OoB Open Tournament - February 2023

It can heal and fix in a next turn standing next to stuf. Works on units and also bunkers and such if I am not mistaking...

[roywfw]

Ooh... I never thought of repairing a bunker, I'll have to check that out. As far as repairing/healing units is concerned, they can heal themselves without the jeep if sufficient repair points are available. Thanks for the reply.

[Shards]

The jeep ability doesn't cost you RP (which can get very low for the USA on Wake)

[pupski]

The jeep can heal stuff of the same category which should be land units. Never tried if it can heal airfields (hint, hint). Will try now so I can be ready if my opponent ever takes his first turn. And it is cheaper healing with the jeep. The US units will run out of RP if you waste any just a bit too much RP.

Today I cant connect to PBEM serwer... What is this?
UPD. Now its ok.

Hmmm... RP free, I guess I should have noticed that and I wish I'd learned it earlier.
Thank you all for the answers.

[rth]

RP free no ... I was always deducted RP,
I don't know if it was less when healed with a jeep,
the only difference i noticed is that the jeep always heals 3 strength points, without jeep 2 strength points (moving units)

[Shards]

Tbh, the only reason you've got a jeep on that scenario is that I wanted the USA to have the specialism that gives RP for being in combat. The jeep is just a bonus.

[pupski]

I tried the jeep once again and it can be handy to strengthen a hangar at the start of the scenario to 6 points. Other option is fixing the anti ship guns so they do a bit of damage to warships. It's a fun jeep. If ever I get to play this scenario in the tournament... tick tack, tick tack,...

Dishearteningly, that’s a fake point. If you due a 3-point-damage to the "6 points hanger", it will explode anyway.

Through some special methods, that jeep can change the game. I wonder if someone has noticed that in the deployment mode, all the units are in "without any movement" status, and the jeep can be deployed to so much position. So one may deploy the jeep here and repair this then deploy the jeep there and repair that and so on. I used this trick to repair nearly all my bunkers and coastal guns, that's why @omistaja said that my "deploying turn with medical jeep" caused him a lot of trouble. I'm curious if it's a "legal" usage for the jeep in designers' opinion⊙﹏⊙∥

Wow! If this is true it seems a bug to me. Or the jeep becomes the best unit in this scenario...

I would say that was exploitation of a bug and is frowned upon.

[pupski]

Oh, if it's a bug than ignore my grand ideas. Now you say it like that it feels like sort of a bug. On the other hands it could also be a combined force of medics and builders that are multitaskers. Who knows? In the end you have not much time to exploit its multifunctionality anyway. Never thought about it being a bug but yes, could be.

[amenhotep13]

It's a "half bug"

I tried it on a hotseat game. The jeep can be deployed and heal a bunker or hangar or anything at arrival but if you remove it then it can't be deployed again in the deploy phase. Although the healed unit remains healed
It can be deployed in further turns but it's not able to heal at arrival

Is it the same in hotseat and PBEM ? I don't know

Don't remove it. Just deploy it to another position - I mean just click another position that you can deploy something.

[weizhinaihe]

I think this method is quite feasible, and so does AdmiralYamamoto's.
BTW, I had intended to reply to your message after completing the turn, but I forgot after the stressful game( ╯□╰ )
So, good luck too and hope the game would make you feel less cold

Well, your deploying turn with medical jeep made me feel a little warmer, but I like the challenge

Ahem... The American force seems so weak so I make many attempts to find effective strategy for defending, but I seem to have exploited a bug according to @Shards, I'm sorry for that.

Hi all!

My 1st tournament ever and liking it....but....is it normal to wait 3 days for your opponent to make a move?
All the best and good luck to all the participants!

[rth]

Actually, it should be clear to everyone what paramedics do,

I always had a guilty conscience because at the beginning of the senario I used the SaniJeep as a reconnaissance vehicle and positioned it on the coast to have a better eye on an additional blind spot in the sea,

but when I read that he was employed by others as a civil engineer, aircraft mechanic and other things, then I can sleep peacefully again in the future

eigentlich müsste jedem klar sein was Sanitäter so leisten ,

ich hatte immer ein schlechtes Gewissen, weil ich am Anfang des Senarios den SaniJeep als Aufklärer einsetzte und habe ihn an der Küste positioniert um einen zusätzlichen toten Winkel im Meer besser im Auge zu haben,

wenn ich aber lese das der von anderen als Bauingenieur , Flugzeugmechaniker und anderes eingesetzt wurde , dann kann ich ja wieder in Zukunft ruhig schlafen

A lot of players manage to play at least daily but some players don't manage to do that. Also a small part doesn't show up at all, there are numerous reasons that live can throw at us players, including lack of time, life issues or disinterest to name a few. You get a decent point compensation for your score after the time has expired when your opponent played less or not at all, but you miss out on the fun of playing the game. At the moment I am waiting five days for my opponent to start his game. Playing is more fun than waiting
