Sorry about the mess.

It wasn’t letting me load units onto transports in 106
Then I was finetuning the positions of my 6 UK units on Morocco/Gibraltar.

Aw, shoot, I didn’t even get done with this post and I see something else I could do better.

Moved 4 AA and 2 fighters to Scotland
Sorry again - I’m not nearly as neat as you

[gamerman01]

Make that 2 AA  :-P

@Gamerman01:

the damn french are going to take egypt. they are going to run all of africa.

[gamerman01]

How did you get 5 mech to Novgorod?  The one from Poland can’t blitz.

[gamerman01]

@Gamerman01:

How did you get 5 mech to Novgorod?  The one from Poland can’t blitz.

I had even tested it to see if TripleA would let you and it didn’t let me.  How did you get it to work?
Mech has to start and end with the paired tank to blitz.

[gamerman01]

Yeah, your 5th mech hit, too, wouldn’t you know it.  Looks like you “tricked” TripleA into getting the 5th mech up there.  I’m sure you were unaware that it was illegal to move the mech there from Poland.

I should have a fighter surviving for round 2.

I’ll roll it now
Rolls: 6@3; Total Hits: 06@3: (5, 5, 6, 5, 4, 4)Rolls: 1@4; Total Hits: 01@4: (6)

[gamerman01]

That was the strangest roll I’ve seen in a long time.
If my fighter misses again, it will make no difference.
Again, this is because your 5th mech (the illegal one) hit in TripleA, so you should have only scored 5 hits in round 1 and my fighter would have survived for round 2.

Here’s round 3
Rolls: 6@3; Total Hits: 36@3: (1, 6, 1, 5, 3, 5)Rolls: 1@4; Total Hits: 11@4: (1)

[gamerman01]

You lose a tank.  You could have non-commed the mech to Novgorod from Poland, but it can’t reach Novgorod in the combat move.

Do you want to noncom the mech to Novgorod, and do you agree with what I’m saying and how I’ve handled it?
If so, let me know and I can then make Russia’s move.

Krieghund has clearly said that mech must be paired with a tank throughout the entire combat move from start to finish to blitz.

[gamerman01]

Never mind - I’m not attacking it anyway.  1 mech and 5 armor is too much to attack, especially when I can blitz a tank to Norway.

I’ll proceed.  I’m removing a tank from Novgorod, so you have 5 there.

[allweneedislove]

@Gamerman01:

How did you get 5 mech to Novgorod?  The one from Poland can’t blitz.

i did not know the rule. i thought it was legal as there were enough tanks, but just checked the rulebook now and see it is illegal if they do not start in the same territory.
