Sounds good. I sent you a pm with my dice email and starting bid. Adventure!

Haven’t done a play by forum before and would like to try it out. Anyone up for a game? Must have patience for my TripleA ineptitude :).

Great, thank you very much.

Hypothetical scenario: I have a sub, destroyer and cruiser. Adjacent to my units is a lone cruiser and one sea zone behind that is a defenseless transport. Can I simultaneously attack the cruiser with my destroyer and cruiser while sending my sub under that fight to kill the transport or does the sub stop because there is a battle? I know the sub could go under the cruiser regularly (but not a destroyer), just curious whether my attacking said cruiser with different units invalidates that move. Thanks.

@Global-commander:

can the chinese fighter attack Japanese ships off the coast?

No.  The Chinese fighter is not permitted to move outside of territories that are originally chinese plus burma/kwangtung.  Seazones are included in that restriction, so the chinese fighter cannot enter any seazone.

Could the chinese fighter in a legal coastal territory scramble against an amphib if the territory it was in had an airbase? I’m not sure how scrambling and moving are related. The piece has technically moved into the sea zone, but it hasn’t used any movement points to do so.

I thought one of the Alpha +3.9 changes gave Russia’s global income of 37 IPCs to it in the Europe only board in exchange for getting rid of the +2 inf in Novo NO. However, I see the new setup charts have Russia at their Euro only total of 28. Am I remembering incorrectly, has this been reverted back to OOB, or is it some new amalgamation?

What happens if the Russian troops are on a UK or US transport taking Sicily (the scenario I was picturing reading the above). What do the Italian fighters scramble against? Can they shoot at UK/US transports on Russia’s combat turn? I thought they could only scramble against Russia. If they’re shooting at a US transport, it doesn’t make much sense that the US fleet has to sit there while its own transport dies.

These look absolutely gorgeous, definitely going to print out and use em. Two things I noticed though compared with the Alpha +3 setup on Larry Harris’ site:
Egypt should have 2 infantry instead of 1.
Western United States need a fighter.

Thanks again.
