G40 Marsh (Allies +14) vs. StuckTojo (Allies) No VCs

[MarshmallowofWar]

Fighters.

At the start of Italy’s turn, Greece was friendly to the UK (as it was a UK controlled territory). That means that if the carrier is wounded that the fighters can land there.

If you want to go get a ruling on the fighters in Greece thing that’s fine. If the ruling comes down against me, then we’ll toss the cruiser and leave the fighters in the sea zone, or rerun the battle and I’ll give you an order of loss.

[StuckTojo]

OK, we have a good old fashioned debate on our hands here.   :lol:

How about we take it to the forum.  The quote above states “not friendly neutral” which I cut and pasted right from the rule book (p.22).

Also, p. 10 specifically mentions land units only:  “They can be moved into (but not through) as a noncombat move by land units of a power that is at war (see �Noncombat Move,� page 22)”

That said, I’ve been wrong before, so I’ll submit the question to the forum.

Is that cool with you?

[MarshmallowofWar]

Sure, that’s fine. I think the confusion is on turn vs round. Each round is composed of one turn per power.

[MarshmallowofWar]

Just so we’re clear, the fighters were on the carrier until you put a hit on it. They were forced to land in Greece during Italy’s non-combat phase.

[StuckTojo]

Oh crap!!!

That’s the part I did’t get.

OK. Never mind.  My mistake, then.  Go ahead and go for Germany.

[StuckTojo]

ANZAC, I mean.

[MarshmallowofWar]

I already did.

[MarshmallowofWar]

Oh yeah, and I made my first serious mistake on France’s turn – I should have killed the Italian transport.

[StuckTojo]

@Marshmallow:

I already did.

Ah, so you did. I’m really on a roll this week.

Going now.
