Bug report: chose path for tanks going into battle

Very well explained, but I see that if there are criticisms, it is because we are in the year 2025, before X books of different subjects were written and in the end the essence was found in 40 pages, today those 40 pages are written, apparently the ternological development in general that should give us more time to know things in themselves and in relation to their context, has not been like that, we must work more and we have less time every day, learning things as absolute lines when they are not could be a real problem and it would always be good to look for the why or causes of what is presented to us, thanks for the clarifications, but I have played more Classic both on the board and in Programs and I am preparing in this version of 1942 2e online, I will return several times for this work because it is really very deep, thank you.

If we assume a average capture of WR with 6 infantry surviving there and Germany stacks Karelia this battle is 61% to capture Karelia for Russia with the 2 tank build, assumes 2 infantry move from Okrug to Archangel as well, pretty normal. https://aa1942calc.com/#/E0q7VObBHRhUzhT3InP0sA

Note that this battle is not really a option without the tank build. That would only be 18% to capture instead of 61%. So 2 tanks better right?

The average results of this battle will only leave 2 to 4 ground units in Karelia if it succeeds at all, a third of the time it won’t. And it’s easy for Germany to then take it back and wipe out the Russian tanks again which will basically leave Russia with its round 2 build to work with after this.

Meanwhile if Russia builds the artillery instead and does not attack Karelia but puts everything into defending WR, maybe a light trade of Belarus or Ukraine round 2 it will face more German tanks on this attack round 2 but it has enough numbers to hold if UK and/or US help defend WR sending fighters there.

You can fool around with these numbers but I do think you have more options with the artillery build in the case of below average results of the round one attacks than with the tank build, but you also are giving up the option to attack Karelia before Germany can go.

So it’s really up to you. Do you want to trade aggressively with Germany? If so I think you need to be doing KGF. Or do you want to play more defensively with Russia? Which does give Allies more options I think.

@colonelfrost said in Why can't my tanks move into Ukraine?:

Ah, I think I figured it out. A complex is considered an enemy unit so you can’t blitz through it.

You did figure it out. Well done.

@juliusborisovbeamdog Thanks :-)

@juliusborisovbeamdog thanks for the reply, I will certainly send this information to you.

@chaosido Did you want to move them during the combat movement phase in order to avoid having to stay and fight? If yes, mark the sz as friendly, and move them during the non-combat phase. Cheers.

Change combat phase so first battle doesn’t auto-start Add “go back” from before any dice are rolled in combat phase to purchase phase Add “go back” from end turn (after mobilization) to beginning of noncombat.

This is on our eventual to-do list, just not a priority at the moment.
