13L G40 PGMatt vs. Zhukov4 (Allies +9)

[Zhukov44]

I had a look at the kamis and it went fine…all the kamis for the dd rolled 3.  So only the cruiser was killed by kamis.

One time an opponent managed to win this battle, after my kamis missed.  So I was a little worried!  But I estimate that with the kamis in there the Allied odds of winning are 5% or less.  I think I need an extra dd to get it down to under 1-2%.

Re the China fig we’re pretty much screwed.  I reported this bug before, but it hasn’t been fixed yet.  If more people report it, the programmers are more likely to fix it.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=44492&atid=439737

you describe the problem and upload a save file, and hopefully the bug gets fixed in the next release.  Most bugs get fixed really quickly.  Open source is pretty cool!

I guess just use a brit of usa fig to represent the china fig, and if you have an opportunity to make an attack with it we can work out a sensible compromise.

[Seador]

I can see two workable solutions

The easier is as you propose.  Simply use the editor to create US forces in china for “attack” and then edit them back out after.

The other option would be to roll back to the US turn and recreate it until it looks like the map I uploaded C1.

I’ll see how today at work goes and if I can make that happen.

[Zhukov44]

Right your 2nd idea would work fine–just play the usa turn in local mode and then edit the results to match the dice.  And do the same with China.

That was a weird round.  Another absurdly lucky result for the Luftwaffe along with a heroic defense in Greece.  I took the bomber as a casualty round 1 cause I didn’t see an argument otherwise–ie if the brits got their average 2 defensive hits Germany would still be heavily favored to win the battle, so i figured you would want to maximize your odds of winning or doing max dmg.  Looking back that might have been presumptuous–if it was let me know and we can work something out.

Well, I can honestly say that I considered the attack posibility and had planned to take the bomber last, so I would like to swap that for one of the inf instead.
