13L G40.2 AllWeNeedIsLove vs Gamerman01 (Allies +10)

[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.

[allweneedislove]

@Gamerman01:

Do you want to noncom the mech to Novgorod

,
yes

@Gamerman01:

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.

yes, it is fair how you handled it. you could have forced me to redo the turn as it was illegal, so this is much easier and better for me.

please proceed with ussr

[gamerman01]

Done - forgot to post the move, but it’s all in here

I appreciate your reasonableness

the jet piece is freaking cool - first time i saw it in tripleA!

[boldfresh]

do heavy bombers look any different?

[gamerman01]

@Boldfresh:

do heavy bombers look any different?

Not much.  It has 2 little bomb icons below it - see my game with Kabloom.
If the plane design is different, it’s not much different.

Wait - the tac bombers look a LOT different when you get heavies - again, see my game with Kabloom.  Not sure why they changed tacs because they don’t get anything from heavy bombers tech

Have you seen super subs (game with Jeff)?  They’re pretty cool…

[gamerman01]

Speaking of freaky - jets in 1941 or 1942?!
