Haha, can’t do that, sorry! It’s a league game. Can’t show off all splendid ideas before they’re executed. ;)

But perhaps there can be some afterthoughtly analysis now and then. :)

[trulpen]

Sorry if I’m slow, but am just trying to understand this map and all the changed premises.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@trulpen take your time.
If you rush, things will go under.
So no rushing on you from my side if it takes a while to your next move.
We will pick up speed anyway…🤣

Lets try this. Scramble z110/111?

If z111, then prefered OOL?

[regularkid]

@trulpenplay will be following this game with interest :)

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@trulpen what sz exactly you are referring to??😂

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@trulpen I’ll take my chances with the SCO Ftr, please.
I think it is sz 114 if I remember correctly.

Lol, you’re right. New sea zone nomenclatures. I was just going on habit there.

[trulpen]

Well, you know what I meant. ;)

[trulpen]

Wait. I missed that there’s land scramble. Oh, this is messy. Will you scramble from Paris to Normandie?

[trulpen]

This is crazy. :grin:

I’d like to change my purchase. Instead of 3 inf and a mech, I’d like a mIC and save 2 IPC.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@trulpen granted, but then you have to wait untill I am home ( 2-3 hours prox. ) to confirm all of my scramble options, he, he.

[trulpen]

No rush, I’ll wait for you.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

Ok here is my decission:

Please scramble sz 114.
Please scramble to Normandy (may land in S.Fra).

[aequitas-et-veritas]

For our Interest to keep it in mind:

NOTE: Path to Victory is designed to be played with “can scramble to land” turned on for both Airbases and Carriers. This option, however, may only be used for battles where the defending player has at least one unit in the defending territory–i.e., a scramble cannot be used to defend an empty land territory. The TripleA engine does correctly enforce this rule. However, at present, the engine still prompts players to scramble to undefended territories if the attack is amphibious. This prompt should be ignored since the engine will ultimately not recognize such a scramble, even if it is selected.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@trulpen I would recommend to take it easy, since we are not quiet comfortable with this new assesment of gameplay. So we might double check more frequently on things. If it happens that we oversaw something like with this scramble option in your case on G1, I am open for redoing a combat move untill we are more comfortable with it.
What do you say?
