StuckTojo (Axis) vs. Ktylu1 (Allies +25)

@ktylu:

how did you take out that navy? damn… i ran it in battle calc with all german planes it told me attacker wins 14%. That only reason i left it there… my dice must of been awful

I honestly don’t pay too much attention to the calculator. I ran it, too, and it told me the attacker wins 90% of the time.  :?

Using my back-of-envelope calculator in my head I figured:

1st round:
3 fighters, 2 tact. and 2 bmbr for me should conservatively get 3 hits, maybe 4

1 destroyer, 1 carrier, 1 cruiser, and 1 battleship for you should get 2 hits, maybe 3

and so on…

I’ve been misled by the calculator too many time; I’ve seen guys on here go completely ballistic, too.

Oh yeah, I know you’re not going ballistic. I was just sayin’ I’ve seen some guys go absolutely nuts  :lol:

im not going ballistic, im laughing at the game. I only moved cause the calculator said 14% to loose from 6 german planes… just surprising is all… hehe
