[boldfresh]

hold on, to bombard kwa, you needed to use a transport, did you offload in z61 with a transport?

[boldfresh]

you can’t bombard with a ship unless you are offloading from a transport.  you can bombard with a ship 1 for 1 with every unit you offload from a transport.  i can’t tell if you used a transport yet, but i’m thinking not.

[boldfresh]

anyway, since you’ve started and the battleship bombard missed anyway, we’ll just let it go.  just want you to know for the future.  if a unit is coming over land and not from a transport, you cannot bombard based on that unit.

@Manstein:

heh, that’s the problem, when you are used to me never hitting you, it can make you sloppy…  :wink:

[boldfresh]

oh wait i see the battleship did hit, but the hit was not needed.

[Manstein]

Japan takes Philippines for no loss with 4 inf

just seen your notes on kwangtung. yes, sorry was originally landing troops and then changed my mind so i could beef up philippines attack. you are quite right. am losing my mind here, it’s half 2 in the morning. glad it didn’t affect the outcome so we don’t need to go back. my land forces wiped out and i haven’t taken it, so hopefully no harm done

anyway this is the last one for me

[boldfresh]

[boldfresh]

just put your tranny from z37 in z61 and it’s all cool.

[boldfresh]
