You can still join the fun and take over an inactive Country! EMAIL: [email protected] to sign up! Game Room ========== http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/dipworlda2/ In Winter you can Build Units outside of Home Supply Centers, Convert an unit into another Type of Unit, and Build Fighter Units. You can convert any unit with a Engineer unit to another unit type. If we look at the map you will see USoA has NE ite (Indian Territory); with the order (Convert N ite to F ite) he creates a Fighter unit in ite. This season there is no Engineer on a SC outside of a countries Home SC so no example of a outside build can be shown. If next Winter Ghana has just E gha and no Navy he could order Build F Gha gaining a Fighter unit some distance from his Home SC. All players, if they wish to do so, can now build a Fighter Unit. This unit can capture an unoccupied Neutral SC or move to a friendly SC up to two areas away from its location. It can execute support orders up to two areas from its location, and it can cut all supports for a stationary unit or a move order, up two Areas away from its location. This is a very powerful unit, but it does have a weakness or two. Unless it is being ordered to hold it can be dislodged by an unsupported attack. It would require two supports to dislodge an adjacent unit, and it can not move two areas away unless it is moving to an unoccupied Supply Center owned by its power or the Neutral power. So get creative and have fun with your new build powers. Oh! Remember how you promised your neighbours not to build an army or fleet in (so and so) place, you didn't say anything about a Fighter. With Fighters I wished to stick as close to the diplomacy model as possible. You can only do one thing at a time with your fighter. Attempt to change location, Support, Damage or hold. Location change to an adjacent area is also an attack, a location change to two areas away is not an attack and requires a neutral ,or owned unoccupied, and uncontested SC destination to work. No! You do not order F War-Sil-Ber, the order is F War-Ber. Examples: F Ber S A Sil-War notice War is two areas away from Ber F Ber-Mun is an attack F Ber-War is an attempt to change the location of your Fighter Base F Ber D A War-Sil A Boh S A War-Sil, A Pru S A War-Sil are both cut F Ber D A War A Boh S A War, A Pru S A War, A Sil S A war are all cut Thats right creating a stalemate line in this game will require some air cover. F Vie S A War will defeat the Fighter damage move and all supports are good again.
