Semental,

I hope I didn't give you the wrong impression with my comment. For the record..I thought your viewpoint was reasonable and certainly worth throwing it out for discussion. I just thought that Eric needed to evaluate as he has. As I posted, my only concern was in making a change "midstream". I think Eric's view of adding Benghazi to the Exception List makes very good sense! So...Well DOne Semental!

I have no objection to giving up Benghazi to the Minor Axis. After the early loss of the North-African Army I have no forces left there to protect it (and certainly can't spare any reinforcements from elsewhere...). At the moment it is only getting into That-Guy's and semental's way, so in my opinion it makes sense to give it to Minor Axis.

Perhaps they can do a better job of protecting the poor North-African people from exploitation by the evil imperialistic British Empire! :D

Anyone against it?

Lanz..yes in the middle of a game. That's not the time to make rule changes even if they make sense. Now, if you want to start a new game with revisions...I'm ok with that! After all..this is a Play Test game for Eric to see how changes affect gameplay. By all means..Let's call a Draw :)

Lanz..yes in the middle of a game. That's not the time to make rule changes even if they make sense.

But the .sav that I just got from Knutis had Benghazi already assigned to MinorAxis?! (I guess semental took Eric's comment as "yes" and then sent the turn where he had accepted the town on to muzbang.)

This means we have two options:
  • Either semental has to send the other .sav, where he didn't take the town, on to muzbang, and then muzbang, Knutis and me have to replay (which is bad, because I just spend 1.5 hours on it this morning)
  • Or we decide that semental just gifts the town back to me next turn and no harm has yet been done?!

I will post my battle report, after we made that decision. (In any case I would hate to replay this turn: it was a lot of tedious micro management and worker mm...)

Lanzelot
 
Well look..it seems to take forever to get one complete turn done in a speedy timeframe so probably not worth sweating it at this point. I don't care at this point. But that is just my take. I would suggest from here on out that we stick with guidelines we have. But that doesn't mean not bringing up stuff as the game goes along. Hope that makes sense to all. Play On!

While major construction work has been done on the home-front and in the factories, the frontline saw no large scale fighting this month. Both sides seem to regroup and recover from the previous blows.

A Submarine sinks US Carrier in the Atlantic.
Bombardment of Moscow area. Tank kills Cav division.

No, I hope That-Guy does not take any offense as I did raze him a bit. It was all meant in fun. It is a short turn and easy to re-do it without harm.

I sent Muzbang both plays so I am not sure which went forward.

It is difficult to handle this in a game as this. Resource sharing is certainly valid to a degree that it does not exceed what would take place. I do not think Bengazi needs to be a special case but if a contested city is undefended and uncaptured then it should be available for control switch. How do you do that I am not sure.

I sent both turns on but it may not have been clear to Muzbang.

Sorry for mucking the turn up.
 
Yes, i've received 2 files... and i've played the first... so i may be the guilty.
I though it was the same...............

tell me if we have to re-play it
 
I'm wondering, does Formosa count as one of the Japanese home islands, or do I have to ship the oil up to Okinawa? So far I've been taking it to Okinawa.

Not at all. I understand why you want it, but I hope you understand why I think its best if it stays unavailable for you to capture ;)
 
As we are playing the wrong turn I will give Benghazi back the way I found it. I will put the troops mostly back where they came from.
