Got room for a 41 game, no tech, bid for allies.  Preferably someone I haven’t played in 10L yet, and more preferably someone who gets bad luck  :lol:

Looking for a 41 game or 3 game series with someone I haven’t played yet in 10L.

If we doing a 3 game series, I rather just do it straight up, loser gets to decide sides for the next game, thus should even out if one side has the ‘advantage.’  Pretty much like our series last year  :wink:

Got room for a 41 game, -tech +no, can bid for allies or do a straight up 3 game series with someone I haven’t played yet in 10L.

I’m free for another 41 single game or a 3 game series.  Let me know via pm.  +no -tech -optionals.

Ok I see that the clarification doesn’t override that subs can always be ignored, and can think of a scenario where that update would help clear things up.  Still think it would be better to have subs be able, by choice, to defend against amphibious assaults.  Doesn’t make sense for a sub patrolling the US west coast to just watch a lone Japanese transport drop troops to California, uncontested  :lol:.

Subs can still be ignored, unless they’re attacked.

That doesn’t make sense from the way the text was updated.  Here is the original paragraph:

Step 3. Land Combat: If the sea zone has been cleared of all defending enemy warships except submarines and transports,
and the attacker still has land units committed to the coastal territory, move all attacking and defending units to the battle
board and conduct combat using the general combat rules (on the next page). Remember to put casualties from bombardment
(if any) in the casualty zone.

Here is the updated faq version:

Page 17, Amphibious Assaults - Step 3. Land Combat: The first sentence should read: “If there was no sea battle or the sea zone has been cleared of all defending enemy units except transports and submerged submarines, and the attacker still has land units committed to the coastal territory, move all attacking and defending units to the battle board and conduct combat using the general combat rules (on the next page).”

“submerged” was added and in italics.  It seems to me that, submerged subs can still be ignored, but not ones that decide to fight.

Unless I read it wrong, subs can no longer be ignored for amphibious assaults, if they choose not to submerge. It’s a good change, since it would be stupid to think a sub would sit idle as a lone transport decides to invade the coast.

It was on the a&a official site.  Pretty significant changes if you ask me, namely heavy bombers got tuned, and subs can defend against amphibious assaults.

When should new faq rules take place?  I guess they should be applied to new starting games instead of retroactive to ongoing games?

I guess I got time for another 41 three game series, preferably with someone I haven’t played yet.

Looking for a 3 game series, preferably vs someone I haven’t played yet who can post withing 1-2 days. Standard stuff like +NO -TECH, no optionals, dice for sides on first game, and the loser chooses sides for next game with same parameters.

Bidding to play allies?  Wow at least for 41, I thought allies got the slight edge already.  What’s the concensus for 42?  Who has edge?
