15L bmnielsen (Axis) vs. Adam514 (Allies +23)

[Adam514]

@JDOW:

@Adam514:

So an empty transport that started the turn in a zone with an enemy destroyer can’t unload units in that same zone in the NC phase?

Yes, that is correct.

When starting in a hostile seazone units can decide in combat move phase to either stay = participate in a battle or leave the sz to avoid combat or to conduct combat elsewhere. In the latter case it is an exception that a unit can move in combat move phase without participating in a combat.

However in case the TT stays it participated in the battle (although it has no attack value) and thus it cannot perform any non combat moves.

That rule allowed a little exploit in the past. It was a common practice to move subs in NCM into seazones with large fleets (e.g. sz6 or Philippines). As a sub does not make a seazone hostile the boats could not leave the seazone in combat move phase without conducting combat.
This resulted in the dilemma for Japan that in case they kill the sub the entire fleet would be stuck in that sz which is often unacceptable for Japan.

However a couple of months ago krieghund announced an update because that was an unintended loophole.
Now boats starting the combat move phase with a hostile sub in the same sz can leave that sz during combat move phase to avoid combat. However transports like in your case would still not be able to transport units during NCM in case that sub would be attacked.

Hope this clarifies.
Yes thank you. The loophole with the sub seems ridiculous too, didn’t know about that.

Yeah I finish up 12 figs and 2 bombers… winning there was not my intention, and I won by a huge margin.

[bmnielsen]

Such is luck. Went just as extreme in my favour yesterday against Gamerman, so I guess my dice karma level is back in balance :)

Haha did you need it?

[bmnielsen]

Kind of hard to say, I’d probably have given a slight edge to his allies at that point, and certainly if the battle had gone well for him it would have been hard to come back from.
