G40L Infrastructure vs Karl7(Allies+9)

[Karl7]

@Infrastructure:

@Karl7:

Taranto went by the numbers.
nothing odd.

Which is exciting since the last like 9 times I’ve done it the results have been insane, like all the brits dead for 1 ftr or something like that.

It sounds like you have similar thoughts on extreme luck and its impact to the game as I do.  This game is time consuming enough that my friend Stalingradski and I have determined something needs to be done.

Stalingradski and I have just come up with a new semi-lowluck method.
If a roll has a variance of 30ipcs from results on the battle calc the country involved can lose the next 10ipcs it would collect to roll the battle with standard lowluck.  We both think this will be what we stick with for every game we play online together, which is a lot…

just a though to see if you’re interested.

Hm, interesting.  I usually allow 1 reroll per game to my opponent. But let me think on it.

looks like I got killed in that air battle.  Was it bad enough to trigger the low luck exception?

[arathorn]

KARL!!!

FIGHT!!!

[Major Major]

The IPC shift should have been 24.22 it was 33.  It wasnt as bad as it seemed.  Round 1, I hit 1 less than i should, you hit 2 less than you should and then second rd you hit 1 more than should.  I’m kinda up a ftr…

[Major Major]

SO the IPC shift was only around 9 not the 30 to trigger the rule.

[Karl7]

ok.
