the tables and formula (and its proof) work for when all attacking units are the same unit and when all the defending units are the same unit. Otherwise you have to approximate by calculating an average power and average number of units. Example:

on attack:  5 infantry, 4 tanks, 2 fighter.

Total pips: 5+4(3)+2(3) = 23.
Number of units = 5+4+2 = 11

23/11=2

So we can approximate this stack with 11 units hitting at 2, or 11 artillery.

I guess you would use power level 2 and number of units 11 for the purposes of lanchester tables.

Awesome Baron, I will go over the math later but does this proof validate the Lanchester table?

yes I could have done that. Could have also upgraded the IC in sydney. You can also just buy strategic bombers and a transport and pick off lone japanese transports and take back islands.

In our group, we are testing a modification to the ANZAC national objective to require Cairo AND Malaya while at war with Germany and Italy to get 5 IPCs. This way if Japan wants to declare war early, they have the option to deny two bonuses by taking Malaya, but they also have to take philippines to deny the american bonus. So they have to choose. They can’t do everything: money islands, philippines, malaya, yunnan etc. If they don’t declare war early, then Anzac will be able to build up better for the inevitable declaration later on.

In the tournament we consistently had over 40 IPCs with anzac with not enough complexes to build units. I find if America gets an extra 5 and they bring everything they have against Japan PLUS anzac consistently gets over 30 in income, it might be too much for the allies.

Larry Marx has nothing to do with battle estimation, it’s for evaluating HR units and comparing unit to one another.

Ok so I tested manually 141 infantry attacking 100 infantry defending and the results was 12 infantry left standing on the attacks vs 0 on the defense. AAcalc gives this result as well.

Shouldn’t the remaining infantry be the same on both sides if the battle is supposed to be exactly 50:50 according to the table/formula?

I’m posting videos of the G40 Invitational:

Hey guys, this formula is really useful. I would love to see the proof for this. It’s not that I don’t trust you, I just want to see how you derived it, thanks!

For the UK submarine NO, what sea zones does the Atlantic include? I just want to make sure. I think it’s a good rule, you can’t simply put a sub in the med or in the white sea. plus I like to build subs with germany anyways :)

Whatever the rules are….as long as they don’t change with the wind…People are going to practice in accordance to the rules and structure

Based on what I’ve learned last weekend and getting feedback from many participants including Gold medalists like Gargantua… we have settled on the following modifications. I can assure you that there will be no more changes after this because I have to design cards for each change made, and I desperately want to stop making cards. For those that paid for card decks already sent in the mail without the modifications, I will be shipping them free replacement cards for the few changes that were made. Therefore, practice with this rule set… it is now set in stone for better or for worst.

No changes to unit cost for cruiser and BB? I would like to buy one of those someday.
