Well, so did I, when I was making combat moves…

I guess I was thinking the fighters could make it back to UK - or I was thinking I was going to lose most everything anyway…

u dodged a bullet in Alex at least… 40% chance you lose every single unit…

@Jeff28:

You cant expect to win 2 50-50s, I figured a couple air live and I get the middle east and egypt

I wasn’t - I was hoping to at least reduce you to 3 fighters in Alex (median result) and achieve a wipeout in Z91 (it was like 60-30-10)

:-)  :-)

But 40% chance of taking out 6 German air in Alexandria - that’s a chance I had to take - might have been decisive - but anyway, dice were what they were - no extreme results, so we gotta be happy about that

Should be able to slip in the quick ANZ/Fra move here soon!

@Jeff28:

What kind of calcs are you using, is there a better program than the in-game version?

I would love one that could show me the average result for one round of combat for strafes and air battles.

–Jeff

Way better.  I hesitate to give my effective tools to my enemies, though.

The one I use is designed for AA50, however, so I have to make adjustments and estimates for things like 2-hit carriers and tactical bombers.

I also developed a spreadsheet (suprise, surprise) that helps me with the bigger battles.

Triple A calc only giving you expected overall chance of winning and remaining units is terribly inadequate for serious play  :-)

Well, you’re cruising with Italy… I’m sure I have my hands full, here.

Jeez, I sure lucked out in 98….  Figured they would both whiff.  Those cruisers also both hit on bombardment - wow - major over-achievement  :-)
