team play [Answered]

I'm in two team games right now and my team members are missing turns in both games. Of course the other team is winning, since all three of the team members on that team actually play every turn. I'm new and these are my first team games. Any advice?

Right,

Unfortunately I cannot help you here apart from some advice

With team games make sure you are with people who have a high grievance rating
A) because they are more likely to be reliable players

OR

Join the team last therefor you know whos on your side

OTHERWISE

I will join some doubles with you if you want to

I recommend that you post in the callouts forum for a teammate.

Its better to know who you're playing with, and your team-play will improve if you're playing with a regular partner.

instead of posting a new thread, i'll join this one.

I am playing a CHAINED DOUBLES STANDARD CLASSIC_ MAP FLAT_RATE game with a good friend (teammate). Her and I seen able to fortify *to* my teammate's territories, but I am unable to fortify to my own territories even though there is a straight chain including my own amries, and my teammate's armies.

Why am I unable to "piggy-back" (so to speak) on my teammate's chain armies and fortify my men on either end of the 'chain'?

Eg
6 2 1 1 3
If my team mate is RED and I am BLUE, I am able to fortify 5 men from the first to the adjacent territory, but not able to fortify 5 men from the first to the last territory.

red and blue are not teamates in a doubles game

red/green
blue/yellow

are the teams. post the game number for players to review.

red and blue were examples only. Don't worry about whatever colour it is. I am blue and my team mate is yellow. The example is the same, except switch red <-> yellow.

chains only work on your territories not your teammates territories. you can only fort to a team mate that is adjacent.

That's not right!! Why can I fortify to my teammate's armies, but not *through* or *along* my teammate's armies (when playing CHAINED or UNLIMITED fortifications)?

Example:
My teammate (yellow) has 6 men in India. I (blue) have 8 men on China, Siam, and all of Australia. Yellow is able to fortify only to her own chained territories, plus China (blue) or Siam (blue) -- nothing in Australia. This seems correct.

If she were to fortify from India 5 men to Siam, they then become blue men (13 men), allowing me,next turn, to fortify with them to ANY of my chained territories. This seems redundant.

Why can't yellow just fortify to anything blue and chained?

i know this isnt the answer you want...but the reason u cant fort through your partner is because you just cant. like it or not thats just how it is.
