L16 1/2 Final Play-off Me1945 (Axis) vs. Gamerman01 (Allies+30)

[gamerman01]

What’s really crazy is that this is eerily similar to game 1 between us, but sides are reversed.  I attacked hit and run with the Germans around Ukraine, it went poorly, and Me made me pay for it.  Big time.

[gamerman01]

Punished like you were…… yeeeowch

@Gamerman01:

@Omega1759:

!

What were the odds in Bryansk for both of these battles? You guys are slugging it out.

Me had about 50% but would have had 65% if he had brought the 4th bomber

After the AAA missed and his first attack, his odds were up from 50 to about 75

My odds on the counterattack are about 27% but I have a lot of infantry and he only had 1

Thanks for saving me all the calculations. Both battles seemed pretty even at a quick glance, but sometimes it doesn’t take much to swing it one way or another.

I remember that, it was followed by opening of Turkey and a landing in the Black Sea…

Omega, you are the next in the query. Will post over the weekend.

[gamerman01]

Well that was bad but next round should be 8.5 to 10 and I have cheaper casualties, so there will be a lot more bloodshed

But it appears you are dodging a silver bullet here

[gamerman01]

I only got 8.  Casualty choice please
