1 Fighter lost to AA Gun fire
Round 1:
Attacker: 7@1 4@2 14@3 7@4 = 7 + 8 + 42 + 28 = 59 = 11 Hits + 1@4
Rolls: 1@4; Total Hits: 01@4: (5)
Defender: 21@2 + 2@3 + 6@4 = 42 + 6 + 24 = 72 = 12 hits
I should have 100% odds here….we’ll see!

so you are telling me that I did what was needed to stop germany and you took london because I missed @5 aa fire?
so yes, actually I’m pretty proud of my moves to removes 5 of your units for 2 of mines.
You did attack with 80% chances of losing, that’s pretty funny. But knowing how lucky you are, I guess you didn’t care?
AA Fires is flawed in Low luck as well. You can’t possibly get to decide what you lose. I wonder how others do with their AA fires because when I think about it it should remains 11 rolls @1 since each fire fires up at a specific planes and thats why you can’t get to chose which you lost so maybe you lost your bomber. too late for this game but I guess I did the same in the other game and that really needs to be adressed.
Yes, but if you do it by plane then the attacker could lose 3 planes when in LL there could never be more than 2 planes lost out of 11.
Doesn’t matter, could lose 11 in normal luck as well lol. Low luck lower overall luck in the game but if it breaks a certain law we must go arround. Maybe it should be different rolls for each type of planes then?
Assuming I lost 2 planes (as I did, since you had 1 shot at 5 or less) and my calculator is a bit screwy, so let’s pretend my shore bombardments only hit one defender (since my luck seems to trend that way). I chose 1 fighter, 1 tactical bomber as the planes lost. Given my druthers, I would just lose two fighters since the TBs can be paired with tanks.
Now, it cannot really handle tactical bombers well, but here’s what I have:
3.5 rounds of combat on average.
Most likely outcome: 1 Armor, 4 Aircraft remaining.
Odds of success: 100%
To counter the fact it cannot handle tactical bombers (having to be paired iwth a fighter or armor, you know.) Let’s run it again with -1 bomber and see what happens:
4.4 rounds of combat on average.
Most likely outcome: 1 armor, 1 strategic bomber
Odds of success: 68.3%
What I take that to mean is that virtually everytime this battle is run, Germany wins with at least 1 ground unit left to take the capitol.
Straight up odds, from a different, less trust-worthy calculator (but it can do TBs correctly) I get (ADS): 84.4% odds, but that calculator is going to assume the Strategic Bomber is the last unit lost.
All in all, despite your being able to time it perfectly to kill 5 units and then land and retreat into London again, the battle for England seems to always be a losing proposition for England. I don’t know why, but despite ones best hopes and dreams and plans, Germany always seems to get it if they go for early in the game.
Can the allies win ever without London…?
Yes. I’ve lost a few games even with London in my hands. One major effect can be an American fleet convoy raiding England, that removes 8 IPC from Germany a round right there. Also, America can shuttle troops through Ireland into England, eventually liberating it.
