False starts - sveint(J) vs Laxplayer(A)

Post by sveint »

As for restrictions, all I'm looking for is exactly what was written in the
original post on the opponents wanted forum. 1.) Keep your LCU's 6+ hexes
away from Karachi. 2.) We ignore "points" and any auto-victories, and just
play til someone cries "uncle." (which I won't do for at least 3+ game
years... I expect to get steamrolled all of '42).

Other than those two rules, and the stated game option settings (sub
doctrines off for both, stock map/db scenario 15, damage control on, PDU's
on), what you do on turn 1 is up to you. I'd actually prefer you to get as
aggressive as you can get with turn 1. And yes, I can move all existing
tf's on turn 1, as well as freedom to control anything under my China
Command, with the exception of the AVG, which I won't touch.

He left British BBs in port - why? I don't see it regulated by any rule, and I see absolutely no reson to leave them in port. Docked to defend Sing - maybe, but why in port?

Also, where da hell is Wallis Island? [&:]

Wallis Island is part of the Pacific chain of islands from Hawaii to Noumea. I set out to take several of them, but due to some teleporting land units bug(from one transport to another), most of these attacks failed. I'll give more details on turn 2 when I can either renew the attacks or withdraw.
 
As for Force Z, house rules said no moving anything but TFs. Erik did specify that he wanted me to be very aggressive (otherwise my only port attack would have been at Pearl Harbor).

I was very strict in following my own rules, which stated I would create no new tf's, and could only move existing ones. In the stock game, Force Z starts in Singapore's port. In fact in our first attempt at this game, I opened the first game turn to see both of the US CV's docked in PH... I didn't start CVtfs for them either. That wasn't the case in this next attempt at a start, they are out and about [8D]

I was more suprised about the complete lack of Malaya invasions... though I expect them to begin in the next turn or so.

Never noticed it on the map, so I guess it has to be 1/1 base [;)]

Wallis and Futuna - a French possession, they're practically your next door neighbors mate.....
