  • Yeah, that was a lot of bad rolling for me. I should have come out of that with about 30 units, not 9.

    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

  • 2023 '22 '21 '20 '19 '18 '17 '16 '15

    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)

    Can you do me a favor? I did forget to move my British dudes in finland to Karelia. Thats the edit. But my bomber needs to land in trans jordan instead of Persia. It came from Egypt With airbase attacking caucasus


  • I concede. I did not expect you to take the Baltic States or Belarus. I cannot defend against the Americans coming in through Novgorod AND the British coming in through Caucasus and Greece.

    It doesn’t matter how many units I produce.

    Japan is in a slow slide against the American fleet.

    Frankly, I should have gone against Russia several turns earlier. Either that or built a fleet of submarines and used those as soakers for the aircraft to push the american fleet off of the shores of Europe.

    Play again?

    I agree that germany has some serious trouble and now USA can produce 9 units in Europe . And yes, there is stuff for Japan to worry about too. It also looks like anzac is able to produce some support for the USA. But Japan is still very strong I think. But conceding is your right and choice! I think this has been a very good and fun game.  I think the biggest problem for the axis is italy did nothing in the last 5, 6? rounds. Maybe Germany should have helped here. Maybe you should have gone for Russia earlier, but still I had a bunch of planes sitting in Norway /middle east ready to support. I also think you should have bombed Russia more or less every round . I think you played really well with Japan.  Maybe you should have invested a little more to make sure I could not hold any of the money islands for more than a round .I have had at least one of the islands for several rounds now. If you have any feedback for me I am happy for that! And YES I would like to play again . Start bidding or suggest something if you have any specific in mind.

  • 2023 '22 '21 '20 '19 '18 '17 '16 '15

    And of course you were unlucky in the Moscow battle. I am still trying to figure out how unlucky you were


  • Horribly unlucky. I should have come out of that with 33 units, not 9. If I had come out of it with 33 units you would not have been able to take Novgorod. I would have had fighters and Tbombers in it.

    I should have had (average): 1 Fighter, 5 Tbombers, 10 Bombers, and 17 Tanks. This assumes your AAA hit 4 fighters at the start (22/6 = 3.66)
    6 Infantry, 2 M.Infantry, 1 Fighter, 5 Tbombers, and 10 Bombers could have easily held Novgorod against 1 M.Infantry, 4 Tanks, 2 S.Bombers and then the 2 M.Infantry+4fighters the british could bring on their turn.

    On Germany’s next turn the 17 Tanks would have grouped up with 12 Infantry, 3 M.Infantry, and 3 AAA in Rostov. That is enough of a force to hold against your British troops while I build a turn or two.

    Japan just needed to hold 6-8 turns while the Germans had a free hand in Europe. That should be doable.

  • That is the situation as I expected it (more or less) after the battle with Russia.

    I totally agree. This is the expected result. I will try to run the battle several times later to see what happens.


  • I am tempted to request a low luck battle. :P

    Alright, I bid 20 for allies.
