I tried doing the math by hand but I’m very bad with statistics, can someone who is good with statistics proof this strategy? Say you have even odds in a fight your thinking of taking, you win ~50% and you lose ~same IPC overall as opponent. Should you take the fight because attacker can choose to stay or flea vs defense doesn’t? If there are 2 scenarios A) the dice of first round go in your favor or B) the dice go against you and you now have sub 50% and bad IPC then couldn’t you just retreat if B happens and push if A happens? The computer calculating expected losses is doing so under the impression that you stay regardless of outcome so it’s the sum of all negative outcomes + sum of all positives. But if you leave when it goes against you you reduce the sum of negative outcomes partially while I believe reducing the sum of all positive outcomes by less. So you can achieve positive trades from equal fights by having the ability to choose if your going for their full stack or not.

Hello,
What about using the LH Patch setup but instead of moving the German Bomber > Add a bomber in Moscow? I speak here for casual players who only played few sessions using the LH Patch but with the Axis winning each time.
TY in advance - GG

@GGleize oh boy. What what im hearing, let German bomber get destroyed in Ukraine, and additionally give the Russians a 3rd plane?
OK we give them a bomber, which i have always been in favor of.
But remove both German planes from Ukraine, give Germany 1 extra infantry probably in Africa
so USSR +12 ipc
Germany saves 12 IPC bomber, and1 infreason: a third plane really improves Russia for trading, and Germany is too weak in Africa, 1 inf would help.
Also, Japan should have 2 infantry in Borneo, move the destroyer and transport one space away from UK fighter, naval. Remove one of the useless Japanese infantry from the zero IPC islands. Its too easy for allies to take money islands. Otherwise, reduce each 4 point money island to 3, add 1 to Manchukuo, add 1 to Phillipines

Misunderstanding > the German bomber is SAFE in Berlin!

@GGleize ok but adding 12 ipc to allies especially Russia isn’t the same as just moving a German bomber. Germans can use a bomber admittedly, but a Russian bomber is alot more needed than saving the German bomber imo. Minimally, you need to move both German UKR planes away .
