…and if the subs hit just put my ground units on Carolina
A main point of the attack was to get rid of the ground troops. I can edit the ground troops to C-I, but if so, the attack is no longer worth it and I will redo the CM.
We have very different play philosophies, and it goes to the crux of our past disagreements. Sure, you can kill them off
I agree with you. If your intent was to land the troops on C I, I am willing to edit them there, but then it makes no sense to sacrifice 4 subs to kill 2 transports. I was simply asking permission to change the J-16 CM if the value of the attack was greatly reduced.
No it’s just humorous Art, it’s like debating about rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. I don’t think there’s ever a reason to leave troops on a transport. You just do it to expedite things instead of unloading them and then having to reload them the next turn. So you just leave them maybe out of laziness. But for this game it doesn’t matter, you can take them off and redo the combat move or you can just let them be. I just hope that you will soon capitulate and let me continue the tournament against Nikola.
There are a couple of reasons for not unloading troops off a transport. The one relevant to the present game, if my memory is correct (which is not safe to assume) is that troops cannot be loaded onto a TT in a contested zone unless accompanied by a warship that accompanies them on their route. If so and the UK troops are on C-I, they could load on the TT in 35 if the DD there accompanies them. This not a problem unless the destination is SZ6 where a kamikaze or scrambled plane could take out the DD or a SZ protected by a Japanese sub. The ANZAC troops do not have this option and would be prevented from moving during their next CM.
ok, lets just leave them on
