@JWW:
I assume I’ll hit 3 - you will select 3 bmb’s, If I hit 4 or five I might withdraw after the first rd battle. I have you hitting 2, actually 1. something. Of course it can go either way Me -1,- 2 you +1, +2. But if goes according to plan I hit three you hit 2. Second rd, I hit 2 you hit 1. something even lower? 5 bmb’s gone, ITA navy lives for quite a while.
<sigh> You haven’t played as much A&A as I have, perhaps? I have attacked with 13 tanks before and whiffed. His 3 tanks, in reply, hit 3 for 3. +1 or 2? Expecting average results? tsk tsk
But of course, you get average. As Lucky apparently comprehends - your risk has declined after a big roll. Fortunately for you, you got your 3 hits. It will be sweet when the dice finally even out on you, when you least want them to.
You assume wrongly. I’m not losing 3 bombers, I’m losing 2 green bombers and the infantry. So that when I get 4 hits and you retreat, I will have one more bomber. Or if I get unlucky yet again, you at least have to go more rounds to get more than 2 bombers……
I would roll my own defense, but I don’t know if you’re one of those players who goes ballistic. Don’t want to roll 4 hits and then have you argue about it (pretty sure you wouldn’t, but not willing to chance that).
I played a good guy once, who looked for average “expected” hits, and counted +1, +2, or -1, -2. Funny thing was, he was often disappointed. (Actually, he was on the good end of the 13 vs 3 tank battle. 16 coin flips that all went against me. If it’s possible, it can happen)</sigh>
Rolls: 1@1 2@2 1@3; Total Hits: 31@1: (6)2@2: (2, 1)1@3: (1)
