I don't think anyone moved within my AZOI (common theme lately) so this is a surprise attack, which probably means you get 12 as an auto--34 (+1, +3)? I'm going to conclude that. |

Well, I guess first they'd suffer a step loss, and then next turn they'd be fully eliminated if an HQ didn't move closer. I just want to make sure I've understood correctly how this all works. |

Hey man, sorry my message could have been clearer. You're not attacking Taiwan, only Okinawa and Iwo Jima, and the move is definitely legal. My only question is what happens to the unit in Okinawa (or, hypothetically, Taiwan) at the end of the turn, since as far as I can tell that section of the map is out of range of either CPac or SW Pac HQs. My understanding is that if you're not within supply range of any Allied HQ then the unit dies at the end of the turn, is that right? This was my rationale for leaving Okinawa and Taiwan uncovered by AZOI. |

Hey, help me out with something: aren't Okinawa and Taiwan out of range of all Allied HQs? In other words, that Marine division will be eliminated at the end of the turn unless you redeploy one of your HQs forward? Or am I missing something... |

Haha, the one thing I have really learned from you is not to take EOTS or any other game too personally--though while I have absorbed the lesson intellectually it will take me a long time to reach your level of zen! More than mere lack of interest, Philippe's post and Mark's follow-up re: the BPA final reminds me that at the highest levels players treat this game like chess or Go in the subtlety of their strategies, while I'm just playing toy soldiers. Little wonder nobody wants to help tinker around with a simple scenario, they are trying to push the limits of possibility within the system to win amazing games! Anyway, I think we should press on, but the deafening silence isn't particularly encouraging. :) |
