    temp save, thinking about UK turn some more.

  • 2024 2023

    I might want to edit the US NCM to Normandy, didn’t factor in all the planes that I think can legally move there (the ones in Southern Italy could land on the carriers if you win the battle, which is only likely if you can send the planes). A bit circular but afaik it’d be legal


  • @Stucifer Ok, I don’t think I understand well, but fine as long it is fair.

    For my part, we usually play once you finish the nation, that is it, no changes possible. But it seems in this case I wouldn’t know it if you did not post the temporary save, so I guess it would be fine :)

  • 2024 2023

    @nikola1975 Sorry for the confusion. During my Noncombat Move as the USA I moved my fleet to SZ 108 (the little pocket by Normandy-Bordeaux). Thinking that I could use a destroyer to block, so you’d only be able to attack with air, I wouldn’t need as many units this turn to defend, giving me a chance to merge fleets.

    However while I was thinking more about UK’s turn, I realized that the German fighters in Italy could attack 108. It is 4 movement spaces. The only legal landing spot would be a Carrier as UK was going to capture Normandy. Your carriers in 115 would be able to move to 113 to land on at that point. I worded it less coherently earlier, my apologies.

    My edit would be to change the USA fleet position in 108 to 95, where I made the landing in Southern France.

    Yeah, I agree, I am generally pretty accomodating but try to avoid making any edits that would impact a turn. Since this isn’t a reflective change after rolling battle dice, I don’t think it’s a big ask. Thank you :)
