@gamerman01:
I don’t like that method at all. A battle calculator is much more useful.
Using that method, if I attack 2 fighters with 4 men and one bomber, we both have the same attacking power - 8. The method does not take into account how many units each of you have or what types you have. The defending fighters’ first 4 hits (if they get that many) will each only reduce the attackers’ power by 1, while each attacker hit will reduce the defender by 4.
Probable result of this battle would be - round 1 - defender loses a fighter, and possibly both, and attacker loses 1-2 infantry. Round 2 - defender loses second fighter, attacker loses 0-1 infantry. Your method would indicate that both sides have a similar chance of wiping the other out. I agree it can be a decent “rule of thumb” but it can be very misleading.
If you’re not going to post where an AA50 battle calculator is, why are you posting here? Are you just trying to make a point that battle calculators are unnecessary?
? Did you not read what I said? Did you miss the part where I said “take your total of punch/6 and subtract from each side”?
And, if you’re going to tell people about “unnecessary posting”, why did the 1st response to the thread have to be “thanks for posting this, I want one too.”? :roll:
