Scramble all 3 fighters and prepare to taste the waters of the Adriatic…

How does that water taste now…
Lose the fighter, keep the battleship.

@martin I trust you be true to the Molotov-Ribbentrop non-aggresion pact?

Yippee-Ki-Yay, I am back!

Welcome back, hope the planning for the raid on Nakatomi Plaza went well.

Let’s see if the Germans just want to claim some British fishing grounds…

We just want to help the British rejoin Europe :flag-eu:

Do you scramble to SZ97?

Sure, why not. I feel the need, the need for speed.

You are part of Europe now! :flag-eu: Pehaps you would a referendum on whether to leave?.. :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

We know are Russian friends will honour our deal and there will only be peace on the Eastern front.

It appears I brought an involuntary souvenir back from Andorra. At home, we are all Covid positive… At least it seems to be quite mild.

Oh dear, sorry to hear that it got you eventually but hopefully you’ll all be okay and have stronger immune systems as a result :mask:.

- Offical Commuication from the League of Nations -

Dear Joseph Stalin,

It has come to our attention that your recent actions in Romania have contravened the most fundamental code of law, the bible of all interaction, we speak - of course - of the Axis & Allies Rulebook 1940 Europe Second Edition.

We refer you to Page 12 (Phase 2: Combat Move (Powers at War Only) - Sub Section Powers Not at War with One Another).

Combat: A power can’t attack a territory controlled by or containing units belonging to a power with which it is not at war.

We also refer you to the notes of G40 Balanced Mod 4.1. In subsection Rules specific to 1940 the engine does not do, but you must follow.

(PE) = Player Enforced = You must be aware of the rule and must follow it. The engine will not stop you from breaking the rule.

(PE) You may not attack a territory containing units owned by a nation that you are not at war with (even if the territory is owned by someone you are at war with).

Whilst you should be punished, we wish to be kind due to our forgiving nature (and because you keep your moustache looking so lovely and those NKVD can be a little scary). We therefore propose that those poor Italians be allowed safe passage out of the Russian-held territory into Italian-held Yugoslavia.

Yours faithfully,

Secretariat for the League of Nations.

@martin said in L22 FlyingBadger (X) - Martin (L+22) BM re-match:

I also did not understand your comment that you forgot to declare war with Italy. What would you have done if you had declared war with Italy? Is that something we could implement in the current game?

I didn’t realise Russia could go to war with Germany and attack German territories with Italians in and the Italians would not fight. TripleA allows it, but it is not allowed by the rules. Every day is a learning day…

I’m happy to take the benefit of the learning opportunity, and we don’t go back to a previous point or re-roll any battles etc… I’d be happy to move all the Italians in Eastern Europe into Yugoslavia before the start of the Italian combat move phase and go from there, they will declare war on Russia but won’t attack Slovakia/Hungary as this would can open an attack on Romania by Germany which you won’t have accounted for. How’s that for you?

It puts this game in an interesting position and means you don’t have to redo any of the Russian moves.

FFS :confounded: My totally amazing plan only works if the US goes after the UK… :clown_face:

@martin said in L22 FlyingBadger (X) - Martin (L+22) BM re-match:

The Japs fought as brave as the Ukrainians these days…

Those US carriers lack an armoured flight deck, vulnerable to Kamikaze, I knew MARTI would take that into account with the rolls.

:hankey:

@nikola1975
Sorry, haven’t had as much time for A&A recently, didn’t realise it had been this long sorry. I’ll try and make a move tonight. I’ve resigned early in a different game I was likely to lose anyway to try and be more prompt with other games.

Anybody for a game.

I fancy a game of the old G40 OOB?

@gamerman01 @pacifiersboard @dawgoneit @Arthur-Bomber-Harris
I’m not sure I 100% understand what is going on, but it’s all fine with me.

If @pacifiersboard is playing @dawgoneit then I don’t mind playing @Arthur-Bomber-Harris for my place. If he wins then he takes my place in the 1st bracket against the winner of PacifiersBoard/Dawgoneit. I can play fast enough that I doubt it will slow down the playoffs overall.

If there is anyone who objects to this or thinks it is a pile of sh!t idea then I’m happy to do whatever the plan is currently.

JUST POINT ME AT THE ENEMY AND HEAR ME CRY “God for Harry, England, and Saint George!” AAARRRRR!!! :crossed_swords: :crown:

Illegal State Exception
(attempting merging values British and British)

Sounds like it is caused by Brexit, probably best to just blame Liz Truss.

Seriously though, I think I have had this when looking back at games which have had units added with the edit function, maybe maybe some unique value constraint is broken by the edit. I’m sure I recall that the edit function is still in beta but is included in the production release of TripleA due to it’s extreme usefulness (expecially by people like me who forget to make key moves :drooling_face:).

@martin said in L23 Martin X vs FlyingBadger L+22 BM4 Playoffs:

History does not repeat itself but often rhymes. But I am not here for Poetry and will do all I can to prevent any rhymes!

@martin Sorry, I’ve got too many games going on. Over commited myself. Can’t keep track of what’s going on in what, will take a few days to think what’s best to do. Might conceed a few, I’ll let you know.

@martin said in L23 Martin X vs FlyingBadger L+22 BM4 Playoffs:

No worries at all. I also over committed - I will start a rematch against Dawgoneit, today.
Just continue with Russia, when it is convenient for you, even if it takes a few weeks

Thanks Martin. I realised I was just trying to keep up with my games and not actually enjoying them, which is obviously not the point. Perhaps we can give it 2 weeks and see how things are? If I can keep the number of games reasonable then I’m sure we will play quickly and enjoy it too!

OOB Playoff result.
