@axis-dominion said in PTV#2 ArtofWar (Ax+12) v Axis-Dominion (Al):

just double checking, did you intend to leave your aa gun stack in holland? fyi i’m not sure you could scramble to defend only aa guns as i don’t think they’re considered defending units, but maybe i’m wrong here. @Adam514 can you clarify?

You can scramble to defend only AA guns.

A family member on my wife’s side unexpectedly died yesterday afternoon, so we’ve been helping take care of that part of the family.

So besides my normal slowness from trying to stay on top of life, there is an extra delay because of this. Thanks for your patience,

Of course, I also have to decide whether to take a stand in India and it looks like that will be a tough one.

Enjoy the weekend -

No worries, take your time.

anyone know why in bm4 UK pac on turn 1 would not get their NO for no subs in the indian ocean, even tho all the conditions are met? they’re not at war yet, but the wording doesn’t require them to be at war with japan. it’s something i never noticed before, is it a bug or am i missing something here?

and here’s the game thread, it’s a team game with my cousins and one of them noticed it: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/40795/bm4-cousins-team-game-2024-1?_=1714352206348

only thing i can think of is that since they’re not at war yet, they can’t possibly have enemy subs that would violate this NO… but seems to me it should be more explicitly worded and made clearer in that case

There should be an at war clause as well.

No worries and no rush.

I’m up for the game discussion.

@farmboy Go for it.

@Stucifer said in League General Discussion Thread:

Do Allied units in Mongolia or other Russia-controlled but not originally Russian territories negate the National Objective for Great Patriotic War?( The +3 one in PtV)
I know the game engine stops it but I believe that is due to the script trigger changing them to Russia and think this might be a (PE) exception item but don’t have my laptop handy

That NO should only check original Russian territories, so units in Mongolian territories should not affect it, same as BM.

@Adam514 Curious if you had any thoughts/comments on the pacific side of the game. I was quite surprised when you didn’t go for Yunnan. I have seen that combat fail occassionally but never saw someone not bother with it and I had figured, wrongly it seems, that this was something that I could make you pay for. And then I was struck by how much you had to threaten India with J4. My thinking at that point was that I could stack Yunnan and hten I was going to stack Burma and delay your control of India by holding that with China. It became clear after J2 that I would have no chance to do so.

I’m guessing the good J1 and the units conserved from Yunnan helped but I’m wondering if there was anything I could do to save India early. If I had done a better job of stacking India (playing more conservatively with teh British units, getting anzac units in and in bringing the soviet air I think I may have just barely done enough to discourage it for a turn (you would have had 99% odds but with a good chance of losing quite a bit of air). But there were a lot of costs to me in doing that (Among others I really needed that soviet air back on the Europe side). In any case, I was struck by how overwhelming that attack was. For much of the rest of the game I was just trying to do enough to keep Japan from being able to focus entirely on that final VC and I guess I just managed but I felt like things could fall apart at any moment. And I thought maybe you were playing more conservatively than perhaps you needed after India fell.

I don’t think hitting Yunnan turn 1 is that critical, if the plan is for a big threat on India early. It makes China stronger, but Japan also conserves a lot of land units. With the extra inf there and a J1DOW, it’s not a good attack.

Maxing out India by the Allies might make it a bit above 90% odds, but close to 0 TUV swing. But I think the Allies sacrifice too much elsewhere to get those odds typically.

Japan was busy fighting a stronger China and Russia for most of the game. By the time it got most of that dealt with, the Pacific fleets were reasonably equal. A big delay for Japan was not killing that stack of Russians and instead losing a ton of ground units and retreating, so that delayed the turn I could pivot for the victory cities.

I think you could have liberated France a few turns earlier, if only to prevent the US from further buying out of those factories since the Axis could only win the Pacific.

@Stucifer said in L24 PtV Stucifer (X+10) vs Adam514 (L):

Since I’ve got you as a captive audience I’ve got a nitpicky question…

From Game Notes:

With the exception of Southern France (see discussion of “Zone Libre” below), Vichy French territory operates the same way as other Pro-Axis Neutral territory. An Axis player may capture Vichy French territory and commandeer its forces by moving a land unit into the territory during the non-combat phase of his turn. Fly-over restrictions applicable to other Neutral territories do not apply to Vichy French territory.

1. This means I can’t land air units in Southern France, or any Vichy territory for that matter, the same game turn I occupy it.

2. This is the rule that applies to other Pro-X/L territories like Yugo or Greece. Am I correct here?

3. And there is an exception if they have been previously attacked if I remember right?

For example, if you attacked 99 with your fleet and then moved a transport in during NCM to occupy Yugoslavia, you could land aircraft from the 99 attack that still had movement, in Yugoslavia. Because Germany had previously attacked it.

Thanks!

1. You cannot.

2. No, for the other neutrals the Global 1940 rule applies, which means if any neutral has been attacked by the enemy, you can land planes on it on your turn, regardless if you take control of it or if you leave it neutral.

Answer 2 covers Q3 and your last example.

@Adam514 Hey, no rush just making sure you saw it was your turn.

I definitely missed this one, thanks.
