Shouldnt I be able to move a trn into sz 6 from sz 5 pick up an inf and move back to sz 5 even though there is a US sub in sz 6 as long as I bring a dd with it? Triple A is not allowing me to leave sz 6
Just tried this and it let’s me do it. Sounds like there is something else going on here.
Figured out the issue. I was loading the transport in sz5 first and then moving to sz 6 and loading another inf. Then I wasn’t able to leave sz6. But if I reversed the order of loading it was all good.

hey guys, check out this test game adam and i are engaged in:
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=38955.120
adam wanted to test out the scramble-to-land option, which is already available in the Map Options (i.e., unchecking Scramble to Sea Only). early on in the game when i realized how much harder it is to crack europe with all those air bases, i told adam, in frustration, i’m not liking this as it seems to favor the axis, making europe that much harder to break…but then i decided to continue with an open mind, and a few rounds later have found the battling around trying to break through rostov and with all those russian air bases to be actually very fun! probably one of the craziest and funnest games i’ve had in a while lol game is still going strong, adam just refuses to let me settle anywhere in europe, god damnit! i’ve already had to retreat out of s.france and now i’m going to have to bail on norway!
just thought i’d share this experience, and was wondering if anyone else has tried this option? i mean, it does require more scrambling decisions, so if you decide to try it, be sure your opponenent is pretty active and can answer pretty quickly. not a problem for us since we’re both very fast and responsive.
anyway, if you’re looking for something different and very interesting to try, to spice up your axis&allies, go for it! it’s freely available since it’s just one of the map options right out of the triplea box!

What is the scramble to land option?

your planes can scramble from an air base to protect an adjacent land, must like they can normally scramble to protect an adjacent sea zone.

so if you look at our game, you’ll see russia bought 3 air bases: in bry, tam, and volg…this is so they can all scramble to protect rostov against an italian can opening. that’s 9 planes that can scramble to defend!

WOW!
Axis D you are blowing my mind! That would open up huge tactical defense options! It would also partly remedy Axis and Allies’ major prejudice in favor of the attacker, i.e. the attacker can always mass his air units against one defending territory but not vice versa.

very very spicy!

combine that with making airbases cost say 8ipcs in stead of 15 and allow as many airbases in a territory equal to its value… then we’d be talking!

I ended up adding a fourth air base for Russia in Caucasus lol! Just for you Karl!
Game is concluded tho, was a very fun and challenging game!

No adam got diced hard in a big naval battle at the end. I had overlooked 5 extra figs in India that could reach 54, giving him 93% odds and avg tuv over 100. But the actual rolling told a different story! Plus I had a lot of luck throughout the game, for ex my bombers kept freely knocking out the Japanese garrisons in Chinese territories with very little losses. I had decided earlier in the game to abandon India and launch into china to start gradually resurrecting the Chinese. I wanted my Indian stack to be more troublesome for the Japanese who were sitting pretty comfy having conquered all of china easily and dominating the pacific from the carolines. Sitting in Burma just wasn’t effective enough so I took the plunge lol. In doing so, he was forced to pull back his navy from its dominant position to help fortify fic and other potential threats, and of course he easily grabbed an almost naked India. But then this gave the Americans a chance to finally make some forward naval progress. It was a bold idea but I do think it ended up going well for me after all. I always wanted to try that but never had the courage in a league game cuz it’s fairly crazy to ditch one’s cap haha

So has there been any fix to the fact that triple a 1.9 still shitts itself on a mac when the scramble prompt comes up? It just flashes.
One option would be to run a Linux or Windows virtual machine in a Virtualbox window. Linux has the more attractive price tag.

just start playing, in the league we are playing primarily Balance Mod two that you can find in the threads. Read through them, download the files you need and wait for someone to accept your challenge or if someone is asking for a game accept the challenge.

Hi Gamer, yea maybe someday : ) Life can be pretty unpredictable at times

A fix may be available for the Mac scramble box in 1.9.0.0.3373. It seems to work for me.

Spoke too soon. I can still duplicate the problem at the second attempt.
