L24 PtV Stucifer (X+11) vs 666 (L)

[666]

@Stucifer if you care to continue you can edit the marine into Denmark and put the CR in z115.

[Stucifer]

@666 marines follow the same rules as other cargo on transports, if they are loaded on combat move they must unload at the destination.

Should be in both rulebooks. I don’t have my computer handy. 🤓

Not a big deal in this case, but good to know for future moves. It’s much more likely to be a thorny point in the pacific I’m sure

[Stucifer]

I’m planning to continue, what’s life without a few setbacks 🤔

Just frustrated at my own ineptitude 😅

[666]

@Stucifer so if I load two inf in combat move and transport them to szX I need to unload & attack with both? The game let’s me just unload/attack with one inf. I’ve been doing this too. Is that also illegal?

[Stucifer]

@666 yes you have to use both

Blunders happen, I was going to take the allied fleet and armies back into the Med and take S. Ita and then Greece but you put so much in S.Fra…

[Stucifer]

Are you up for a rematch after this game?

when you have time, please show me this in some rules. Really appreciate you pointing this stuff out. I’ve never been called out on it before. It’s too bad the game allows this. thanks

Should be in a similar spot in the Europe rulebook

I can’t seem to copy + paste it from my phone sorry

[Stucifer]

Another prickly rule in there I’ve had come up in a game is if the target sea zone has a submarine, you can send a submarine with the transport and not attack the sub. You always have a choice to not attack the sub, but some I played with though it had t be a surface warship escort

Was just an aside. I sent a sub + transport to amphibious attack Java once. The sea zone I moved into had a sub. I declined to attack and made the landing. The other player thought that a sub didn’t count as a warship escort and that I needed a destroyer or other surface ship. I mentioned it because it had come up and it’s part of the same rule paragraph.

Transports

• If a transport encounters hostile surface warships (not enemy submarines and/or transports) AFTER it begins to move (not >counting the sea zone it started in), its movement for that turn ends, and it must top there and conduct sea combat.

• A transport can load units while in any friendly sea zone along its route, including the sea zone it started in. If a transport loads land units during the Combat Move phase, it must offload those units to attack a hostile territory as part of an amphibious assault during the Conduct Combat phase, or it must retreat during the sea combat step of the amphibious assault sequence while attempting to do so. A transport that is part of an amphibious assault must end its movement in a friendly sea zone (or one that could become friendly as result of sea combat) from which it can conduct the assault. However, a transport is not allowed to offload land units for an amphibious assault in a sea zone containing 1 or more ignored enemy submarines unless at least 1 warship belonging to the attacking power is also present in the sea zone at the end of the Combat Move phase.

• Any land units aboard a transport are considered cargo until they offload. Cargo can’t take part in sea combat and is destroyed if the transport is destroyed.

Ok I looked at the board again with fresh eyes and see that it is indeed quite hopeless for Germany. I will concede here. Thanks for the game :)
