Also move mounties back to Canada where they feel more at home….  They couldn’t catch any of the beach babes in California anyway…

Check that - I knew what I was doing before the second guessing……
Mounties are gonna try their luck again in Cali
Fighter planes off the coast of Alaska and massive stockpiling of troops in Vladivostok scared them back…
Better to live in California than to get shot in the Yukon

btw, Axis has enjoyed a 29.7% hit rate by defending Allied “2’s” (35/118)
Allies have faced a blistering 39.2% hit rate (62/158)
There are, of course, other ways to measure luck.  (I did not measure offensive statistics)  But this is the statistic I’ve been tracking this game……  for what it’s worth.  :|  My Russians have been having a HELL of a time!  :x

Both sides have enjoyed AA immunity…  So far…

Correction -
Glanced at the results one more time

USSR - 36.4%
UK - 41.5%
USA - 44.8%

@JWW:

the one correct statement here is…. “that there are other ways to measure luck”. If you are attempting to state a fact as to who has been favored by the dice gods, you must measure all meaningful rolls for the analysis to have any validity. Pulling one statistical category out from multiple sets really has little, if any, value.

And your Russian aa took out my G bmb, for what it’s worth….the allies have had AA immunity.

Also, I don’t understand what your last post is trying to represent.

No, I’m not trying to make a case as to who is luckier (although that would be you) with my statistics.  Was just an interesting one I looked at.

But measuring defending 2’s is a quick and dirty way to get a measurement of meaningful dice rolls.  After 11 rounds, you losing one bomber to AA and me losing nothing (I think that’s right) is not a significant disparity in my view, since you mention it.

The last 3 percentages were the percentages of defending 2 hits faced by those 3 powers.

USSR has been hit 36.4% of the time by defending 2’s, etc.
Look at it however you want, I don’t care, but consider this:
At 35/118, I missed you 4 more times than average
At 62/158, you hit me 9 more times than average
All of these defending 2’s were meaningful hits/misses.

I’m not complaining, because I’m highly confident that I’m going to win this game despite the poor luck.

By your logic, Batting Average has little, if any, value in measuring the success of a baseball player.  Most people disagree with that.  :-)

@JWW:

more importantly I’ll try to get italy done this afternoon.

Awesome, I see you’re done already - thanks.  I have a night off so should be able to do USA tonight.

Hope you are well GMan

Pretty well, thanks!!  Kinda frazzled from all the Jr. High kids, but I’ll make it!
