I’m playing an opponent who is preventing Vichy from occurring by having the UK attack Italy’s destroyer and transport in SZ96 from SZ98 with a destroyer, cruiser, tactical from aircraft carrier in SZ98 and a fighter from Malta. Italy’s destroyer is sunk (and transport). Then in the Non-Combat phase, UK loads the transport in SZ98 and lands UK troops in Southern France. Since France is still an ally at this point, this is legal and effectively prevents Vichy mode, since Germany will now have to take Southern France on its next turn. There isn’t any way to prevent this as far as I can tell.

Hey gamerman, it looks like u might have an Allied loss missing in your stats. The Allied losses are one less than the Axis wins, which should be equal.
-
Yeah, couldn’t find it
-
I had a glitch in my recent game. I was playing the Axis and made a strategic bombing run on Moscow. I was never given a choice on what I was bombing and all the damage went against the airbase. I did multiple runs offline to see if I was making a mistake but never saw it.

Were there fighters that could intercept?
-
no fighters
-
can you post a saved game file?
-
If there’s no fighters, Triple-A prompts at the point of combat movement. If you remove the attack and add it again does it ask you?
Strictly speaking, that is the incorrect point to ask but it is adequate the way that it is.

There is the game file if you want to try it out. I tried multiple times and never got the choice.

Ok, I can duplicate it and not just in your save game. Looks like the selection gets confused by the presence of the tac bomber which can only hit the airbase (not sure why you would make that attack but hey, that’s not relevant).
If you open up a normal game and bomb Normandy with a tac and a bomber in one move, you get the problem. It isn’t map dependant either - it occurs on G40 and BM3.
-
It’s arguable that this is a bug or not. There is only one valid target for the tac, that is the airbase. If both planes in the attack are hitting the same target, as you expect when it’s done in one move, then the only valid target is the airbase.
I’m inclined to argue that it is not a bug. In the same way, if you had brought in a fighter, you wouldn’t be asked if you want to bomb because the fighter is an invalid attacker for SBR when there are no potential interceptors.
-
Oh yeah you need to separate the bombing run if it’s being done by different kinds of bombers if there are no fighters that can intercept.
-
AH! I see. that was my mistake. Thanks for clearing that up guys.

Is Columbia bordering the Carribean or Central America is bordering Venecuela?
I think it is the first but Triple a is giving me pain :lol:
-
Colombia seems to border both sea zones.
-
OK Amon, I’m home now so can look at my game board. Colombia appears to meet Z89 at a point, so seems to indicate that it does NOT border Z89.
If I’m wrong, hopefully Krieghund will correct me.

I feel sure that this has been clarified in the past, and a correction to the map was made to remove the link from Central America to Venezuela because it met at a point and therefore neither of the cross point zones should meet. So that also answers the question in hand.

-
Yeah.
