Patron 2012 - Gold

Speaking of dealing with the German Air Force, something I’ve tried as the Axis is buying 2x Subs every so often to build up a stack in the Baltic. This way I can attack an Allied navy and not lose too many expensive fighters. Some times this slows down the Allied invasion as they spend extra time buying ships. In one game I ended up with a stack of 6 + 5 Fighter + 2 Bomber and scared the Allied player away from landing until they had no choice as I had India, Hawaii, and was 1 turn away from Moscow. I wouldn’t expect most players to be that afraid of my subs though.

So you think it’s a better use of the India Fighter to help sink the Med fleet if they do the Suez attack G1, rather than kill the Japanese Kwangtung Transport?

Current stable is 2.2.20790

Savegames from 2.0 and 2.1 are compatible.

@Boston_NWO Are you just ceding Africa to Germany then?

They closed out my ticket by telling me you can just to X to solve the problem even when I said in my original report that doing X doesn’t work. I’ll keep pestering them!

@Imperious-Leader said in PRNG dice support group — and ranting:

And do you have at least 150 games played?

Nope, nor would I need to if the RNG was really as broken as claimed. I haven’t seen the behavior you describe of one side always guaranteed to get a hit if the other does. The battles where I send in overwhelming force to clean out 1 - 2 units wins with no losses in line with probability.

Your struggles more than likely actually confirm that the RNG is fine. If all rolls for all players have a nice distribution curb, then somebody is going to lie on the lower end where they feel ganked all the time. Nobody wants to be Hurley from LOST and there’s no way to say the game would ever switch to feeling right for you. Flipping tails 1,000 times in a row doesn’t mean you can’t get tails again on the next flip.

Growing up my father would always gripe about the ‘law of averages’ and imply the universe was against him if he lost too much family game night. Sadly that isn’t how probability works. If you’ve been ganked 1,000 times you can get ganked 1,000 more.

But a planned offering of units that might compliment games OOB pieces.

For example a set of light cruisers for 1940, or Heavy Tanks, or etc

Its such a Hodge Podge of units from different eras right?

11 models, 8 German, then this that and another… Very expensive hobby to do this sort of thing.

The elephant is missing the barrel and why so many random pieces? Where these for some game that didn’t make it?

Yes, the barrel was too thin and snapped. Needs to be adjusted (this is why I do test prints first).

And … why not? Variety is the spice of life.

Also, my complaint is that the dice perform a “tit for tat” in combat.

I miss
They miss
I hit
they hit
i miss
they miss

And usually on the way out when its the last enemy unit, it will hit.

and nearly always if you got overwhelming force, the enemy will force you to “pay the toll”

from which if the total value of the enemy is say 6 IPC, during combat they will exact 2 hits overall

It is a tendency. it may not happen 100%, but the average is what im speaking about.
