New odds calc for AAAE

Thanks, d/l’ing now.

I was able to download it…. very nice!

@Adlertag:

only whimps use odds calculators  :wink:

real men gamble  8-)

Well said!

@Dash_Riprock:

That bug should be fixed now.  I also made it so you can now use any number of defending fighters in a naval battle, since as someone pointed out the calc could be used half way into a battle once the carriers are already sunk.

Sweet, thanks.  This is - by far - the best odds calc I’ve used.

Thanks for the fix.

On the quality of the final product – I’m with Uberlagger  :-)

Rip, this a very nice tool.
However, I’ve noticed that it’s not computing heavy bombers using 2 dice per bomber.  If I put in one heavy bomber attacking 2 units, there is a zero percent chance of both units being hit.  Do you guys use the house rule that you take the best of the 2 dice?  The default OOB rule is each heavy can get two hits because they roll 2 dice, and that’s the way most people play.  Any chance the tool can be updated for that?
I know you haven’t posted anything here for 6 months, but thought if I posted on your thread you might see it.
Thanks

Terrific, thanks a lot.
Again, this calculator has helped me tremendously.  Thank you very much.

Hey guys, I was able to unzip the file only to find that it doesn’t contain any .exe file, just a bunch of “classs” files. Did I download the wrong thing? I’d appreciate any help given. Thanks.

It might be easiest if you provide me with your e-mail address and I’ll e-mail the single file to you.

Just private message me with it, or else change your user options to allow showing your e-mail address and let me know.

Thanks! Sent a PM (new to the forums, I certainly THINK I sent a PM) to you with my email.

I’ve been looking for a good odds calculator and this one sounds great  :-D

The new FAQ

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=16872.msg563184#msg563184

indicates that now (only) the best result of the two dice counts.

So you probably want to re-update your tool :-)

The AAProbability.jar is not intended to be unzipped, as it is a Java-program.
If you have JRE installed, just doubleclick on the file and it will run.

I already sent it to him a while back, and he’s already using it, thanks.

Unbelievable.
When I had this question, Krieg answered that it was 2 hits per bomber.  I noticed the rulebook did not clearly state this, however.
Krieg has also said that paratroopers could advance past the first blitzed territory.
Now both of these Krieg answers have been undone.  Unbelievable is all I can say.

thanks for making this!

This is a program i wrote that takes care of all the banking and much more of the gameplay.  It makes games go faster, and it saves information about each player from each turn.  Me and the group  I play with have really enjoyed using it, please give it a try, its available at http://sites.google.com/site/dkat106inc/axis-and-allies-v2-00?pli=1

All suggestions are greatly appreciated please let me know what you think.

the link to download is on the website posted previously, please download it and let me know what you think!  I am constantly updating it and am very eager to hear other’s ideas.  Enjoy!
