  • @zarhunter said in L24 BM FlyingBadger (Axis) vs Zarhunter (Allies+15) #5:

    need new dice

    If I may be so bold, I have some observations about your attacks. Please ignore these comments if you do not find them helpful.

    You can sometimes be a little lighter in your attacks than I would be, also you sometimes lack cheaper cannon fodder in the attacking units to absorb hits. These can result in attacks being more vulnerable to poor dice early in the battle and therefore more costly.

    There’s always a balance of risk verses reward, and high risk / high reward attacks of opportunity can be worth it, but generally in A&A it is better to go for attacks with overwhelming odds in your favour, even if it means making fewer attacks.

    If you can preserve more of the attacking units, they are better able to resist any counter attack and will have better odds in subsequent battles. Also, it can take time to get replacement units to the front line, especially on offense.

    I’m an average A&A player, if that, but maybe you will find something of use in these words.

  • @FlyingBadger

    I try to get max effort for the smallest price and then play the odds. That is what happens41210_round5_franzac.tsvg when you walk that fine line. Thank you for the observations, I welcome them as I try to improve




  • @zarhunter This post has some useful guidance, it is focused on OOB for unit evaluation, but the principles are sound for BM as well as PtV.
