[lexgreat]

Impressive 9/10 hits by the UK Med forces, all in all, so far.

[lexgreat]

na, not true. 10/12.

[gamerman01]

Insane

[lexgreat]

And my BB fails to hit two times in a row. That fighter would have been a nice consolation.

Looking forward to your ANZAC / France.

[gamerman01]

Will be done this afternoon

[gamerman01]

This is our first time playing one another, so you will probably learn some things…

Starting with this:

It is illegal to move your tank to Alexandria in the combat movement phase and then move it back in the non-combat movement phase.  You must complete the blitzing move of a tank in the combat movement phase.  Don’t let it happen again, please (it gave you more options than you should have had, including if you had cleared Z97, you would have been able to reinforce Alexandria with 2 more transported units)

[gamerman01]

Anyway, assuming you were ignorant of the rule, I will allow you to move the tank back to safety in Tobruk even though it is technically illegal.

Sick luck in the Med…
I’d be sorry but I don’t know what kind of sick luck you have in store for me, perhaps even on G2

[gamerman01]

@Gamerman01:

It is illegal to move your tank to Alexandria in the combat movement phase and then move it back in the non-combat movement phase.  You must complete the blitzing move of a tank in the combat movement phase.

Did you see this?
Wasn’t sure you did, since no acknowledgement, and because I posted it before the ANZAC and French postings

[lexgreat]

Yes, I noticed it. Thx for pointing out the technical mistake.

[gamerman01]

Thanks for acknowledging - didn’t want it to happen again

Item #1 on my Triple A issues list:
Order of the conduct combat phase is

1. SBR
2. Amphibious assaults and necessary naval battles before amphibious assaults
3. All other combat

You should have rolled the Morocco battle first
I will be observing this rule on my turns.  It potentially gives the attacker an unfair advantage if this rule is not followed.
Please follow the rule book, thanks.
