@Robert, Basile_01 I agree with @Maxiheimer … It was a really shitty round for the british, but it is not end-gaming… Germany is pretty weak in Europe and even though Japan is looking good, we all know that US still have the power to cripple either side if they wish to…
And if the british are in any way interested in keeping the communists alive they can do so for sure :D it’s up to you.
I could be wrong - I’m not the most experienced dude out there. Anyway, maybe you’d like to do a rematch reversed?

[Robert]

Indeed, my latest british rolls were pretty frustrating.
We can keep the game going if everyone want to. Maybe the Axis will get diced later on, who knows!

[Maxiheimer]

I think will should continue the game:)

Just to recap on your attack… You came in with a 63% chance on taking w. germany, and that includes your 2 planes which can’t take the terretory… I know that you diden’t hit much, but with so poor odds the battle can easily go both ways…

@Maxiheimer The calculators we used gave us a 93% victory with both planes, 83% if one was shot down. We will try to use another calculator in the future!

Not destroying your WGer planes pretty much destroys the allied fleet…

Anyway, let’s see where the game will go from there.

[Makalakalane]

@Basile_01 are you guys not using the in-game battle calculator? And is there a chance you guys missed something when counting units? :p I didn’t go into details about the battle. But yea, we could very well get diced.

[Basile_01]

@Makalakalane We used two actually.

To be honest, we would have attacked even with 63% victory.

Anzac and French shoudl follow quickly

@Makalakalane : Since our first TripleA game, we’ve been using this calculator https://www.aatoolkit.com/conflict

Our background in stats/probability is rather limited (i took 1 class in University, not sure about @Basile_01 if his field demands knowledge in them) so we rely on external tools. Like @Basile_01 said, even with only 63% odds, I think we would have attempted it if we thought it was the best move (risks/rewards) considering other options. Us seeing 93% victory definitely made the attack a no-brainer.

It may sound like an excuse, but that’s really how we planned our turn. If the odds would have been unfavourable, maybe we would have done things differently.

Anyway, luck and back luck are part of the game!

We considered a safer normandy dropping but when the calculator gave us those odds for Western Germany, we thought it was our best possible move to damage Germany!

[Maxiheimer]

I fully agree! i would have done the same!
But if the result of the battles could allways be calculated and relied upon, the game would be boring. Having to take chances and changing tactics accordingly makes it fun

I made a mistake and forgot to take kazakhstan in my combat move. I took the liberty of editing it.
The tank i edited to kazakhstan had of course not moved during combat move.
I hope everybody is ok with that?
