Well strange dice.  After the first round I was sure I was screwed in India and thought I should wrap up WRu nicely.  All in all I will take the final results and be happy, well that and shower off the sweat!

Varn H(Allies) Vs Crunch(Axis) G4.AAM

[MrMalachiCrunch]

I was rushing to get my turn in and forgot to move the 1 Infantry I had in Trans-Jordan to Egypt. I hope you don’t mind another amendment, thanks in advance!

Varn H(Allies) Vs Crunch(Axis) G4.AAM

[Varn H]

I have a correction of my own: there are 3 Russian tanks in Caucasus, not 2. My game post has it right, but the AABattlemap file is missing it. I’ll fix it this turn.

Varn H(Allies) Vs Crunch(Axis) UK4.AAM

[Varn H]

Thanks for the AACalc suggestion. I used it heavily in trying to devise a way to save my Atlantic fleet. I didn’t think one submarine would make that much of a difference, but I was wrong.

Japan’s Turn!

[MrMalachiCrunch]

Use multiple tabs with AACalc and label each ‘scenario’.  Deep games with Germany require me to keep a dozen active ‘scenarios’ going in particular with a mixed British US fleet sitting in Sz5.  They can do a 1-2 amphibious attack on WEu, Ger and EEu from there.  EEu can be hit with US tanks in Nwy once Britain kicks the door in at Kar……

One thing to also do is run a scenario for just 1 round.  Just because on average you are good on defense…if you have a bad round 1 the attack keeps pressing so its often wise to run the scenario 1 round, see what you look like after a bad round on defense say, lower 20-21% range, then run 1000 runs from there and look at the averages.
