again you are rewarded hugely for your aggressive play, Japan beeing at -11 or so total for the whole round. It is insane. I was not supposed to loose a single plane!

We are playing dice sometimes those things add up. You attack inf with planes the inf will hit sometimes.

Definately, the game is just lame if you play LL. If you can’t handle the dice don’t play! However, sometimes you just have to comment on the dice and this is one of those situations. I just had to do a simple calculation, it is not 100% correct. It assumes I get 3 hits in Hunnan on first round of combat, On average I will get 3,8. Well of course it is not unlikely that I only get 2, but my calculation becomes very complicated without this assumption.

Now with this in mind the probability of you getting 5 hits with your 4 inf in Hunnan and Kwangsi combined is 5/17496 or about 1:3500……Due to my simplification above this number is somewhat overestimated.

[oysteilo]

yep, you are absolutely right about which battles you remember……so no worries!

[oysteilo]

this time shane state was 1 art, 2 inf, 3 fighters and 3 tacs against 4 inf. I still loose a plane after one hit first round vs yours 3 hits. Hahahah

[oysteilo]

@ShadowHAwk:

Orders for SZ6?

Yes, scramble and 3 tokens on each destroyer

[oysteilo]

@ShadowHAwk:

Well i only had like a 30% chance but i figured even if i would lose i would only lose a little and flush out your kamikazes.

And well 30% to take down japan for a long time isnt bad in my book.

Yeah, you have to go for it, it is a big pay-off for a fairly small investment. Battle calculater says defender wins 82% of the time after the one hit with the kamikaze. I was willing to put the game on play for that odds, as it is fairly likely to get at least one hit with 6 kamikazes. It is not like the war is going great anyway so so!

Well, to summarize from my point of view, in game 1 I am completely unprepared for your style of play and I make a few blunders as I fail to protect my japanese transports

In game two it also gets very hard for me and once again I fail to protect my japanese transport of borneo. This is just silly, but besides that I am unsure about any critical mistakes.

But at the end of the day you are in normandy, holland, norway and italy has nothing at end of round 4. I am impressed!

What do you think I do wrong?

[oysteilo]

all right thanks a lot for playing! and I will keep my mouth shut from now…. hahah! you showed me! It’s fun to play you!
