Gargantua

My point is, Karl presented it like it was a 35% attack and the Italians attacked anyway and wiped him out.

His opponent had to point out that it was actually designed as a hit and run that had follow up attacks planned if conditions were right, and this very relevant detail was omitted :lol:

Boldfresh isn’t around here any more, but if he was he could tell you horror stories about Italian hit and runs on multiple occasions that ended up being conquests, just like this one. :-D

To rub salt in Karl’s wound, I find you can have those battles that appear like a 65/35, but everyone forgets to calculate what I would call the “variable”. Just add or remove one or two infantry from either side of the battle. Is it still something like 70/30? or 60/40? Or is just shaving one or two units suddenly turning it into 50/50; meaning that a one or two dice deviation could see your force doomed.

True, one or two units can swing it, but that also works the other way. If BSD didn’t hit any of his bombards, he would have been screwed and his “hit and run” would have backfired.

I don’t think exposing yourself to a 35% battle is unreasonable with the number of units that were involved, like about 8 each side.

The simple fact is that BSD got super lucky beyond all reasonable expectations. It sucked for me, but that’s the breaks.

On another note, Gamerman, where is Boldfresh? We need to get him back. He was a soldier.

He recently left his Dad’s business and is starting a partnership with some guys - general contracting. Has 3 little kids now too. Probably best he stays away from his favorite addictive game

What is the meaning of the A&A life?

To crush the Axis enemy!

To see their Panzers driven before you!

To hear the lamentations of their women!
