Combat Hit Differential Summary :
@simon33 Yeah, the game is going to get a lot more interesting soon. I probably should have run from Moscow, but my initial battle estimate was very close to TUV zero slightly negative. I ran it a few more times now and it is all over the map -7 to +27 (for attacker). You should win Moscow, but I guess we’ll find out how much you win.
@simon33 You may feel pressure due to the rest of the board to go now…, but I just don’t go against Moscow with less than 90% odds. It’s a big battle and losing it (or pyrrhic victory) is a loss of game.
@simon33 Ok. Now I’m rethinking the last post. The advice is real, but it looks like gamesmanship–trying to talk you out of an attack, which is not the intent.
So to be transparent, if you don’t attack and build up again with max forces, I will run. If you want to kill the Russians and Brit AF off, now is the time.
I was just trying to say that I really hate to have dice have very large impact on outcome of games. However, as the attacker, you will get to see what happens the first round, and that will probably decide a lot.
Enough said. Game on.

Small rebalance to move the Japanese inf from Kazakhstan to Volgograd.

I’m wondering if you counted everything. I got 86%, +31TUV. Actual battle was +72 of course, so dice went with me.
@simon33 yeah I think i missed a tac.
Sorry I’ve been distracted by work. Finishing up a project this week. I hope to be able to play today or tomorrow.
