I’m gone this weekend, and stirling is gone for the week.

[Major Major]

Sorry to interrupt, but I’ve a question for questioneer; is there a new battlemap or upgrade. I can’t open the maps from anyone’s games that are recent.  I can still open my old ones?

[jim010]

We still playing?  :?

[questioneer]

yes, been busy- exams

Hmm … I’m still getting 78% success on low luck for Sealion.  Which means I would survive with little.

[jim010]

78% on low luck is too risky …

too risky??? wow…please elaborate…I’m interested in your thinking here.  Taking London gains you cash back for your losses and no income from Britain for several rounds (material against you- you should count this as an asset for you).  Taking the Brit Isles gain you +9 a round and 30+ cash not including the 25IPC a turn that can be churned out against you- which is save material for you.

My philosophy is that as Germany you at least have to threaten Sealion to force Britain to build infantry.  I’m puzzled. :?

[jim010]

I won’t survive with enough.

If you want me to do Sealion anyway, I’ll do it just to see where it goes, but I’m surviving with a handful.  And there is still a 1/4 chance that I still lose in lowluck.

As a playtest you want me to do it?

[questioneer]

No, you don’t have to, do what you want.  I just think you’re a little gun shy.  78% is a lot!  I’ve calculated Sealion (depending on the position which varies little to be around 60-70% give or take.  Anything under 60-65% I consider too risky for me, but to each his own…

[jim010]

You misunderstand the odds.  Regular luck it is 55%.  You never run Sealion on that.  78% on low luck.  That is crappy for lowluck.

[jim010]

I don’t do Sealion based on odds, but on how much I survive with.  If I can get it with most of my tanks, I do it.

I’ll tell you what, I’ll run it then.  But I’ll want a rematch if it blows up in my face.
