Hmm, ok.

[majikforce]

If kamikazes sink a US battleship carrying a marine that has unloaded for an amphibious assault does the marine still fight in the land battle assuming the US clears the sz?

[Adam514]

No it doesn’t fight, the ship needs to survive the battle to unload troops.

Thanks Adam!

Hi guys, I’m curious to know what people think the fair or average bid is/should be for BM3.  My opinion is 3-5 bid for Axis, but I’ve seen people playing straight up frequently and I’ve seen bids as high as 12.  So what is your opinion on a the bid for BM3?

[gamerman01]

BSD,

For the 2017 league, the Allies went 155-138, a .529 winning pct.
I think most of the time there was no bid, and I don’t remember any games where the Allies had a bid.  So there were some with small Axis bids, and yet the Allies still had a .529 winning pct.

That’s just the overall total for the league in 2017, nearly 300 games.  You could analyze it differently, like looking at when the best players play each other and look at those stats, but

I think it’s safe to say the Allies have a bit of an advantage in BM3 and the Axis deserve a small bid to make it closer to 50/50, yes.  I think that’s a bit of a consensus around here as well.

Awesome, thanks for the information!

Hey gamerman, it looks like u might have an Allied loss missing in your stats. The Allied losses are one less than the Axis wins, which should be equal.

[gamerman01]

Yeah, couldn’t find it

[Ferrousgryphon]

I had a glitch in my recent game. I was playing the Axis and made a strategic bombing run on Moscow. I was never given a choice on what I was bombing and all the damage went against the airbase. I did multiple runs offline to see if I was making a mistake but never saw it.

Were there fighters that could intercept?

[Ferrousgryphon]

no fighters

[regularkid]

can you post a saved game file?

[simon33]

If there’s no fighters, Triple-A prompts at the point of combat movement. If you remove the attack and add it again does it ask you?

Strictly speaking, that is the incorrect point to ask but it is adequate the way that it is.

There is the game file if you want to try it out. I tried multiple times and never got the choice.

[simon33]

Ok, I can duplicate it and not just in your save game. Looks like the selection gets confused by the presence of the tac bomber which can only hit the airbase (not sure why you would make that attack but hey, that’s not relevant).

If you open up a normal game and bomb Normandy with a tac and a bomber in one move, you get the problem. It isn’t map dependant either - it occurs on G40 and BM3.

[simon33]

It’s arguable that this is a bug or not. There is only one valid target for the tac, that is the airbase. If both planes in the attack are hitting the same target, as you expect when it’s done in one move, then the only valid target is the airbase.

I’m inclined to argue that it is not a bug. In the same way, if you had brought in a fighter, you wouldn’t be asked if you want to bomb because the fighter is an invalid attacker for SBR when there are no potential interceptors.

[Adam514]

Oh yeah you need to separate the bombing run if it’s being done by different kinds of bombers if there are no fighters that can intercept.

[Ferrousgryphon]

AH! I see. that was my mistake. Thanks for clearing that up guys.
