Panzerstahl-Helm vs barnee Game 3

@barnee

Hi,

oh boy, I just learned that transports can transport any 2 land units (except 2 tanks) at once. So I was using it “oldschool” with 1 inf + 1 land unit of any kind… I noticed this in the previous round, but didn´t follow up. Now I noticed when I looked at Gibraltar and the stack of US forces there! Oh boy! I had to re-plan my German turn in the Mediterranian and Gibraltar was a tough fight! This little sh**ty place on earth (its only rock and some monkeys living there, and with monkey I mean real monkeys) seems to be the hot spot of this game with switching owners twice per round… hehehe!
Anyway, lesson learned with the transports!
I miss-clicked the casualities and had to switch 1 bomber against 1 Waffen-SS in order to take Gibraltar. The Brits/US boys gave me some bad beating! In my test rounds before I was taking way less casualities…anyway. As long as it is German again…

Howdy,

I found the info regarding the transportation capacity of transports.

Things I did in EDIT:
I switched the Waffe-SS-boys against a regular inf. Seems to be fair.
I also replaced the Elite in the Desert Army against the inf, which fought in Trans-Jordan. As a result I replaced the artillery as casuality instead of this very Elite, hence the Elite is now protecting Trans-Jorda against the Allied aggression! :-)
And last but not least I switched the SS-Panzergrandier in Southern France against a regular inf from Normandie, since Waffen-SS boys get sea sick and can´t be transported via sea.
I used to know this from our first game, where I transported a Waffen-SS inf to Norway, but I forgot it…I barely can remember things from 12.00am til noon. hehehe!
Although I donßt understand the lgic behind this, why Waffen units vcan´t be transported via sea.
And last thing is regarding Army groups. As I understand the rules, they can only be formed (in any way) during NCM and Placement phase, but it seems that you can use single units and/or armies out of this AG to move in the combat move phase also. Is that correct? If so, the rules should be clarified with the additional sentence like: “An existing AG from the beginning of this round can be unformed during Combat Phase and single unitsand/or armies within this AG can move separatly.”

I am not converned about this current game, the eastern front was too growded anyway, but for understanding. This is why I haven´t formed an army in Eastern Poland yet, to keep the options open to move single units.

Tmy Japan turn is still cooking. The Russians become a pain in the arm for the Nippons. :-)

…this was indeed the reason I didn´t take Belarus. I was thinking about it, but since I am vry short on infantry on the front, I decided not too.

I am currently going through my J11 and alo take a glance on my G12.
