Skynet Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Orders are still due tomorrow? It's kind of hard to make appropriate plans if you're not sure what's going on with Austria.

Deraldin Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I gave him quite long enough to submit them. If I do not have them by this evening at 2400 UTC I will void his builds. And we will continue to Spring 03, due tomorrow. If he has not submitted orders by then. he will be evicted and we will need another player. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is only one possible build he can do. An army in both places. Why not just give Austria those builds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archmonarch Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 Orders are still due tomorrow? It's kind of hard to make appropriate plans if you're not sure what's going on with Austria. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They are due only if Austria does not submit build orders. Otherwise, I will give extension as necessary, though I would still like to continue quickly. Also, Skynet, it would help if you sent me your orders ahead of time, such that if you forget AGAIN you would have something to fall back on. There is only one possible build he can do. An army in both places. Why not just give Austria those builds? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Two reasons: 1. I am the GM, and as such must be a neutral party. It is not my responsibility to look after any one country, but instead to maintain the integrity of the entire game. If a player does not give me orders, I cannot ethically make them up, even if there was only one option. 2. If Bokishi does not submit orders for W02 or S03, it will display to me that he does not have the dedication required to play this game. Thereby, we will locate a replacement.

metadigital Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I have over half the players of OBS-2 not submit orders this week. I am seriously considering abandoning the game, due to lack of interest.

Thereby, we will locate a replacement. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought I emailed you my winter builds 2 days ago. Have you checked? Also I sent in 2 orders but by accident labeled my second set of orders as "spring builds" it should just say spring moves. Current 3DMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveilled Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Im not aware that you can support a supporting unit. If I am mistaken, say so. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're mistaken. "A unit that is ordered to hold, convoy, support, or not ordered at all can recieve support in holding its position." Supporting a Unit, p7. Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN!

metadigital Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Corrections AUSTRIA These are illegal move orders: A Ser S A Tri - Tyr A Bud S A Tri - Tyr page 8 of the manual: Simple Support ... A unit does not have to be adjacent to the unit it is supporting. However, it must be next to the province into which it is giving support and must be able to legally move there itself. So the result is a 3:2 win for ITALY A Tyr - Tri If there is no retreat submitted for AUSTRIA A Tri, then it is disbanded. FRANCE F ENG S RUSSIAN F Nwy - NTH Rule 11: A dislodged unit, even with support, has no effect on the province that dislodged it.

The orders as I received them are as follows: A Tri-Tyr A Ser S A Tri A Bud S A Tri A Vie S A Tri-Tyr F Gre-HOLD So I first had to interpret them, then I had to figure out the rules. As I said, the rules .pdf was down when I last looked, and I did these in kind of a hurry, so...yeah.

metadigital Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Ok, that's different, then. That makes it 3:3 stand-off between Tyr and Tri, so no-one moves. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archmonarch Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 Except that a defensive support order is illegal when the supported unit is ordered to move. Thus, since A Tri did not hold, A Bud S A Tri and A Ser S A Tri are illegal. Thus, the three prong attack defeats the two defenders and Italy moves into Trieste.

EnderAndrew Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I'm confused. How did Russia end up in the NTH sea? He attacked with a strength of one, and France's support was cut. Where did the English fleet in the NTH sea go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
