Chinese roll dice for 4 infantry in Yunnan, round 2 : 4/4 hits, 1.33 expected hits

Was curious so I calculated the odds of that happening… interestingly it’s 1.23456789%.

I hear you. Having said that, though, this is the third time an opponent has tried the “come in to Yunnan weak strategy” against me, and it’s the third time it’s blown up in his face.  I know that’s a small sample size, but it’s discouraged me from ever trying it.  :-P

No worries. It’s your 4th of July long weekend isn’t it?  (I’m assuming you’re an American, not sure why)  How does that work when the 4th falls on a Wednesday? Do you get three days off?

Have a great holiday, stay safe, and I hope you have great weather.

We can continue with the global carnage when you’re back.  :-)

Actually I’m a Canuck… we had Canada day on Monday.  Not sure what they do if it falls in the middle of the week, but I think they just get the 4th off.  (but many take extra time)

One question I had about my play… Since I only got one hit in 96 am I allowed to retreat without killing the transport?  (the software auto kills it)  If so I’d retreat that to 95 and leave the transport alive.

I’m a hoser from Canada, too (“hoser” hearkens back to the 80s, not sure how old you are).

That’s a good question. I’ve honestly never asked that before. I can’t think of any reason why you wouldn’t want to kill the transport, but I also can’t think of any reason why you should be forced to kill it, either. Long story short, I have no idea what the rules would say.

Obviously, I’m OK with it if you want to let me keep it (crosses fingers  :-D)

No scramble. No guts.
