Sometimes the dice work with you, and sometimes they don’t.

Not sure what to do, Jim.
Your mech and tank actually can’t go to TrJ because of the Egyptian naval base.  They can’t blitz Egypt.

I guess you get to re-do your turn and avoid those dice that were in my favor.

[gamerman01]

You also can’t pick up 2 infantry from North Italy from Z94 and make it to Z98 because you aren’t starting at a naval base.  That is 3 moves.

Looks like you definitely need to just re-do the whole turn and I’m just out of luck that I don’t get to keep those dice.

[gamerman01]

I must have been completely blind to the Italian possibilities of attacking TrJ when I did UK  :-P
Even without the mech and armor you can bring 4 ground units, bombardment, and a bomber  :oops:

[jim010]

Ugh.

Use the unit from Tun then.  That will work.  I’ll update map.

Are you certain about the naval base preventing blitz?  Never played that way before.

[gamerman01]

Already looked it up in the rulebook.  You’ve been playing wrong, man.

Bottom of page 14 in the Europe manual - couldn’t be more clear

[jim010]

Well that sucks.

I can’t have my cake and eat it too.  In my game with Seth there was as similar problem.  You will have to keep your dice regarless, as will I minus any hits from my tank and mec.

Give me a moment to figure this out.

[gamerman01]

See my PM

I’m completely fine with you re-doing your combat move entirely and throwing away those dice.  That would be disappointing to me, but really it’s like those dice never happened.

Take your time.

[jim010]

No, Its a league game.  Need to play by the rules.

A friendly game I always allow this stuff.

That being said, my tank never hit, and I never got 3 hits with the ones, so my dice will not be affected.

I guess I don’t take Trj, then, unless I want to lose a bmb.

Give me a sec.

[jim010]

Ok, to satisfy the dice, I take 2 inf from Alex, and the inf and art from Tun.

The art, mec and tank will take Egy.

That should work.  I’ll have to fine tune this for next time.

[jim010]

This should be correct.

I took 1 inf 1 art from Tun to Trj.

The 2 inf from Nit go to Yugo

I will take Egy with 1 art, 1 mec, 1 tank.

Much weaker than I would have liked, but thems the breaks.

As I said in a regular game, I have no problem with being courteous and allowing changes, but I just had Cmdr Jennifer make a ruling in another game for a situation just like this.  The combat moves have to stand.

Whoa, whoa, whoa
You can’t go through the Strait of Gibraltar because the British still control Gibraltar.

[jim010]

For crying out loud.

I’ll wake up eventually.

Keep the sub in sz91.  The rest goes to sz92.
