wrong map

Ok, last post :p

Im a major in financial math. Im prolly are sad person, but gf got to get up early tomorrow so im playing some Agricola while spectating you guys playing. Quit playing AA a year or so back myself, but still enjoy a good game, and i have followed youre game since the start :)

@Gamerman01:

Pin, if you are going to jump into a hot game and start posting, you need to clearly identify yourself.
JWW understandably thought you were me. 
That could cause some serious misunderstandings if you’re not careful.  Thanks.

Duely noted, i will not post anymore. Just tought it was obviouse as it says Pin on the left hand side of the post. And i just wanted to post some hard facts about statistics not commenting game. But just as i wrote that first post that sick outlier happened and i couldnt keep myself. Sorry for that, just ignore my post and go back to the game. A very interesting game you guys have going :)

@Gamerman01:

Calculating the odds of a certain number of AA missing is easy.  Take 5/6 to the Nth power.
5/6 to the 3rd (NWE) = 57.9%
5/6 to the 9th (USA’s) = 19.4%

Excel can do that.

And Pin, believe me, man, I have seen MANY dice results just as strange as Poland, there.  Many.  How about 5 of 6 aircraft shot down by AA on one turn?  How about 13 tanks all missing, and the 3 defending tanks all hitting?  I could go on.

If you regularly see 0.01% battles then i feel sorry for you or you got to be the luckiest man alive. By nature of the odds you have to roll 10 000 battles to see that happen. Ofcourse you will have seen it before, but far from in every game you play.

last post ill make about statistics, sorry but i love statistics :p

1st round 0,72 %
2nd round 0,87 %
total 0,01 %

This is the Poland battle odds for what happened, thats one sick sick outlier. You probably wont see such a skewed fight in most games you roll on this site :p

@JWW:

ukr twol

NWE aa fireRolls: 3@1; Total Hits: 13@1: (1, 6, 3)this must be like 70% there isn’t a one?

0.hit 57,87 %
1.hit 34,72 %
2.hit 6,94 %
3.hit 0,46 %

0.hit 19,38 %
1.hit 34,89 %
2.hit 27,91 %
3.hit 13,02 %
4.hit 3,91 %
5.hit 0,78 %
6.hit 0,10 %
7.hit 0,01 %
8.hit 0,00 %
9.hit 0,00 %
100,00 %

Just tought i should end the discussion. This is for 9 planes running against an AA. The probability is for that exact outcome. So for hitting 3 or less you have to add up 0.hit trough 3.hit etc.

On the map the IC in france should be downgraded to a minor IC when the Germans took it. Cant be upgraded again unless its France territory again.

Just a tip soul, when you do 2d6 the dices is sorted from smallest to largest, so if last AA hit you will allways loose highest dmg dice ;)

Question about kamikaze.

When does it become available?
Thing is, US moves in with entire fleet and transport and land 1 inf on Iwo, all this happens at the same time, and the kamikaze option becomes available. Can the Jap declare an kamikaze attack on those warships that entered the zone along with the transport that first took Iwo, or do you have to wait til the next time an allied ship enteres a kamikaze zone?

My interpretation is that as everything happens simultaniously the Jap would be allowed to declare a kamikaze strike on that fleet, but after hearing both sides in a F2F game im not sure ;)

i just have to go along, Allies have the upper hand / balanced game. I feel its closer to a bid for the axis then the allies, but at the moment i only play no bid games.

i will take you up on all the above mistergreen, but tech on would be fun :) (have 0 experience with aa42 though)

you won one of those due to me not haveing polished my allied skills func ;) The players that have polished theyre allied skills have a clear edge on the best axis players in -41 now.

yup, but search up my other games in the league. The big picture stays the same. If you setup a sinking off jap trannie in z38 with a russian bmber buy T1, and setup of transfer of either russian armors or inf to India on T2 (depening on how the eastern front is after G1, if you can afford move 2inf to Persia, if not just make sure you have 2-3 tanks in Cau so you can move them if needed.)

US 1 move 2fgt + 1bmber to Aus, and the UK dd from z41 > z48 to prevent a hard hit on australia Jap 2. (IF jap have moved the cruiser there on T1 it might prevent an IC if everything else went perfect, not saying there aint a counter to this strat but it works almost everytime). US buys solely for Pacific.

This forces:
a) Jap to go all navy with its builds, meaning not enough ground forces enters mainland Asia, and US and Japan will keep each other at bay in z56 and z62. And the UK can sweep up mainland Asia, and might even be able to regain some grounds on the islands or in Africa without using atlantic fleet for it.

b) Jap ignores the US navy for too long, and its just a matter of time before the US will regain all the islands and kill of the remaining jap forces. (my tourney game this is the case)

Remember that when you LET Japan expand, it wont match US cash til T3, if you go for a contain strategy Japan will never get much higher then the US and it might even never get above the US income.

The key is to recognise the insane amount of IPC and bonuses in the pacific that either lets Japan become an uncontrollable monster or gimp them hard fast.

A kjf is very much possible, but you have to play for it from turn 1. Look on my running tourney game for how to do it. http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=15572.0

Japan is pretty easy to pacify in -41 setup if you play youre pieces as allies right. It took most of us almost a year of playing before being able to see the fine lines, but these days its closer to an allied advantage then axis one. Check out my current tournament game if you would like to see how to contain / kill off Japan in -41. http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=15572.0

As i typed out in the game thread i could have hold onto Cau for a lot longer, but didnt see the option until after i had rolled the first dices so had to adapt :/

This is the best one imo, just up the number of iteration the calc would do to get a more accurate number(highest number will take some time so give it time ;) ). Also have easy options for land/sea/amphibious attacks, all rules/techs implemented and easy swap of units if you wanna calc how youre fleet fares in defence after first trying it in attack.

Egypt is indeed very decisive if you choose to take the shot, myself i have stopped adding it in my G1 moves, and it seems im doing a lot more consistent good after that adjustment. Simply trying to minimize the risk the dices put upon my overall strategy. You can make sure you will take it turn 2 and by that way keep a lot more units in Africa, and make it harder from the allies to remove the axis dominance over africa so early.

i live in Oslo so yeah we can do it on a cruise ship, would be really cool. Not a big fan of Revised and im away hunting 11th of october anyway. But a weekend on a cruise ship with AA50 would be cool, and its not like plane to copenhagen is expensive anymore (like 300NOK if bought in time).
