You are 3/5 with Japanese INF hits on my US bombers.  Plus I had two misses!  Unbelievable.  I guess I should of kept the bombers to threaten Japan or Manchuria.

[JDOW]

Frankly, I guess my recently good dice are rather a combination of runnning slightly above average with the bombers bit hitting everything else in the last turn.

The chance a bomber dies in a 1-1 vs Inf is 43%. So you had an expected value of losing 2.15 bombers during your 5 bombing raids plus 0.16 during the SBR of FIC.

So in average you should have lost 2.5 bombers during these raids and you are “just” 0.5 bombers below average. 1.7 misses were to be expected.
in all the other battles I ran 2/14 this turn, 3/14 total and a missed AA shot.

[JDOW]

2.3 and 0.7 below average. sorry

[JDOW]

Altogether I think going for bombing raids was the right decision, to me the only questions was whether to go for the risky 1-1 or send rather 2 bombers on a single inf.

And don’t get me wrong btw. I am dice whiner no. 1. I just wanted to win the argument the dice weren’t so far off.

However, there is a better way to “complain” about them. Your first air strikes on the Chinese went well. Given these dice, from there I killed 3/3. That is the way I would consider the dice if I were Allies :)

@JDOW:

And don’t get me wrong btw. I am dice whiner no. 1. I just wanted to win the argument the dice weren’t so far off.

However, there is a better way to “complain” about them. Your first air strikes on the Chinese went well. Given these dice, from there I killed 3/3. That is the way I would consider the dice if I were Allies :)

The dice will favor me in these 50/50 battles at some point.  (may not be in this game though) :wink:  I guess what is most upsetting is the shock of losing so many bombers in a limited amount of attack runs.  I know the risk but I guess I would think it would average out after a certain amount of attack runs not bunch up after 2 attack runs.  Oh well its just dice.  The bombers did do their job to a point.  No more dice lamenting!  Game on!  I gotta try and dig out of this hole you are burying me in.
