Are you happy to concede this one? Berlin is down and the other Axis powers have almost all their income disrupted by convoys on future turns.

Germany will probably be able to reclaim Berlin but they’ve taken too much of a hit.

[SixUnder]

Yeah, i dont disagree.

Are we allowed to play again? I know we did a re-match, but i am trying to get better. I like playing you, i am learning a ton… Specially with the Axis, which is my weak link.

[simon33]

So same sides?

Happy to have a rematch.

[SixUnder]

Yeah, sounds good to me. I posted your victory for ya.

On a side note: Just answer me this, when do you attack? in other words, at what percentage?

In our game, i lost 7 battles when i was above 90% to win according to calculator. Is that not high enough?

I don’t have a hard and fast rule. Depends on the prize for winning vs losses. If its good enough I can attack at 30% or even less. TBH, I pay more attention to the TUV swing than the win % and even that is misleading when damaged CVs come into it, or defending bombers etc.

One more comment I’ll make on this one. I have learnt to think about what will happen if the attack goes against me - if I retreat will my units be able to be picked off and thus I’ll need to continue anyway or am I likely to be able to hold the position I’ve retreated to?

If I make a good attack which goes bad I don’t get too upset about it. It’s part of the game and you have to deal with it.

On a side note: Just answer me this, when do you attack? in other words, at what percentage?

In our game, i lost 7 battles when i was above 90% to win according to calculator. Is that not high enough?

I don’t have a hard and fast rule. Depends on the prize for winning vs losses. If its good enough I can attack at 30% or even less. TBH, I pay more attention to the TUV swing than the win % and even that is misleading when damaged CVs come into it, or defending bombers etc.

Simon, treat me like a 1st grader. Explain TUV swing and the concept itself to me  :-D
