MOVED: Help us PBF we can't manage !

@Du-Bist-Toten
Hello and welcome. I haven’t been on the forum for as long as others (pretty new) , but maybe I can help.

@LT04:

I love this topic but I have a quick question…

Why doesn’t the math work both ways?  What I mean by that is if you steepen the curve with your attack hits to get the “average” hits instead of the “expected” hits why doesn’t the same rule apply when calculating the enemy defense hits?

That would make your estimate a lot more conservative.

LT

I does do the same with defense hits. It is just that in the scenario he mentioned there was only 1 unit so the odds are simple - 33%. If there were more units in defense you would have to do the same thing. However, generally there are more attacking units than defending units, because the attacker would not do a battle that he would lose. So, this makes the number of hits the defender gets roughly the average since the attacker almost always has => the defender units.

russia is that really big basically empty country above china, and japan is that weird island chain to the east of china. just messing. i was going to send you the cards but wasnt fast enough. drive on!

@BigBlocky:

From Kenya you can S. Bomb S. Europe and land in Cacaus …

Thanks! I guess that makes two of us that need a nap. :P

:D How about you go back to the shop that you bought the game, tell them what happened and ask them to replace it for you :lol: :o If they don’t do that don’t worry about it cause when buying tanks in a game you normally use the red and white chips to stack up tanks!! :D :D

I bought squad leader back in the mid-80s…… I have yet to play it, way to much to read in order to just get going.

Best advice is find some people who can play and sit in on a game or play the russians with allied help/guidance.

Ahhh give him/her a break. It’s only their first time playing. I remember my first game (I was UK) where my first purchase phase consisted of 1 Battleship and saving the rest of the IPCs for… another next turn Battleship!! Then I built an IC in Iran. This was before I learned about the limited IC producing based on territorial IPC value.

Quintopia, I suggest that you build tanks and infantry at a 3 to 1 ratio. Oh, and build a fighter each other turn if you can.

Unlimited IC factory in some places is great, like Brazil for instance. However, I think it’s pushing it by placing an unlim. IC in French West Africa since USA can reach it on their 1st-2nd turn. Maybe relocating it to Egypt would be a better as it gives the Germans the advantage of holding Africa a bit longer but at greater cost. Also placing an extra UK inf in Egypt might deter the Germans from taking until the 2nd turn. It’ll be a repeat of the great battle of El Alamein between Rommel and Montogomery. And this time maybe the Brits won’t outnumber the Germans at least 2 to 1.
