Canadian troops aren’t going anywhere by sea this turn.

Those Canadian troops (or troop if it’s just that arm) can still make it out. Just pick them/it up in sz9 instead.

You’re right.  Good catch!  I didn’t have access to the map when I wrote this.  What I should have said was that you can’t load them in sea zone 1.  You could move to sea zone 9, if it’s friendly, and pick them up from there.  However, this does limit your options for movement to Algeria, the United Kingdom and Panama (and the Eastern US, though you don’t need a transport to go there), and then only in combat movement.  If you’re trying to stop a UK counter-attack against an invasion of the United Kingdom, you need to either sink the transport or block sea zone 9.

Under LHTR, your only options for these troops are amphibiously assaulting Panama, Eastern USA, United Kingdom or Algeria.  Under the box rules, you would also be allowed to leave the troops on board the transport at sea.

There is no such thing as a “dumb” Newbie question.
Only the question of; “a dumb Newbie” is plausible.
And if a Newbie is asking for advice on this site, then he may not be dumb,
Gullible maybe, but certainly not dumb.  :-P

This observation is coming from a guy who calls himself; Crazy Ivan!

Please ignore the crazy man, he has had 4 hours of sleep in the past 30 hours  :-o

:-D……Gaming, gaming, gaming… :-P

Thank you SS.

NP.  Actually thought it was an abbreviation issue…

At this stage I am only playing board games (not online).

Surely LHTR do not cover all the rules - that are there are still parts of the games that the rule book do not clarify which means you have to make things up….
