you hit with 9 out of 12 of your shots at 3 in the first round though, and the overall outcome is pretty close to what was predicted.

Never achieved 31/19
So, please, the point is you lost only by bad dices right? Can we stop this now?
My point is this, as a wh40k veteran.
In strategy games, you should always account BAD LUCK and have a counterattack ready to a bad luck battle.
in that last game, I had no choice but to attack because I was running out of options and it was unlikely that you were going to give me that kind of opportunity again.
I do believe that this module plays out more like WW II than any other variation yet. Yes, different decisions were made so that different events happened, but it was all plausible.
DO you think it’s balanced?
109 inf 2 mech 31 art 9 tank 1 ftr 3 tacs 2 bmbs vs.
2 aa 74 inf 9 mech 38 art 11 tanks 2 ftrs 1 tac
according to expected values
attacker does 42 hits, defender 48 hits in the first round
any opinion that I express on balance will sound like sour grapes at this point.
I know that you and Jennifer are both itching to try a rush Russia strategy.
It could lead to weird situations like the British and Japanese co-occupying russia with the japs able to ignore the brits, although that’s not actually true, the Brits could actually force the japs to DOW if they want to attack Russians - only sea units can co exist, 1 British infantry would be sufficient to shield the Russians without a Jap DOW against Britain.
expected second round result is 34 hits for both
the Germans were expected to exceed the Russians in hits on the 3rd round 28 vs 24
actually 28 vs. 23
expected 4th round 21 vs. 14 hits, going into the 5th round its
23 arts 9 tanks 1 ftr 3 tacs 2 bmbs vs. 9 tanks 2 ftrs 1 tac
taken with 17 arts 9 tanks was the expected outcome.
