13L G40 Infrastructure vs Gamerman01 (+10 Allies) + tech

[Major Major]

ok this one actually.

@Infrastructure:

I did miss your edit, and it seems I messed up with carr.  i will redo japan from your last edit, ok?

No problem, I’ll check it out now

[gamerman01]

Much better, yes

So Triple A did let you attack with 10 planes when you only had landing places for 8?  I’ll have to keep watching for that in the future…

Scramble 3 fighters

If I were you, I’d roll it on the server (do you know how?).  It’s going to fire my 9 subs and force you to choose casualties before you should have to.  Unless that was one of the things fixed with the new version.  But aren’t we still playing with the old version because the game was started under it?  I don’t know.

I expect the battle to be conducted according to the rule book, though.

Thank you for letting me know

It was a 60/40 battle going in according to the new calculator, with your OOL.  As soon as you damage each carrier there’s 2 more planes that can’t land, so you can’t just run a calculator with standard OOL and expect that to be accurate, because it would assume you take 6 carrier hits first, which you did not do.

Your first round roll was .67 hits above average, but mine was 1.5 hits below average.
Your second round roll was 1 hit above average, and mine was 1.5 hits above average.
Your third round roll was .67 hits below average and mine was .33 hits below average

Because first round luck matters more than later rounds, my 1.5 below was not negated by my 1.5 above.

What all this means is that you are actually having a close to average battle, but slightly in YOUR FAVOR

And you are cursing and swearing, and complaining that 10% of G40 game results are due to skill.
I don’t like it when people complain about dice when they’re getting average or better luck, and never say anything at all when the dice are strongly in their favor.  I don’t think many people do.

If I give you the benefit of the doubt, you honestly believe that you are getting below average luck in this battle and just don’t know how to calculate it accurately.
