So, I have to ask this ....
Have you already triggered the US reinforcements for invading NA or not yet?
If so, do they not include a ton of fighters in this scenario?

Lok,
Lets see. I have no intention of fighting off road, but he has a lot of troops off road now and I want to keep them there. So, if he thinks I am willing to go off road, the longer it is before he moves back to the roads.
Stuck with Sonia and b for the whole war. I did not count squadrons but know it is a fair amount. Some of the Sonia b upgrade to Oscars though.[:)]
I will have enough armor pushing up from the south; having armor also push to Ankang will get him to move his artillery to that area I think or keep it there.
I wouldn't bother worrying about the Chinese "artillery" [:)]. I know they have more guns in DBB than they do in stock, but still... guns take supply. He won't have any.
I was under the impression is was a big boost...[&:]

They trigger when you touch Victoria or anyplace south of that line.
EDIT: I don't have scen 30 loaded on this machine so I can't check the USA reinformcement list. LCU's are a non-issue for me. Its the aircraft that can change the game. Don't know if any AC are released in your game.

The manual says the west coast of North America south of Vancouver.[&:]
Victoria is not on the coast of North America. It is on an island. It has a Canadian country code. Invading there will not trigger Counter Invasion Forces.
I hope.[X(] On page two I presented what I expect are the Counter Invasion Forces which I suspect I will trigger in Dec of 1942.

Mmmmm, in my recent game Victoria landings triggered a ton of reinforcements ... I rue the action greatly. I assume those reinforcements were the NA reinforcements. Maybe not. Will watch with interest here.

Moose's thread will give you the useful details, but here is an illustration. Emergency reinforcements has to do with hex rows (and maybe columns too or maybe only in some cases), plus country codes (maybe more than one code). Use the '4' hotkey to see the country code of a piece of land. Here is a pic from a from a Babes 28-C game showing country codes in that area.
No, it's not base occupation. But country code matters in addition to the hex. If you change a hex that will trigger to, say, Alaska's code then that hex would not trigger it.ORIGINAL: Lokasenna

Yep. Victoria will trigger the CONUS emergency package.
Just walking 1 hex south of Coal Harbour on that island will do so. So far as I know, it's an LCU over the line trigger, not a base occupation trigger.

Certainly: that was at or below the hex line in question, and the same country code in question.ORIGINAL: Lokasenna

My only first hand experience here is against the AI. I had LCUs in Australia and was advancing from outside of Brisbane westward towards Port Augusta. One of my tank LCUs decided to veer 1 hex south due to a better movement path, and it triggered the Australian emergency reinforcement package.
That's consistent with what I saw. Coal Harbor was fine. Victoria was one step too far.[;)]ORIGINAL: Bullwinkle58
I'm not going to say whether I think a landing at Victoria is a smart move or not. But as to the LOD/country code issue the country code in Canada does not control. Vancouver is y=49. Landing two hexes southeast of Coal Harbor at 206,50 will trigger the ER package for the USA. It's substantial. I just re-tested this to be sure.
Re harbor guns and the strait rules, in my test I only tested sailing past Victoria to land at Vancouver. I never tested landing head on into Victoria. The results might be similar, or might not. Just wanted to be clear.
I'm watching both sides. Interesting game.
