Rise of the Dictators 2

[McMonkey]

Doesn´t it make sense that I start playing my move again?
All that happened after my move is the illegal killing of fashist units....

Yes, that would make more sense!

Who spotted them?

I'll let Jerec explain that one!

[Cobra]

Once again: no news

[Alcibaides]

So let me see if I am clear. All air units must be left within 1 square of an existing city or airbase.

All land units must be left within 2 squares of an existing port city?

[McMonkey]

That is correct. The play order works quite well as Italy and Germany can deliver units to the Nationalists who have their turn before the Republicans so they cannot shoot down these aircraft in their handover turn outside the city. America, Britain and France can deliver units to the Republicans who have their turn before the Nationalists! Completely unintentional on my part but very convenient!!!

GERMANY: McMonkey
DICTATORSHIPS: Jerec
AMERICA: Cobra
BRITAIN: Civilionaut
FRANCE: Takamisakari
SOVIET UNION: Alcibaides
ITALY: Historical Atze

Zug wiederholt

[Jerec]

I'll let Jerec explain that one!

I'm eternally curious as to how an opponent foils my attacks, so after Alcibaides posted his last turn I loaded it in .sav mode and ran through my usual scouts. That's how I spotted the Americans and Brit bombers. However, McMonkey just explained to me that what I did above could be used to cheat- I could peek in between turns to deliver early reports on enemy unit positions to my allies. I won't be doing that again.

If I understand all this talk, we're just replaying the turns? No allowing the turns to stand with the sacrifice of a few Brit bombers?

[McMonkey]

Yes, it seems easier to replay as both issues can be resolved without complicated compromises. And Jerec, stop being so impatient and wait until your turn to find out

What you are doing is using your units to reveal parts of the map before its even your turn, then when it is your turn you have advanced knowledge of the map before you have moved ANY of your units. This is essentially the same as using "Cheat>Reveal Map"

Das ist ein Kindergarten hier...

It is certainly teetering on the brink! This community runs on trust and I trust Jerec when he says he would send out those particular scouting units at the start of his turn anyway so he has gained no unfair advantage, but it could easily put him in an awkward position re: advanced knowledge of enemy movements etc... I think it is clear that this practice, although not cheating, should be forbidden and we can draw a line under this

At the risk of blowing my own trumpet I am really enjoying this game (other than the technical glitches) and I can't wait to see how it all plays out!

[Alcibaides]

3 Fascist infantry killed on the outskirts of Barcelona

[Historical Atze]

Nichts.

[McMonkey]

Another 496 gold due to US (3rd turn at 10%). Total now 1371 gold.

[Jerec]

Barcelona attacked, but the Dictatorship soldiers were sadly exhausted before taking the city. 4 Republican Infantry and 1 Anti-Aircraft Rgt destroyed, 3 Infantry lost. An Armored Rgt assisted in the battle.

1 Republican Fighter shot down west of Barcelona.


4 British bombers were caught trespassing on a Nationalist airfield and destroyed.
