Thanks for the game. I’m a bit surprised you gave up here, you have a bunch of planes which could fly into London so I think with a determined effort I probably couldn’t take it. I guess you are thinking that you can’t defend Egypt, which is probably about right.

simon33

pretty sure that:

#1 yes
#2 no

They need to participate in an actual battle to prevent the NCM to Norway.

@flyingbadger said in League General Discussion Thread:

@simon33 Do you know how exporting the game to an XML file is different from the TSVG file?

The tsvg format is more capable but the xml format is human readable and more likely compatible. xml saves don’t store round info for example.

One CV in SZ43 has no planes.

Hesitated a little to stand in SZ43 but I need to do it. I doubt spiking Japan will be enough but not spiking Japan will surely be worse.

simon33

I reckon it isn’t picking it up rather than there being something else wrong

simon33

^ also with a 3 sub attack, UK should probably submerge a bid sub and then use it to counter attack.

simon33

I would rather have the Scottish fighter than 2 subs. Makes it hard to attack both fleets as Germany.

Changed buy and reloaded. Forgot land attacks - rolled Chahar in another session. Hope all is ok.

Going to retreat after that and mobilise the DD into SZ114, so one less art in Germany.

@gargantua said in Post League Game Results Here:

Don’t make us come back!

Why not?

I have noticed that the league has lost a number of top players. Every league champion except Gamerman01 is not around any more. Sad.

Anyway, back to the point of my reply. I remember you saying that one of the most glaring problems with the game is the disincentive to liberate Paris. Got to agree with you on this point. So why don’t we just set the original owner of Normandy and/or Southern France to be Neutral_Allies or Neutral_Axis? Allows liberation of Paris without losing the ability of USA to mobilise units there (assuming they ever had it). No one would voluntarily give up this ability except in unusual circumstances so it could be edited in.

Think I have posted that before but thought I would bring it up again.

simon33

Oh must be wrong game.

simon33

I just wanted to see if there was any demand.

simon33

@flyingbadger If you go into “download maps”, if it isn’t in the upgrade tab and that tab may not exist, you need to go to the Installed tab, click delete on Global and then go back to Available and install. Clear?

Churchill would like that Canada becomes the new leader of whatever is left of the UK forces and territories.

Only of the North American territories though. They don’t collect income from Africa or the Middle East.

US bomber will then have to kill the transport and land on Queensland.

Japan was worried his Szechwan troops were going to get smacked by UK!

You know, I can’t see anything in the rules prohibiting overflying a neutral on NCM. You can’t do it on combat move though.

@gamerman01 said in Find League Opponents Thread:

Yeah, I like the concept of UKP & ANZAC economies (and pieces?) merged. It was a key feature in a house-ruled version I was working on years ago - didn’t finish because balanced mod came along before I was done.

I don’t like the idea at first hearing. Firstly, where would the capital be? Secondly, wouldn’t one of the locations be massively reinforced while the other is basically ignored. Certainly makes an ANZAC crush more likely. Maybe the Sydney IC would be upgraded to a major? Or add an IC in Queensland?
