4 player game (Orm, Peskpesk, jjdenver and Mayhemizer)

[Orm]

Axis won the initiative and decided to go first. But after seeing the weather Germany begins to wonder if that was the right call. [:)]

[Orm]

I am a bit confused. And it might be that we have a bug. The French fleet in the Baltic Sea didn't have access to a port that it could have been returned to and should therefore have been destroyed. However, it remain in the Baltic Sea.



Cut from RAC:
When you can’t return to base
Destroy any unit (checked individually) that has no base to return to. It makes no difference if a unit
couldn’t return to base because it was out of range or was blocked by naval movement restrictions (see 8.2.10 and
11.4.4). [Clarification. You can not return to base to a port you could not normally make a naval move into - Dec.
23, 2007.]
Destroy any unit at sea that couldn’t have returned to base (even if it could stay at sea). [Clarification.
Infinite naval units may remain at sea provided at least 1 space (i.e., at a minor port) is available to which they could
have returned to base - Dec. 28, 2007.]

I didn’t know about that. French ships have always stayed at Baltic Sea many turns in MWIF.

[peskpesk]

So any suggestions, ruleing? Remove sentry, move to zero box and wait for end of turn and lrt them die then?

No need to replay turn end. Allies don’t initiate combat and ships are destroyed during next turn end.

Next time I don’t send sub, I thought it will fight when ships are destroyed in naval combat.

[Centuur]

Known bug. But it's considered to be minor, since the work around is pretty simple. Ignore these ships during play...

The new weather.

The die roll was a 4 that would give fairly fair weather but the +2 die modifier mess that up and brings truly lousy weather.
