You may scramble around Nippon (no Kamikaze).

–—

The rules still mystify me sometimes. I wanted to unload in both Korea and Manchuria. But I realised that if you sent a single Kamikaze against my Carrier Task Force in SZ19, I couldn’t move them where I wanted because they would have gotten in combat. So I would have to move them out as a combat move to avoid combat. But if I moved the fleet to some neutral seazone I couldn’t move them again in non-combat right? For example if I move from SZ19 to SZ18 to avoid combat they can’t go to SZ6 in noncombat right?? And does kamikaze even count as combat??

I had to do something similar to my subs around Japan in case you decide to scramble. Even though they couldn’t possibly enter combat with your planes, they would’ve been stuck in SZ6 - but only if you scramble.

[Ozymandiac]

Wait, don’t respond yet. I made a mistake in the European theater. Will post my definitive orders later. Sorry!

[koala]

I’m not a 100% sure on those things either.
Maybe we should ask in the FAQ thread.

Take as much time as you need :)

[koala]

By the way, you really thought me well!

I managed to pull of the Denmark -> Germany thing right the next game after ours

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=38073.msg1554884#msg1554884

I also managed to lose regardless of that :-D

[Ozymandiac]

All right, the save I said you should ignore is the one we’ll continue with :-D So the USA11 post is fine.

Haha I’m happy to see you’re spreading the hate. In time, you will start cursing in German when you see your #1 priority is to defend a bloody 2IPC territory.

no scramble around japan

So if you want, we can cut it here :roll:

You’ve won a long time ago!
Great play, and I’ve leaned quite a lot :-D

But, as you might have thought, I have no problem with doing the last turns either, if you want to push all the way to the reichstag ;)
Just don’t want to drag the game longer than it’s fun for the opponent

[Ozymandiac]

Hey Koala,

I appreciate the concern :-) And I agree, it’s an Allied win - although you’ve really been annoying me on the European side of the map :-D well done

We both made some mistakes; a good thing too, otherwise these games really drag on! And I must admit, I’ve had more luck than you, especially in some important battles.

(On a side note: you didn’t have to kill my American guys in Southern France just now. At least, I assume you want to Blitz your way towards my Normandy beachhead.)

Let me know if you want a rematch. I’ll probably post ANZAC in a couple of minutes to complete the round.

That’s nice to hear :-D

Yeah, simply wanted them to go. And it just shouldn’t happend, that you get 4 hits out of 4 ;)

@Ozymandiac:

Let me know if you want a rematch. I’ll probably post ANZAC in a couple of minutes to complete the round.

I’d like that. Normal or do you want to try a balanced mod game? I have to say, they have so quite interesting changes. Should we make a league game out of it?
I’m quite flexible, so tell me what you prefer.

[Ozymandiac]

I don’t think I want to play Balanced Mod. My main two reasons are that

• I still feel like the original game has too much I haven’t seen yet.
• it’s a time investment for me, because I have to read up on those new rules which I can’t use in a tabletop game.

A league game sounds fine; nothing really changes except that the result is logged somewhere right?
