ABH vs Innocentbystander G40

Time out….

@Arthur:

            Battle in Burma
                Chinese attack with 2 artilleries and 2 infantry
                Japanese defend with 2 infantry
                Chinese win, taking Burma from Japanese with 2 artilleries and 2 infantry remaining. Battle score for attacker is 6
                Casualties for Japanese: 2 infantry

…how was that possible?  I thought China was entirely “restricted” to attacking territory only within China?  I have seen games where the Japanese player has completely abandoned/boycotted China and their troops just helplessly mass in China, going nowhere???

@Arthur:

Burma is the one exception to the China movement rule.  That is why TripleA allows the move.  It is quite faithful to the rules.Â

In that case, I concede.  If you don’t have China re-liberating Burma, Japan captures Calcutta this turn, I get all the money, and (perhaps) I keep your capital the way I would probably keep Singapore.  But with China having so many troops to reopen Burma and let the British mech inf right back in, I can’t keep it.  And I can only attack it (and Burma) once with my transports where they are. I planned this whole thing for Japan-8 three turns ago not knowing the China-Burma rule.  Good game.

@Arthur:

Hmm, I don’t know how the China-Burma rule is so critical in your plans.  UK could have recaptured Burma itself if China hadn’t done so first.  Even if I lost India eventually, I don’t think that was big enough of a swing to change the tide of the battle.  They were only making 6 PUs on a consistent basis now.  A couple money islands is worth the same amount.Â

If you think that rule was so game changing, I can redo China and never ever go into Burma to see how that affects the outcome.  I don’t want to win simply because there was a rule that you were unfamiliar with.Â

Oh no, that’s okay.  I learned a rule and that was valuable.  Lets play again…

@Arthur:

As you wish.Â

Setup a new game.  No scramble if you have overwhelming forces like this time around.

My wife’s 50th birthday is today.  Today will be a crazy day but I will set things up in the next 16 hours or so.  But it will NOT be overwhelming force because I am attacking Russia, turn 1, and I need planes elsewhere.  So I’m sure you are going to want to scramble since it will be fairly even with a scramble.

When I know what I sending definitively, I’ll post that that information

It may or may not matter, but my lone sub is attacking your forces in Canada.

To sea zone 110, I have just the BB, 2 subs, 2 tactical bombers, and fighters.  I assume you want to scramble all 3 fighters, its a 50-50 battle if you do.  let me know what you want to do.

To the North (sea zone 111), I am also coming in lean but I don’t think this is 50-50.  2 subs, 1 fighter, 1 tac bomber, 1 strategic bomber.

The rest of the Luftwaffe is going after the Soviets.  So what is scrambling?  And most importantly, give me the “if-then-elses” order of the dead, and I know a lot of that is depending on what I do.

Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 1.8.0.9, time: 17:35:25

And scramble Scotland?

I’m just going to Scramble it.  You did say full scramble.  If you didn’t want to do that, we’ll adjust after.

I messed up by clicking too far in the game and not getting the whole log of what happened.  Basically, you kicked my butt in Channel and up North, it was a push.  I did manage to hit the Soviets pretty hard.  Anyway, your turn.  I’m sure you’ll figure it out.

I screwed up Germany’s turn massively.  I meant to advance the infantry from Germany into Poland.  Oh well.  Live and learn.  Was too focused on birthday stuff.  This is what happens when you don’t concentrate.

I invaded Russia with Japan and activated Mongolia.  So I need to crush the Soviets (or at least make them real small) before the US can get in the game.  The race is on.

And of course, you rolled awesome in Yunan.
