G40 Gauss_Death (Allies +13) vs oysteilo (Axis)

[oysteilo]

@Gauss_Death:

No, if you are conducting an amphibious assault with a cruiser and transport I could target the cruiser but not the transport.

The transport can never be targeted by kamikaze attacks under any circumstances. It’s a strange rule but it is the rule.

Why is amphibious assult mentioned in the first red paragraph then.

[Gauss_Death]

Because warships such as Cruisers and Battleships can be targeted.

let the battle begin……A successfull battle is less then 10 german land units remaing

[Gauss_Death]

I accidentally hit space bar too fast and didnt change to keep one tank (instead kept 1 tacbomber). I am swapping the T.bomber for the tank (same attack value so the rolls didnt change).

It does mean ‘victory’ by your standards btw, I was left with 1 tank and 8 S.Bombers.

@Gauss_Death:

Yeah, that is what I was calculating too about 30 units. but it is so unpredictable on these battles with large number of units. If I hit slightly above average and you slightly below it is suddenly a 19-15 unit swing on round 1. Then it is a completely different battle. I really dont know what the odds are for the current outcome

I meant 10 -15 on the first round

[oysteilo]

i dont know. Do you have any input on this? According to the battle calculator you are a 96% chance to win and on average you should have 33 units left. Now this is where it gets interesting, IF I win I should have 11 units left on average

In my head this means there is a 4% chance I will have from 1 - 22 units left AND there is a 96% chance you will have 1 - 66 units left. You ended up having 9 units left. Maybe this is somewhere in the range of 15%?? This is basically my question, do you have a good feel for this?( because  I certainly dont)
