Savegame

I forgot that defending submarines can withdraw, and although I’m a little groggy after the nap, I think you would surely leave it in the battle.

The Japanese also underperform, and the fate of the world is hanging in the balance.
Three hits back to the Americans, and the Americans lose the transport, carrier (truly sorry, flyboys), and a fighter (he wasn’t coming back home anyway)

With immense faith put in the submarines’ captains’ hands, the submarine unit misses all boats entirely.
In his defense, “Manila” sounds a little bit like “Singapore”, so we’ll forgive the error, especially since he is doomed anyway. The battleship was following him to Manila, but the pilots all zeroed in (pun intended) on the Japanese fleet and are no longer using dud bombs. The Japanese are thinking positive, very happy that the USA has not discovered the atomic bomb yet. (After all, the Americans haven’t spent a dime on research since the beginning of this war)

So 3 hits for the Americans. The supreme commander of the Pacific fleet must wait for a decision.

What do the Japanese lose/save?

Thanks,
I already stayed up too late, and all day conference tomorrow, back to A&A when I can!

I guess on Classic I should be posting USA, or the summary doesn’t show up. I know some players like to see that summary, maybe checking the game from their phones or something. I hope it’s not an annoyance to you -

Talk later

I don’t feel bad about the Japanese fleet anymore 😒

Game is off the hook

Rulebook says “in the rare case that you captured an enemy capital while your capital was under enemy control…”

lol, ok if you say so

Thanks for clarifying,
I’m fairly sure we are playing by the rulebook and clarifications except what the Good Captain has laid down, like no neutrals, Russia restricted

So page 2 says Allies have to take both capitals, Axis have to take 2 out of 3, or Axis economic of production level > 84 at the end of one complete round of play. (I don’t know if that means a complete round after hitting 84, or if it means at the end of USA turn)

So at a glance, no you don’t have to have all your own capitals, so once Russia takes Germany, each of us needs one more capital - I don’t need Russia and you don’t need Germany :O

The 84 is interesting, apparently a downed Axis power’s remaining land still counts.

@The_Good_Captain how is “end of one complete round of play” interpreted? End of USA always?

@VictoryFirst said in 2025 Classic tournament round 1 Gamerman01 v VictoryFirst (Axis):

in the end it worked out beautifully.

I had lucky results in China J1, and again against the Japanese battleships and loaded carrier off French Indo China

The Japanese fleet was more important than normal because only one factory was built

Very gracious, thank you!
