Soul, a rules question please: If I take friendly neutral Greece with UK in non-combat, can I land air there that might not have an AC anymore in sz 97 but was flown there from UK, so using all movement to reach 97. Rulebook says stranded air can find a friendly adjacent territory to land on. Not sure if Greece would qualify, ie if I would need it from the beginning of the UK turn. ANZAC air can land on Sumatra in non-combat when just taken in the same non-combat phase, but not sure if tripleA has it right there.

I highly doubt you can. I remember reading an explanation about it on the forum. DOW is different as you can land UK/Anzac there as the dutch are their allies and the dutch control it at the beginning of the turn.

I did find this when I googled it quickly:

If you want to be completely certain. Ask gamerman or post the question in the 2nd edition rules forum.

[lexgreat]

nah, I guess you are right, this Dutch thing makes the difference here.Thx.

[lexgreat]

strange however, tried out in local mode, if I want to land the air on the just taken Greece (without combat), tripleA lets me do it.

Triple allows some things that shouldn´t be allowed. Like flying over neutral tt´s isn´t allowed, but triple A doesn´t care.

three test runs, and I never won that damn 80% battle. And live not better.

[lexgreat]

Scramble orders, pls.

[Soulblighter]

@alexgreat:

Japan surviving with 4 ground units in Yunan is bad for the allies. Not getting a single hit round 1 was the problem. If you had gotten one hit there, things would have been easier. I often see bids that also include an artillery unit for the chinese and I think that is the way to go. It at the very least helps you get back Yunan in cases like this.

Scramble three fighters. Ask for OOL.

[lexgreat]

I am close to giving up AA now. This Allied turn is ridiculous.

[Soulblighter]

@alexgreat:

I am close to giving up AA now. This Allied turn is ridiculous.

It is. However. I don’t think Tobruk and Ethiopia are worth taking this much risk. You overextended your allied forces and took some (big) gambles. Ethiopia was less then 50% odds. If you included bombardment from the cruiser, the odds might have been slightly better. Still a risky battle. You attacked Tobruk under the assumption a 92% battle would swing your way. Now 92% of the time it works out, but in this case it didn’t. We can look at the state of the game after the uk turn is said and done. At this point I might be willing to act like ethiopia didnt happen as that was just a plain massacre, but not sure how that helps the allies. Still finishing the uk turn first seems best.

As for OOL. cruiser 1 hit and bb 1 hit.

[lexgreat]

Soulblighter, I didnt expect to win Ethiopia, I am not a rookie. But one hit? Also, the Cruiser couldnt go there because it might have been needed to block 37, cause due to super Yunnan dice over Japan and China I was vulnerable in Burma to TTs. Without a J1 DOW CR would have gone to Africa.

Not even taking Tobruk, come on. I cant go for 100% all the time as allies. The battle was 98% and have 5,6 units left on average. Ok, the sea loss brought that to 92, with 4,3 remaining. Oc things can go wrong, but as Allies, if Yunnan, Africa, naval ALL go wrong, thats really hard to take.

And as for taking the “risk”, with your bombers I really cant let so many Italians live in Africa, I think.

Look, nothing personal, and your offer in Africa is much appreciated - and wont be accepted, as the risk is mine. I know I handle, at times, dice not as cool as I should in a dice game, sorry for that. But at times I feel its not a game of skill and wits at all.

I cant see you not taking Egypt immediately. If you do and succeed and agree it will be tough for Allies to come back, shall I report the game for the 15L as we finished in time, and start a new one? Whats your opinion in reversed roles, start can be overcome?

I dislike playing the allies. Not sure why. In the past I have won as the allies, but I just don’t like playing as the allies. Doesn’t mean I won’t play as the allies, but I just prefer not to.

As for you reporting this game. That is entirely up to you. If you feel you can’t come back from this, then you should report it. I intended this game to last into the new league season, but I can understand if you wish to avoid starting the league with a loss.

Nope, I wont take away this from you if you want it in 16L (and thats what we intended, minus my plans going so wrong). Pls play on.
With new game I meant same bid, same side. You dont need to play Allies.
