I think too dice was normal. But better luck in sz110 and no luck against Yugo or France. In my other game was in G1 attack to sz110 with 8 planes 1 hit and 1 hit with sub.

Yunnan a real nail-biter, got my pulse up, but I got what I came for :cold_sweat:

Scramble to Zone 97?

[elche]

No thanks.

[gamerman01]

I can roll and finish soon, I think
Thanks for the quick answer

[elche]

I will write in the other chat.

[gamerman01]

Unbelievable blank. A scramble would have crushed me

[gamerman01]

Sorry, forgot to move 2 units from Alex to Egypt -
Caught it in the self-review

Thanks
UK1 edit.tsvg

[gamerman01]

What?? Didn’t move the planned DD at South Africa, caught it now. I must be shaken up from Z97

UK1 edit 2.tsvg

[gamerman01]

Oh, and the edit of the fighter in the Mediterranean was necessary because Triple A must have removed my fighter with 2 movement left instead of the one from Gibraltar that had none.

[elche]

Yes, sz97 was hard again, now for me.

You captured Normandy with a tank, and wiped out my cruiser in 96 without a shot back? Sick!

[gamerman01]

Oh, but a 0/4 and 3/3 in 97, that is crazy. What a wacky turn. Are the Germans afraid to air-strike 97 now I wonder? :hushed:

[gamerman01]

And that’s Vichy? On a 14% chance?

OK I totally forgot about Vichy once again and got absolutely ambushed in an extremely dramatic way, but why in the WORLD didn’t you take at least 2 air at Normandy?

Great luck in 97 certainly helps a lot, BUT
I’ll hold my tongue now.

[gamerman01]

I should have learned from the last time, I think it was a close call, but I didn’t.

[gamerman01]

With that result in 97 I’ll just have to pretend you sent those 2 air at Normandy. That works for me.

[gamerman01]

Here’s French 1, what’s left of them.

F1.tsvg

[gamerman01]

Change of subject -
I think I found that the Triple A battle calculator is not doing AAA guns correctly.

For example, you have
3 INF, 1 ARM, 9 FTR vs
2 INF, 9 FTR

Triple A says 47/50

Exhange the 2 infantry for 2 AA
Triple A says 56/41

That can’t be right. The defender should have a better chance with 2 AA than 2 infantry because in the first round of battle, the 2 defending units are 99.9% chance to be destroyed.
But 2 AAA has 6 points of defense power while 2 infantry only has 4. Furthermore, the AAA of course is taking down planes and those planes never even get to roll, while any defending infantry hits would be destroying attacking infantry only after the attacking infantry roll. Yes, that’s way off. I’ll do more testing.
