FMErwinRommel (X) vs Wizmark (L) BM3 game 3
-
Losing the sea battle off Australia not only cost me 30 TUV, but may be a game changer in the Pacific. Very costly for a small battle. I attacked the 3 ANZ ships because they can go where the U.S. can’t reach and take Java, and help the U.S. offensively or just defensively. It took considerable planning to re-position my land and sea forces to face the U.S. advance, while not abandoning the advance on India or on Russia.

I play tested the sub battle and my subs hit twice and yours missed. In the real game, I hit 1 sub, as expected, but you went 2 for 3, double what expected. So I lost a sub and DD instead of just the DD.

@FMErwinRommel Japan will struggle to regain the DEI now…with an enormous Allied airforce in the region the entire japanese combined navy would be at risk of being sunk.

The odds of the extremely lopsided results of the Japanese attack on ANZAC were less than 1/1000. The odds of 2 subs, a DD and a fighter all hitting on the first round were 0.62% (1/6 x 1/6 x 1/3 x 2/3). The odds of all my units missing were 14.84% (2/3 x 2/3 x 2/3 x 1/2). The odds of one having the best possible and the other the worst possible outcomes is .0062 x .1484 = 0.00092. If you had rolled in reverse order: 4,2,1,1; you would have given 2 hits. My goal was to sink your ships. My subs could only hit your ships, and your fighter was the only high defense unit, so I should have achieved my goal. I had a positive, but not overwhelming chance of winning. I would have achieved my goal is I had lost all my units and you had your fighter left. This extreme result was for a battle with significant consequences on the front line. On your very next turn, in a meaningless, remote battle, the dice favored me: you rolled 2 foe 7, and neutral Argentina rolled 2 for 4. The 4 neutral infantry lasted 3 rounds, killing 3 attackers.

Japan would have been in much better shape if the ANZ fleet had been sunk. There would have only been one isle to recapture. Building the Arabian naval base. which allowed UK to take Sum, was a surprise. But don’t underestimate the power of the Japanese.
