That is good to know. Is there a thread where I can read about it?

Also Rubioton, you may have missed it but I asked earlier about playing with tech. I’m fine if we are playing with it, but haven’t played with tech yet and wasn’t sure if that was intended or simply accidental.

[JDOW]

No, all you can do is follow Juans and Rubis game.

Re tech, I have never played with tech. It is a fun thing for sure, but imo just increases the luck factor even more.

I believe normal dice mode is the close to optimal dosage of luck.

Sorry Farmboy, I didn’t realize that you wanted to play with tech. I’ve never have played this way before, and I agree with JDOW that would increase the luck factor.

Thanks JDOW,

But I still make a lot of mistakes, like the one losing 3 Tt with Japan :oops:

[farmboy]

No its good. I prefer no tech. This is just the first time playing where the game asks if I want to buy tech at the beginning of the turn. I thought maybe you had set up that way intentionally.

Another question. Italy declared war on China and the USSR. I thought maybe that would mean I could move Soviet units into China on my noncombat but it didn’t let me. I assume that is not a glitch but simply a requirement that the Soviets declare war on Japan in order to move into China.

And sorry about the transports. :)

@farmboy:

Another question. Italy declared war on China and the USSR. I thought maybe that would mean I could move Soviet units into China on my noncombat but it didn’t let me. I assume that is not a glitch but simply a requirement that the Soviets declare war on Japan in order to move into China.

Yes, as you said. Russia must DOW on Japan to move into China (including the consequences that has on the Russian NOs, e.g. that Japan blocok the Amur NO from then.

And WTF, what did you do to the US fleet? Annihilated at +78 with no counter? Japan has all DEI, 3 TTs and a massive fleet. They will become unstoppable now I am afraid.

[farmboy]

thanks, and yes, that was definitely a WTF moment. I knew he could wipe it out, but was hoping to pull  most of the Japanese air force and fleet to the middle of the pacific without a naval base and give China and the UK a couple of turns safe from the Japanese air and navy. I expected if Rubioton went for it he would have more units further east. Good learning experience  :-)

Will have to get to my turn later.
