@Cmdr:

then it becomes a game of can we see Jenny’s breasts and it goes down hill from there.

Well, of course it’s all downhill from there. :-o

@tekkyy:

I see people who wants to be frank, talk straight, or sharp tend to receive lots of negatives.

I must be those things personified then!  LOL

<–----  look at all the negatives!

@DarthMaximus:

Did you happen to have 2 battleships (Japan)?

In this case you could chose 1 bb to bom one place and the 2nd to bom another.

I’m not sure why TripleA would allow it.
But a singular BB can bombard only one territory, you can choose which one, but you shouldn’t be getting a singular shot in multiple battles.

Actually your right, I did have 2 Battleships, but now you got me thinking as to whether I allocated each Battleship to bombard separate territories. Given that this situation never crossed my mind uptil then, I may well have just clicked the default settings given to me without paying closer attention to how the Battleships were allocated…

But thanx either way for clearing this up for me  :-) (I’ll pay closer attention on triple-A next time… I might even try re-simulating the situation and see how the program handles it  :wink: )

Thanks.

Air units can retreat from any combat, but must do so all at the same time.

If the land units retreat, then ALL remaining units must retreat.
Land units all have to go to the SAME TERRITORY, which must be a territory that at least 1 of the land units that fought in the battle came from.
Air units can land in any friendly territory in range (friendly as of the start of the current national turn).

@Jennifer:

In that case they are +4 IPC for Caucasus that turn.  However, they are not in an tactical advantage and Russia has suffered no loss for loosing it.

Net:  Russia Tactical Advantage with larger then normal stack in W. Russ.  IPC Gain +2 (WR)
Net:  Germany at no advantage, IPC gain of 4 in Cauc, IPC loss of 2 WR, net 2 IPC gain, tactical disadvantage due to larger then normal stack in WRuss.

The way I see it, Germany gains +4 IPC from the territory, and +1 IPC from the 1/3 chance of killing a unit with minimum value 3 IPC (one infantry), so net +5 IPC for investment of +3 IPC.  Germany also benefits from tying down the UK bomber for that turn, which is not trivial; a UK bomber can do a lot of damage to valuable naval units.

The Allies gain a tactical advantage from killing a forward placed German infantry, as well as the fact that the UK, not Russia, depleted Germany’s forces, which in turn allows Russia’s forces to mass and therefore be more efficient.

Russia gains nothing by holding West Russia because I believe Russia should hold West Russia until Germany has heavily massed at Ukraine.  That is, Russia should probably be holding West Russia anyways.

Many thanks. I thought that seemed a bit too potent ; )
