New Odds Battle Calculator

[djensen]

I recently launched a new project to create a true odds Axis & Allies battle calculator. The nice thing about using true odds is that it is significantly faster and more accurate than a Monte Carlo simulation. Results are nearly instantaneous.

It’s in beta for the time being while I work out the bugs. I do plan on charging for it eventually but it’s free while in beta. Patrons Silver and below will get a discount, Gold and above will get it for free. I know there are free ones out there but none of them perform like this.

So far I only have 2 games covered: Anniversary Edition and Classic.

Please provide bug reports, feedback, and feature requests here.

For features,

Would you like a history of previous calculations?

Would you like to compare two calculations side by side?

This looks great. I do have an issue with anniversary calculator. I put in naval battle. Two subs and a fighter against a battleship and a transport. The results don’t seem correct. On the defender IPC loss.

@djensen
Also I thought tanks were 5 IPC in anniversary per the rule book.

@LincolnHawk Thanks for the feedback. There is definitely a problem with the IPC counts.

I thought I fixed the tank IPC problem but sure enough it’s still there.

Fixed! Check out the release notes: https://www.axisandallies.org/battle-calculator/changelog/

Love this thing! I’m a huge fan of the option to select the number of rounds of battle to calculate, and I also like seeing the average ipc advantage for each battle.

I did spot what might be one small issue. Reviewing the detailed outcomes panel for a couple of battles, I saw an undamaged battleship listed as the only surviving unit. (Example below)

I’m not sure if this is the calculator selecting not to take the hit on the battleship in some iterations, or just an issue in the reporting of what survived.

Thank you for putting this together!

@AdamGameSmith Lol. I see the problem. In the OOL “Battleship” should be first and “Battleship (Damaged)” should be last.

On top of that, we should not allow the the order to be incorrect.

Thanks for reporting this!
