I’ve been using Proton’s BattleSim

It’s got a nice interface, lets you alter how many calculations to run, and allows you to alter the OOL. Only thing is I don’t know how accurate it is.

I’ve noticed a couple of glitches with it though. If you do an amphibious assault with a BB shot, when you add the BB to the attacking forces, it adds 24 IPCs to your “IPC Spent”. Also, if the amphibious assault fails, then it includes the BB in your “Most Likely Loss of IPCs”. But you just have to remember to subtract 24 from that.

The other thing I noticed is that if you have 1 inf + 1 art attacking 1 inf, the attacker’s “Most Likely Loss of IPCs” is 0. However, if you have 2 inf + 1 art attacking 1 inf, the attacker’s MLLoI is 3. I’m not sure if this is a programming thing, or a statistical anomaly, but it doesn’t seem right to me.

Anyway, if anyone else uses it, I would be interested in their feedback.

How about having another child forum to move completed games into, so that only active games are in the Games forum.

@Jennifer:

Now what’s this patch?

Some of the sea zone numbering is a bit screwed down by Aus and NZ. The patch fixes this.

@DarthMaximus:

So the US DD attacks, but the sub scores a hit, you cannot take the hit on the UK BB, right?

That’s the impression I get from the latest LHTR (1.3?)

@frimmel:

He may move it to another enemy occupied sea zone to begin combat, a freindly sea zone or an empty sea zone.

OK, that was the bit I was unsure about. Thanks

I had a question about submerging submarines. It’s probably easier to explain my question with this (admitedly daft) scenario:

G player attacks a GB BB with his sub. First round of combat and everybody misses. G player suddenly has a crisis of confidence and so submerges his sub. Everything carries on merrily, and at the end of non-combat, the G sub pops back up to the surface.

Now, on the GB player’s turn, there is a GB BB in a seazone with a G sub. Can the GB player move his BB elsewhere, or is he forced into combat with the G sub?
