Well, that went extremely well for you. 110 ended up 4!!! air less surviving than average. If this battle goes to odds the Axis are in severe trouble in Europe. Now Allies need to rebuild their crippled RAF.
Also your DD at 104 hit and so did a sub in 91. Plus flawless Japan.

I can be glad that at least the other battles went well for me but this turn certainly put the dice in favor of the Axis so far.

[MrRoboto]

Well that went better than hoped

[JDOW]

OK aber LOL. Das ist der Moment, wo man eigentlich nur noch das Brett umwerfen kann. Erst runnst du 40 TUV over average bei meiner 110 attack und jetzt machst du eine extrem riskante 54% attack mit deiner gesamten Deutschen Air force und verlierst nur 3 Air.

Das ist ab hier nun wirklich nur noch ein reines Dice game.

[JDOW]

Sinnlos echt. Einfach mal irgendwie ca. 100 TUV in Europe wegen der Dice vom Board genommen bekommen. Spielt sich wie mit einer -100 Bid jetzt das Game  :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x

[JDOW]

Ich glaube, das war die extremste Dice Ownage, die ich bisher in der Saison kassiert habe.

[MrRoboto]

Ich verstehe deine Aufregung ja, aber es ist nicht so richtig sportsmanlike, wie du dich gerade verhältst.

Der Angriff ist riskant, klar - aber nur sehr wenige Würfel entscheiden hier über sehr viel TUV Unterschied. Die Chance, dass ich 1-2 Treffer mehr als Average bekomme und du vielleicht 1-2 weniger als Average in der ersten Runde ist gar nicht so klein. Das passiert bei so wenigen Würfeln doch relativ oft und deswegen habe ich den Angriff auch gewagt. Und so unwahrscheinlich ist das dann eben auch nicht, die erste Runde war sehr gut klar, aber letztendlich habe ich 1,33 Treffer mehr als Durchschnitt und du 2,17 weniger als Durchschnitt gemacht. Das ist alles andere als “krasse dice”.

[MrRoboto]

Die Chance, den französischen Fighter aus dem Spiel zu nehmen und eben durch die Transports das Momentum zu zerstören rechtfertigt den Angriff auf alle Fälle und nach einer schlechten ersten Runde kann man sich als Angreifer ja auch zurückziehen.

[JDOW]

Ja, sorry fuer den Rant, ist eine schlechte Eigenschaft von mir. Du kannst ja nichts fuer die dice.

Aber wenn man sich die survival Verteilung mal anschaut: http://www.dskelly.com/misc/aa/graph.php?cmd=piechart&rules=1940&battleType=sea&attFighter=2&attTacticalBomber=4&attBomber=2&defFighter=5&defCruiser=1&defAircraftCarrier=1

Du hast eine 6,8% Chance, die Battle mit 5 oder mehr air zu gewinnen.
Kombiniere das jetzt noch damit, dass du in 110 4 air over average gekillt hast. Das war bottom 12.9%, wie man hier sehen kann: http://www.dskelly.com/misc/aa/graph.php?cmd=piechart&rules=1940&battleType=sea&attFighter=6&attBomber=1&attDestroyer=1&attCruiser=2&attAircraftCarrier=1&defFighter=2&defSubmarine=1&defDestroyer=1&defCruiser=1&defAircraftCarrier=1&defBattleship=1

Also haben wir 2 battles in Kombination, die den worst 0,9% fuer mich entsprechen.

Ich denke schon, dass man das als “krasse Dice” bezeichnen kann ;)

Mein Rant war dennoch voellig ubertrieben, sorry nochmal.

[JDOW]

Ich hab da mit Axis einen anderen Approach. Die battle geht schief (selbst wenn du dich nach Round 1 zurueck ziehst und das Game ist gelaufen in Europe. Germans koennen keinen Crippled Air Force out of position von Russia UND Allies mit Transports und co in position ueberleben.

Daher ist das fuer mein Spielverstaendnis kein “hit and run, den mal mal versuchen kann” sondern ein All-in, der sogar zum sicheren Niedergang fuehrt, wenn er knapp mit 1 oder 2 Bombern gewonnen wird. Das waere dann ein Pyhrrus-Sieg, weil Deutschland an der Ostfront nicht mit 2 Air fortschreiten kann und die kommenden Landungen der Allies nicht gleichzeitig verteidigen kann.
