    I believe you’ve made an error early on.

    How did Moscow get knocked down to 20@2 for round 2?

    You opened with 19 hits which means Moscow should lost 5 aa, 1 strat, and 13 inf.

    That means I should have had 24@2 for round 2

  • '17

    Also, for that final round all those tactical bombers don’t get to fire at 4.  Only those paired with tanks and fighters can.


  • I was just going to post that… what should I do, reroll the whole thing? Your performance has been quite good despite my mistakes.


  • Well, I’ll finish this abortion of an attack (my apologies), and if the result is poor for you I’d be happy to reroll from scratch.

    I am kinda confused, did you try and correct the mistake from round 2 by adding D rolls to round 3?

  • '17

    Actually R2 was further off than I thought.

    It should have been 28@2 for D

  • '17

    I might end up losing Moscow anyways, but it’s unacceptable for 8 of my units to disappear for a round.

    I would prefer it if you rolled my extra 8@2, then start fresh with a new round 3 (taking into account any extra hits from those 8 defenders).

  • '17

    R1

    A 15 inf, 3 mech, 5 art, 19 tank, 2 fig, 6 tact, 5 strat (19 hits)
    D 5 aa, 1 strat, 33 inf, 4 art, 4 mech, 2 tank, 3 tact, 7 fig (18 hits)

    R2

    A 5 art, 19 tank, 2 fig, 6 tact, 5 strat (15 hits)
    D 20 inf, 4 art, 4 mech, 2 tank, 3 tact, 7 fig (14 hits + however many the 8 missed @2 rolls add up to)


  • Sure thing.

    DiceRolls: 8@2; Total Hits: 38@2: (5, 5, 4, 6, 4, 1, 1, 1)


  • So hits are now 15 vs. 17.

    I’ve got us at 7 tanks (Germany) + other higher hitting units, 5 inf. (Russia) + higher hitting units.

    I must now solemnly contemplate retreat.

    (BTW, I had the count right for the next round because I was accurately deleting units from the map. For whatever reason I typed only 20 for Rd. 2, but still had the correct record going for Rd. 3, which had you at 13@2).

  • '17

    The original round 3 defensive count was correct for the original round 3 roll, but the original round 3 attacking count gave you three extra rolls @3.

    If you want to use the original roll, we’d need to have a fair way to randomly select 3 rolls @3 to disregard from the original round 3 attack roll.

  • '17

    Though if we go down that path, fixing round 4 will get more complicated.


  • Screw it, it’s supposed to be Moscow in 5, right?

    (I think you mean Rd. 4, when I had too few tanks to support my tacs? Rd.3, at worst, gives me 7 tanks).
