Scramble to 55?

[wheatbeer]

no scramble

[gamerman01]

:x
I only took 1 hit to an infantry the first time I ran this
Now you hit 4/4 on 2’s to start the round, 3 of them against quality units  :-(

[wheatbeer]

Do you want to try to work out some kind of deal to mitigate the dice somehow?

[gamerman01]

No, it’s just irritating for the moment, especially because the exact same thing happened in a recent German turn (4/4)

Wheat you are just an awesome person to play.  Many thumbs up for yet another classy response.

[gamerman01]

Uh, he’s not giving any charity.  He’s looking for future immunity or something.

Sometimes I do end up getting the better end of the deals I make (IPC-wise anyways), sometimes it’s about even, and sometimes I don’t even end up cashing in the favor before the game ends. Alleviating known bad results by sacrificing potential good results is ultimately another gamble.

Exactly… and I like your style wheat.

[gamerman01]

I’m a purist

Who’s down to 3 subs, 2 of which I just purchased  :-P

[wheatbeer]

Hey Gamerman … I accidentally moved my unloaded US transports along with my combat ships from SZ63 to SZ54 during CM.

Since that’s my only combat and it there’s no strategic reason to move them at all during CM, much less empty, is it alright if I use edit move transfer my land units from New Zealand to Queensland?

[gamerman01]

Sure

I do recommend that you try to get in the habit (like I did) of moving only combat move in the combat movement phase, but there’s no problem allowing that fix

[wheatbeer]

Thanks.

In this case it was a select all error (too convenient!). Though I admit I am also in the habit of making NCMs during CM … bad habit from Abattlemap.

[gamerman01]

Yeah…  :-)
Bold pointed out a few weeks ago that it is actually technically illegal to move anything in the combat move phase that is not a combat move!
Of course, I don’t have a problem with people doing that because it generally just reduces their options and locks them in to decisions that they can then not change after rolling dice, as you of course full well understand.

Interesting move going there - looking forward to seeing the mayhem you cause with China/UK, and then of course looking forward to what lays in store for Italy
