Umm, that is the only time I remember to move it.

I agree, there’s not a lot of times you’d want to do that.  But I could see it in rare circumstances.  Usually transports, even unloaded ones (who leaves loaded transports out where they can be shot at?)

More fun is when someone forgets in AAR a submarine does not block enemy submarines and you sail under, sink his three aircraft carriers, submerge with your surviving submarines and watch his 6 fighters go sploosh in the Pacific Ocean.  It was a beautiful day.  He could have recovered easily, but the moral hit alone caused him to concede the game.  The best part is, submarines can’t shoot aircraft, so he HAD to take the carriers as casualties!

How often does that occur?  Like almost never!  Same with having a need to send fighters out to kill something and feinting at enemy ships to make the move “legal” even if you have no intention of ever recovering those fighters!

@Perry:

Think of it this way:
Once you are retreating units out of combat, they may not perform any more action(s) that turn. Their only action is to move 1 step to an adjacent space (planes excepted).

thanks

I don’t think it’s a political discussion to demand that the government first take care of making sure our bridges don’t kill us before finding new ways to spend our money.  I see it as a civics discussion, or a fiscal discussion, or a discussion about common sense, etc.  But has nothing to do with politics.

“leave a bad taste in your mouth” is a figure of speech.  When you try something and it leaves a bad taste in your mouth you don’t want to try it again.

The double entendre bit refers to oral sex.

Heres something from Ultravox:

I want to be a machine-
I found the bones of all your ghosts
Locked in the wishing well
While birdsong gourmets dragged empty nets
I slumbered in my shell

In mitternacht, die mensch-maschine
Kissed me on my eyes
I rose and left the fire-ladies
Glowing lonely in the night
With all the pornographers
Burning torches beneath the sea

Chorus:

I want to be a machine
I want to be a machine
I want to be a machine
I want to be a machine

I stole a cathode face from newscasts
And a crumbling fugue of songs
From the reservoir of video souls
In the lakes beneath my tongue
In flesh of ash and silent movies
I walked at boulevards again
A nebula of unfinished creatures
From the lifetimes of my friends
I hope your innocence has depraved me

(Chorus)

Broadcast me, scrambled clean
Or free me from this flesh
Let the armchair cannibals take their fill
In every cell across wilderness
We’ll trip such a strangled tango
We’ll waltz a wonderland affair
Let’s run to meet the tide tomorrow
Leave all emotion dying there
In the star cold beyond all of your dreams
–-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stranger Within—
Light comes through a crack in the door
I tape up the windows once more
Tight like a cold hand of steel
Don’t fear the stranger within

Hands that petrify in the air
Eyes catching things never there
Sweet tension caught on my breath
Don’t fear the stranger within

Watch every shape that escapes
Scared to make the final mistake
Speak to hear the sound of your voice
Don’t fear the stranger within

Sit in the corner with your back to the wall
Pray to your God with your head in your hands
Your mask of fear is shrinking fast
It’s closing in more amour
You stand on borrowed time, your sweating palms and chilling brow
Your wide-eyed panic makes you laugh, you cry and laugh
Freeze until the noise decays, a shuffle from behind a door
Your throat is tight, it makes you choke and smoke and choke
Eyes will grow accustomed to the dark, a stifled scream that won’t come out
There’s nothing more to fear from the stranger within

Don’t fear the stranger within
I feel the stranger within
I see the stranger within
Don’t know the stranger within
I am the stranger within
I am the stranger within

Correct…

If your side owns Panama at the START of your move (just before you do “purchase units”) then you can use it.  The same is true for Suez if your side controls BOTH T-J and Egypt.

If your side does NOT control both sides at the time you purchase units, you cannot traverse Suez at any time during your move.

The last I heard the plane was going along the Potomac River, then veered into Manhatten.

Either you meant the Hudson River, or that was the longest “veer” in the history of flight.  :wink:

LOL @ Amon-Sul…

its like your doing his homework for poetry class or something LMFAO… :-D :-D :-D :-D

@ncscswitch:

Amy lee still has one sweet voice, whether you think the lyrics are tripe or not, her voice is incredible.

Funny how a good singer can make crap sound good (I really don’t think it matters what is being sung), but a crap singer will make anything sound terrible.

Cue Roseanne.

Sankt is correct.  The SUB may still chose to leave the SZ in COMBAT movement phase of their upcoming turn.  However, if the SUB does not combat mvoe out, then Comabt will occur with the new fleet.

i think you are right frood

lots of there songs are full of metaphors in christian contest

thanks a lot

take load game, choose A&a revised

Yea, well they still need to get there. :P

@Amon-Sul:

Germany has a sub in the North Sea and AC with two figters in Baltic
UK has 1 bat and 5 subs in North Atlantic Seazone

is it possible for UK to attack German sub in North Sea with its 2 subs,  and then attack German fleet i Baltic with 1 bat and 3 subs

No, you can’t do that for the reasons stated already.  But note that the UK subs can sail right through (or rather, under) the German sub in the North Sea to attack the Baltic.

So the UK could attack the Baltic with up to 5 subs (plus air if available) and attack the North Sea sub with the BB (plus any subs not attacking the Baltic, plus air if available).

Abattlemap 0.79f is a mapping utility for axis and allies.  It’s basically a map of the board with moveable pieces.

when i play with my friends on the battle board we play with all six weapons devealopment and with all the national advantages

then you really enjoy playing a game, you have thousands of possibilites but also if you are for example German you really enjoy harrasing with you Panzer Divisions or U-Boats, with Japan your Banzai and Kamikaze are great for you, not to mention Russian Winter and so on…

these how the game is more a game

but without National Advantages (or even without weapons devealopment-which i don´t understand why you remove from tournaments) the game is more ˝a chess˝ than just a game
but if you want to practice your brain…

I like the victory territories thing, but not the time limit.

Where’s the unguarded territory if he blocked off the Baltic? What if there are no troops or very little troops in W. Europe? You may be infinitley efficient when you can bombard a territory, but when the territory doesn’t have many or any troops to bombard, or you are blocked, you are many turns behind in amassing the necessary troops to attack.

Is it you can’t collect income or is it that you don’t go through the collect income phase?  From what I’ve read it looks more like you don’t get to go through the collect income phase than it is, you just can’t get cash.
