Redrum's and lafayette's battle thread

Ouch. I’m surprised you attacked southern russia. It was a 50/50 with projected -20 TUV swing unless I’m missing something. Also if you lose that battle then Germany should be able to take Moscow which would pretty much be game over? Just curious on if I misplayed that or if you decided to take the gamble.

About the battle in southern russia - I calced 51%, but if you assume the AA misses on all 4 shots then it is 60% and TUV swing is also then positive for the attacker. Given the allies are backed into a corner with the axis rush, I probably would have attacked with even lower odds, 40% even.

You’re right disaster in this battle would have been the end for Russia, but Russian odds on the German stack were only going to get worse on every following round. Meanwhile German income would have been unstoppable and would have easily had enough to defend the Western front and still hold southern russia. Germany stacked next to moscow tends to kill russia pretty fast as rule of thumb, so a unit for unit trade was a pretty good deal for russia. The stack next to Moscow pretty much forced Russia to take that gamble, so it was not necessarily a bad move to force that since the odds were pretty good too for it to go in Germanys favor.

[redrum]

Gotcha just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something and I agree that if you didn’t take the gamble then it probably keeps getting worse unless the UK can make something happen. Just tough luck I guess with the way the dice played out as if it would have been a more even battle with only a few Russian or Germany units surviving then its probably a different game with the Germans being able to continue to push. Definitely was surprised to see the 62 TUV swing but it happens. Gonna be tough to come back from a major defeat of that scale but I’ll play on a few more rounds to see what happens.

[LaFayette]

On the plus side Japan captured bombay and italian is doing well. With the directions we chose it’s a bit of a race between Japan or Moscow.  Personally I think you should have counter attacked to kill the russian tanks.

I wanted to counterattack the tanks but didn’t have the odds just too many survived. If one or two less did then I could have and it wouldn’t have been as big of a game changer.

I guess when it rains it pours and with dice no battle is ever 100% (or 98% in this case). Starting to get the feeling I’m not meant to win this one :)

[LaFayette]

You were going to have to gamble on the counter attack, all planes and the AA missing to get a good outcome. The axis successfully rushed in many parts of the map. Part of dice I think is a strategy needs to be more robust than just one push timed for round 5 and 6. But also generally experienced allied players can always stop a round 6 rush on this map. The bad chinese dice gave good opportunity for japan which you did well with and played italy very well too.

To another extent, the axis have not been defeated, just they are no longer going to automatically win. Japan getting bombay was pretty big, means US won’t necessarily automatically kill Japan now. Italy and Germany being strong counters a low income UK. Axis do have a problem that Russia and Germany are about even (production), and Russian army is larger now.

I was surprised how effectively you’ve used the ukraine factory. Usually it is a factory that is too close to the front lines and becomes more a liability than an asset. For example, Germany generally prefers to stack Belo rather than Ukraine. With a factory in ukraine germany needs to prevent russia from capturing it, which means it can’t stack everything in belo, and thus can’t stack belo.

Wow. Again I’m a little surprised you attacked Kansu with ~44% win chance and -9 TUV swing but ended up with 19 TUV swing! Same reason as the Russian attack? You figure it just gets worse if you wait? I think I’m maybe not used to playing dice or against such an aggressive opponent. I tend to play more conservatively and avoid gambles unless I have no choice. Hopefully round 6 is time for revenge!

Can you please re-post your turn or email me the save game. There were some forum issues that caused all file uploads to not work properly the past few days. It appears to be resolved now but you’ll need to re-upload the save game.

[LaFayette]

I don’t have one. We’ll need to edit the turn to recreate.

[redrum]

Ok. If you can replay the turn and edit the results back in. Then I’ll download and verify it.
