Nov/Dec 1939 Impulse 11 (Axis) Ground Strike: None Rail Movement: None Land Movement: Italy The Italians make some detail changes on the French border Germany The Germans continue to switch between west and East... and once again completely forget to move a unit but I can't be arsed to go back just for that. Japan The Japanese have hit a brick wall and don't know what to do next. They shuffle a few units around. Land Combat: None Rebase: None Reorganisation: None Rnd of Turn: Turn Ends on less than a 6 (a 5 is thrown)

No partisans USSR puts marker to defence. US put marker in Ja pool. The Bearn is interned by the US for refit as a USN CV. The Germans and Italians get the most upset (3 rolled, chit to Ge/It tension pool).

quote: ORIGINAL: Courtenay quote: ORIGINAL: warspite1 quote: ORIGINAL: Courtenay quote: ORIGINAL: warspite1 quote: ORIGINAL: AllenK It'll have to be Assault as no retreat path. warspite1 Sorry, until I understand the rule I will have to keep asking [&:]. A unit can not retreat into an impassible hex, across an impassible hexside, onto an enemy unit, or into a vacant hex that has an enemy ZOC exerted into it. Also, if it retreats into an overstack, it must continue retreating not into a hex it has retreated from. If there is no hex it can retreat to after a chain of retreats, it is destroyed. warspite1 Okay thanks the two bits in bold is what confused me. But I get it now. The overstack presumably can be any length but needs to end not in ZOC. Yes about the any length. It can only end in an enemy ZOC if there is a friendly unit there already. Can't go to a vacant hex in an enemy ZOC. One thing I forgot: If a hex is going to be attacked later in the combat phase, retreating into it has the same effect as retreating into an overstack. A unit may do so, but must continue retreating. I deliberately did not discuss retreat priorities, because these never affect whether a unit survives -- if it can survive, it will. The retreat priorities only affect which hex a unit winds up in.

Edit: Wrong thread.

AllenK -> RE: Folly Part Deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 (4/19/2020 2:34:00 PM)
This may take a while. I got the Allied trade and production all set up then when I went to Finalize Production MWiF decided to overwrite some of my default routes and idle the Canadian oil being sent to France despite spare CP points being available. In Final Production, it wouldn't let me reset the oil and put in the route. Going to have to go back to square one and see if I can get it to work another way but can't be bothered now as it took a lot of work to get it set in the first place!

AllenK -> RE: Folly Part Deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 (4/19/2020 3:47:06 PM)
Okay, think I found where the problem may have occurred. At the Stay at Sea phase, MWiF had set 3 CW CP's to green for RTB and these had to be reset to stay. It took me two run through's to identify these, which is frustrating. When I went onto Production Planning at the Stay at Sea stage, after resetting them, I saw the same carnage as I found at finalise production. Fortunately, I could change things back to how they should have been and the changes then stuck through to Finalise Production. Steve, please can you disable whatever function it is that automatically puts some CP's as green for RTB so that the player has to find them and reset them to stay. Once placed I would prefer all CP's to stay that way and it's up to me to change this. If I forget, that's my problem. The feature doesn't seem to add in any value and is actually menace as it seems to disrupt what was set at Preliminary Production.

AllenK -> RE: Folly Part Deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 (4/19/2020 4:38:35 PM)
Allied End of Turn. Stay at Sea RTB. CW - Various escorts stay out in Atlantic and East Med. BB's and CA stay in North Sea. CVL from Biscay to Liverpool. TRANS from North Sea to Plymouth. France - A couple of CL's stay in West Med. TRANS from Cape Verde to St. Nazaire. Oil use CW expends an oil point (0.6), France and US zero to reorg all. Production China 3 - INF CW 9 - Dutch CL 2nd. CP, FTR-2 x2, Pilot, MIL. France 4 (strat bombing shows it's value for Germany!) - MIL x2 US 11 - AMPH, Repair Saratoga, TERR, CVP-1, Pilot, Sub 2nd. USSR 8 - GARR x2, Pilot x2. Belgium government relocates to the Congo. Reinforements China - INF to Chegtu. CW - Scraps Wellesley. Pilot to P-40, London. INF to Bristol. CA to Plymouth. France - Scraps CVP and D510. Pilot to MS 406, Paris. Metz MIL to hex SW of Metz. MIL to Bordeaux. CVP to Reserve pool. US - Scraps 2 TBD's. TERR to Manilla. INF Div to San Diego. USSR - Scraps NAV. Initiative: Axis 2, Allies 5. Re-roll: Axis 10, Allies 10. Choice is with Allies, who elect to move first. Weather remains a touch nippy in the significant zones.

Apologies for the delay. I'd forgotten it was the Allies move. Now, if I could just remember what it was that was vital enough for me to go for the re-roll [8\|].

No land combat. France rebases a FTR to the hex SE of Billotte. CW rebases FTR's to Calais and the hex west of Antwerp. No reogs. Back to the Axis.

Both lots of Chinese shuffle about a bit. [image]local://upfiles/47730/FA36B3428A244F4391AA45C4CEBD4A28.jpg[/image]

AllenK -> RE: Folly Part Deux: AllenK vs Warspite1 (5/2/2020 5:09:07 PM)
No land combat. CW loads up a couple of CV's at Plymouth and rebases a CVP from Glorious at Plymouth to Eagle at Liverpool. No reorgs. Turn continues on an 8 (less than 2).
