On G2 I clicked on the Armour I had in Normandy (conquered it the previous Turn for Vichy) and blitzed to Northern Italy.
For some reason it blitzed through S.France and neglected the Vichy rule (was not my Intension).
Is this even a legal move? - I had in my mind that even it is a friendly (N)eutral the movement stops!A quick answer is apreciated. Thank you all upfront.
-
No, that move is illegal. You’ll need to fix it in edit, or just reverse the move and do it one step at a time next time.
-
Thank you Shin Ji, it is what i thought. I just didn’t realized it after my G turn and moved on with Japan after my Opponents R move, but wondered why he took Syria without battle in the readout.
I entrusted triple a that my tank would move correctly and herby advise anybody to double check in the future when blitzing from Normandy to N.Italy.

Blitzing through friendly neutrals is a known Triple A limitation. One of the things which would be nice to fix.

Yeah, I usually have problems with it while taking Italy`s (Marocco to Aleksandria) NO.
Definitely, it should be one of the first things that should be fixed in the next triple a edition (rules concerning movement through or over neutrals)

Should BM close the ANZAC DOW on Japan loophole/special case? It is possible.

Can U tell me more about that?
-
Edit the XML so that the ANZAC DOW doesn’t result in a state of war between Japan and UK and Japan can then declare on UK without bringing USA into the war. The loophole is that you can move a British warship into a sea zone with a Japanese Transport and then the ANZAC DOW on Japan. Come Japan’s turn, he can’t load the transport.

is it a legal move, or a triple a bug?

so anzac can declare war to Japan, and UK Pacific is not at war with Japan, and if Japan DOWs UK Pacific , USA can go to war?

In my opinion it’s only a problem if people don’t know about it. Once you know about it, it’s trivial to stop the block from happening.

I think USA still shouldn’t be able to go to war.

Probably true. It’s not like too many experienced players are bitten by it, although it could be very annoying!

Hey!
So in my game Vichy was activated on turn 2. Is that allowed?

Yup.

2 things:
1. Has there been discussion of adding an Axis NO of +5 to Japan for control of China? I think that would go a long way to balance out the game.
2. If not, I think I will start requesting bids to play Axis. +8 to start. Just seems after about round 6, the Allies just get too much money, and if the Axis aren’t ascendent then the game is over.

You should request whatever your opponent will give you :wink:.
+5 for control of China would barely change the balance at all. Even if you rush China it will stay alive for the first 6 rounds, and those are the critical rounds where you need to get things done as Axis.
We aren’t aiming for perfect balance, because that’s impossible and balance perceptions vary a lot between tiers of players. It looks balanced to me at top tier, and whatever the imbalance is can be corrected by a bid which is also an interesting part of the game, and ensures that both players are satisfied with their side.

Hmm, good point. Just seems the Axis need maybe more ability to harvest income in the middle game. But, hey, I am amenable to bids correcting this.
I can just say from my many, many, games of BM played (second only to Simon) that the game tilts towards Allies. Not huge, but building over the course of the game. Maybe just a little bump to Axis at start, an extra German sub say, could go a long way.
Most the games I’ve lost have been as Axis, and the ones I’ve lost as allies, with one exception, I thought I could’ve won and didn’t because of either bad dice or dumb moves by me.
