@jonny5tyle I take that back- that was horrible luck in France. Y’all should do a do over.

@stough
Not so much horrible luck as poor allocation of resources. Way too much sent to normandy. I’m going to go over battle calculator tonight. -
Everything went ok except for France, but thats ok. I’m having fun!

So I used the edit function to change my purchase. In general, the common etiquette would be to ask permission to do so first, and explain why. If you announce you are going to do it before combat, most guys are fine. After combat - well, the issue is it seems you might be changing it based on combat results - a big no-no.
This is a game for fun, so I didn’t think you’d mind. My purchase was one of my common buys for UK1 in global - forgetting this isn’t global, which really affected my NCM and I realized that the transport wasn’t great at this time in just the E side. -
@mainah no problem at all. Here to learn. Good to know the proper way going forward.
So do you use the battle calculator all the time? I do feel I’d like to be a bit spontaneous.
-
@jonny5tyle
Not all - but probably most - and a lot when I am planning out moves. So when you post your turn, I will download it, save it, and then play with it off line, fine tuning what I want to do. I might even play through both sides out a turn, just to ensure that I am not moving out of position, and towards my end goals. Getting deep there, but that’s what I do - remember, I am pretty new, so I like to try out a few things before I commit.A 2 inf 1 fig attack on a single inf, I wouldn’t double check. But a bigger battle I might - or when I have air power that can reinforce 3 different battles, I will use it to determine which one should get the boost from, say, 1 bomber, and which ones I will let ride with just the ground troops.
-
Your normady battle had 100% odds (it’s probably 99.98, but whatever) while your france battle was at 84%. When you use the battle calculator to double check, you’d have seen this, and you could have adjusted some troops to paris instead of normandy before ending combat movement.
Its also great to double check to see what the odds are against you - like i did for my fleet off Gibraltar - i ran the number for both a full Italian strike and a follow up by ze germans.
-
You use it as much as you wish. Its a tool for you- not a prerequisite step you are required to take
-
@mainah about to make my moves. I tested the battle calculator which was great! How do I let you know I want to scramble 2 fighters to sea zone 97 if need be?
