The winner auto-moved off the board, hasn't had their points halved and won the game.

Umm doesn't seem right to me somehow.

Any suggestions?



It seems to relate to the issue FENRIS brought up in his thread.

It happened 8 turns ago, how could anyone tell where the winner exited the board?


By looking at the history that states that the winner exited the board and that he didn't do so with honour - simple really.

27. Pumba71 Retired honorably
26. GraysGhost fired at Pumba71, distance 2 with no deflection. 8 points. Damage R (Base:4,Stb:+1,Tail:+1,Fired:+1,Long:+1,Dice:+3).
25. GraysGhost fired at Pumba71, distance 2 with no deflection. 0 points. No relevant damages. (Base:4,Stb:+1,Tail:+1,Long:+1,Jammed).
23. GraysGhost fired at Pumba71, distance 2 with no deflection. 7 points. Damage B (Base:4,Stb:+1,Tail:+1,Long:+1,Dice:+1).
19. Natador_NMcHarg Retired

Notice the subtle difference between Pumba and Natador? The word honourably is missing.



Apparently, the UK definition of "simple" varies from the American definition.

Natador_NMcHarg retired with a tank full of fuel and no damage - that's why "honorably" is missing. How exactly does what you've presented indicate that he left on a non-home side?


If a player retires from the board on any side with guns and/or fuel then they have left dishonourably.

A dishonourable exit isn't just associated with a non-home side.

Just goes to show that you're a class player TX as you didn't know. Means you've never run away but always kept your honour intact. Salute.




I agree it's a bug, Natador scored 43 shooting points in the game, moved for 18 moves before leaving the board on turn 19 with fuel, engine and guns. He should I think therefore have had his score halved to 30 (scores round down I'm told) and yet the game records him as having 61 points. So that will have affected the scores for that league. Not much that can be done now I guess. Perhaps leaving the board whilst on automove should (for league games) count as if the plane is NOT still on map for determining if the game is a marginal victory or not.



Your score halved if you retire off any non-home edge, regardless of your plane's condition. Honorable retirement's only possible off your home side edge.

Thus, without being able to review the specific turn the player in question left, I would surmise he left by his own home edge, so labeled as Retired, but with no score penalty.

Thanks for the clarification Mark, I missed that detail in the rules - I had thought you score halved if it was not honourable retirement. I didn't realise they were seperate criteria.
Looks like I was wrong about it being a bug Edward
