13L G40.2 Gamerman01 (Allies +9) vs. Jeff28 (Axis)

[gamerman01]

@Jeff28:

You would really want to scramble a fig vs. 2 bombers? Seemed like a no-brainer pass.

I can re-do the battle here if you want. I guess I should have asked but assumed you’d rather me move as I’ve been slow to respond.

–Jeff

I’m not upset - just surprised.  Don’t worry about it this time, just please be more conservative with future assumptions - thanks

[gamerman01]

@Jeff28:

What do airborne forces do?

They are paratroopers.

You can send 1 or 2 infantry at any territory within 3 spaces of an airbase that you are attacking with at least one other ground unit.  They are subject to AA fire.

Forgot to edit the art to a mech until after I posted
This one’s right

[Jeff28]

Isn’t it kinda unfair to change a purchase? Is that standard A&A.org practice?

[gamerman01]

I changed it before my combat move was over.

I didn’t realize you could scramble from Kwangsi and I didn’t ask to take it back

If you want me to stick with my artillery, it’s really insignificant - go right ahead.  And place it in London instead of Iraq.

[gamerman01]

You can see from the time stamps that I wanted to change my purchase before I rolled any dice.

If you were playing face to face, would you not let a guy change his purchase when he’s doing his combat moves?

Yes, it’s common to allow a change in purchase during combat moves, and I would always allow that and have no problem with it.

If you don’t want me to do it in the future, say the word.  Again, this change was extremely minor.

[Jeff28]

Why not just reload the file if you haven’t done combat and start over so the edit is avoided?

[Jeff28]

Because you already rolled tech dice I guess?

[Jeff28]

I get it now, it’s fine.

[gamerman01]

@Jeff28:

Because you already rolled tech dice I guess?

Yeah, then you’d have to edit the money.
I guess I don’t try too hard to avoid edit mode.  It’s inconvenient to reload.

Going to have to look up the paratroopers for Germ turn. Are they an inf carried by an air unit out of a airbase for attack?

So any undefended territory w/in 3 of Moscow or Novo later you can take? Can you send more than one to a territory? How many maximum for a territory and turn?

Thx.
