It’s rare to see dice that bad, wow 🤯
Jercules (Axis) vs. ??? (Moscow in 5–can it be done?)

I guess I’m being a prick here, but whatever; I remember a rule about convoy blocks being stated: I officially state no convy blocks for Japan except for the Phillipines. Whether or not you recognize that is another story :wink:
-
Heheheheh, took me a minute to understand what you meant.
You do have the option to ignore it if an Allied power (for whatever reason) fails to identify a convoy situation on their turn. With a threatened Calcutta sack, hypothetically :-D , this would make for better loot.
However, you can’t stop an Allied power from reducing their income if they accurately identify a convoy situation affecting their income on their own turn.
-
I expected you to hit Burma but, man, I did not predict your naval block off Sumatra. Well played.
-
Thanks, I’m sure you know how it is… stare at the screen long enough, and you’re bound to figure something out.
-

Actually, if I can butt in very quickly to clarify something-
In the Pacific rule book-
Pg 20, “Conduct Convoy Disruptions”3. At least one enemy warship must be in the sea zone, and the intent to disrupt the convoy must be declared.
The convoyer - Jerc - can actually opt not to convoy you in Calcutta simply by declaring that desire. Even if you see it before him. :-D
Something interesting to point out. -
I only have the European rulebook which doesn’t include intent among its conditions.
Now I’m not sure whether Global follows Europe or Pacific in this matter, so I will ask in the FAQ thread.
And no worries Alsch, I definitely don’t want to find out several turns later that I was wrong and mess up the whole game.
-
Yeah sorry about that; I’m sure I seem like a prude here.
I just think it’s an interesting note that most people seem to overlook. Either that, or I’m entirely wrong. :lol:I remembered having an identical conversation in one of my games. I figured you might find it interesting. Feel free to ignore it if you’d prefer. :-D
-
The answer I received in the Global FAQ said intent isn’t relevant in Global. If Gamerman is mistaken, then I am sure Krieghund will post.

let me know OOL for SZ41 when you have a chance
-
Yeah, just the expected order of loss is fine. Roll three carriers and one BB.
-
You mean damage three carriers and one BB, right?
-
Yeah–“roll” harkens back to the good old days when I played this game in person.
-
I was pretty sure, sorry for my paranoia.
I hate doing suicide runs, but the chance of sinking those men by the end of ANZAC is too good to pass.
