13L Playoff R1 Wheatbeer (+16) v Gamerman01(x)

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

Sorry about that … got distracted. Also had to remember what I’d planned on the Soviets turn regarding UK air.

I think Italy’s going to be my downfall in this match (which won’t bum me too much since allweneedislove would crush me) … though it’s really really tough to save the Soviets without sacrificing in the Med. somewhat.

No need to apologize - I’m the slow one
