@flyingbadger

I will win saving 1.7 units so I’ll say YES
Now we’ll see if this .7 means no loss of fig :blush: or not :disappointed:
The survived fig/figs come back to AC

The 1.7 surviving units is what you get if you simulate and (stupidly) consider 2 italian inf only, not the third !!!
Dunno why I simulated with 2 inf, usually I click CTRL+B on the battle and then manually add scrambling fig; how could I be able to miss 1 italian inf it’s a mistery…

I hadn’t done the math on that attack so didn’t know what the numbers should have been, just seemed like it would be expensive for you defend. I felt bad for you with that result, losing 2 fighters and the territory. What I will say is that you are really hammering the Germans and Japanese in this and both are struggling to just hold the line, but you are letting the Italians create a large empire, are you (sub)consiously avoiding Italian casualties? :thinking_face: :flag-it:

You were very lucky and I had bad luck
Italians regular : 0.50
British regular : -0.67

but the battle was almost impossible to win and I wrote
“I will win saving 1.7 units so I’ll say YES”
cause I am a stupid and stupid mistakes must be paid, game over.
I know that “you are really hammering the Germans and Japanese in this and both are struggling to just hold the line”
but I cannot accept stupid mistakes from me…
Never scrambled in a battle with 19% to win and especially where I have almost the double ot TUV to loose… Like I said i last turn the capture of FIC was possible but TUV count suggested me to give up, then I scrambled in a “useless waste of TUV” in the same turn :angry:

Just reloaded the post-Japanese save and tried to look at the battle calculator for attacking FIC and the Chinese units aren’t allowed into FIC, guess because it is not an originally Chinese territory but a French one. This leaves only the Brits to attack on there own and the battle calculator says 0% (even without the Japanese carrier scramble). So I wouldn’t worry about that as a missed opportunity. Just sitting on Yunnan is enough of a killer to the Japs, can’t leave them there ungaurded but can’t shift 50+ defending units either, also can keep on grabbing Szechwan for the bonus.

Uah ah ah you are right and I made 2 errors in the same day… maybe a strategy to scare you and forcing you to defend FIC instead of playing in attack ? Ah ah what a stupid that I am…

Yes, in a recent game with an italian friend I declared an unprovioked ar to JAP in Uk2 in order to join uk_pac to chinese army, it is a must…
And in Global (with so many steps due to minor countries) even Russia can help a bit, I have seen russian fig/arm inYUNN many times…

I think an airfield in KWA during Jap1 purchase is an expansive but very good option, so CHI cannot take YUNN back in CHI1 and this is the beginning of the end for allies who planned to join armies in YUNN :blush:

Yeah, I think you are right, Japan doesn’t have the infantry in place to keep hold of Yunnan but an airbase would with the potential to scramble would be tricky for China. I think CDS did this in my first ever game of PtV.
