i resign. good learning experience. what were the battle odds on moscow? looked ridiculous. Learned a lot about sub warfare. took the IJN down like I intended. should have bought aa guns, but couldn’t get it through my head that industrial complexes weren’t shooting at them. Gave me a lot of material for my book. I will be mocking the effect of the bombers. Factories are actually a hinderance without an aa gun.
Don’t like Russia Restricted. I’d rather go with a bid.
@crockett36 the battle odds on Moscow were 99.5% or better in favor of the Germans. Did you have time for a discord chat tomorrow? I’m home by 8PM Eastern time.
@the_good_captain no I mean the dice roll averages. I should have got a lot more hits. My son s in town. He is leaving on Friday , late I think. I’ll let you know bb
overall the Russians shot -5 which is not great but not terrible given the quantity of dice that were rolled. The battle broke down like this:
there was a 69% chance that both German planes survive AA fire, which they did.
Round1:
German scores 19 hits (19 expected)
Russia scores 15 hits (16 expected)
Round 2:
Germany scores 20 hits (17 expected)
Russia scores 7 hits (10 expected)
Round 3
Germany scores 18 hits (16 expected)
Russia scores 2 hits (3 expected)
So the outcome should have seen something like 5-8 more German infantry removed than actually were.
Thanks. I’m definitely looking forward to playing again. Still more juice to squeeze out of this orange.
Hoping to review this on Monday! Vacation week.
@crockett36 The video is up. I am up for another game. House rules? Optional rules? plain jane? How did the cnoference go?
