Good game, very close! Then I calculated the Berlin 1-2 and got a completely different result, from what I remember, the UK got around average, and the USA got an above average result with an overall roughly 2% odds to take Berlin. The 1-2 on Moscow was roughly a 94% for Japan to take, and my Germany got bang on average result. I was using a worse calculator at the time, so I might have miscalculated. I'm not sure what you were expecting from Infantry attack roles. You needed heavier units for UK. GGs!
@johnrobertsgaming4 күн бұрын
@@bonkcc_ with the UK they were coming in with four fighters. It is Only a 50/50 that you shoot down one. Not likely you shoot down two. In each round the fighter is hitting nothing. Two fighters that were left. There was four rounds of combat. And I was expecting six or seven more hits if I got average dice. Five more hits if you do shoot down one fighter. And on the Moscow battle you were on average expecting to have a few of those tanks left not eight or nine. I mean things like that happen. But I was literally counting hits. I was counting how many hits each side was expecting. The calculator might say there's a 94% chance of you conquering with one unit left. That's probably the disgruppancy.

When I go 4 inf 2 tanks on USSR in r1, I prefer to place my 2 tanks in the Caucasus. That way, if GER doesn't stack Karelia round 1 and instead just puts 1-2 inf in every border state, then I can send a tank or even 2 down to India in round 2 if Japan does the 3 transport + 2 art open and looks like they might try to go India capture in round 3 with their opening moves. The only 2 downsides are A) having 2 less inf available if he does a Ukraine stack in R1, but that's pretty rare, and B) potentially leaving tanks vulnerable if he attack Caucasus in r1 but you'll know if this is possible before the placement phase, dependent upon how Ukraine and West Russia battles went.

Quite rare where it actually matters and fortunately in this game was just a good learning exercise.

Idk with the US destroyers move to UK waters... could have waited until UK put a fleet down... he's got enough air to sink it in 1 round, and 2 two's might get no hitbacks... Relatively low risk fight for him, high risk for you (especially considering his dice). One nice thing is that Japan is just wasting tank left and right, and that is completely unsustainable. Your opponent isn't a platinum that is for sure, but his dice are ;)
@johnrobertsgaming5 ай бұрын
I should have put a fleet down first thing. I don't know why but I lost track of turn order when I was making that move. So I decided to put the US destroyers there anyway to see what he would do. He had a lot of trading to do. So even if he did get my destroyers for free, He could not afford to go his second round in a row without trading with the US. I had control of too much of Europe even if it was only with a couple units in each region. That was my philosophy. I was also angry about his dice and I was trying to be a little aggressive.

With Japan building the 3rd complex, giving it 7 production spaces on mainland Asia, I fully expect him to completely ignore the Japan complex other than for air, transport troops into Egypt to reinforce the Germans there, and hold the Suez open for the Japanese fleet that shall move to SZ34. This move will delay any push into Moscow, true, but US will have to move from the Med, giving up the IPC there, also Japanese will start grabbing UK income along the German tank in Africa, also gives a possibility for even a stronger Japanese push towards the Atlantic through the Med presenting problems for the Allies as they will have only France to attack (German air preventing Baltic while Japanese fleet and German air pressuring the fleets to combine at SZ8 and still having to defend SZ 10 due to bombers in France). If you see a German factory build in Egypt this is 100% the plan. In this case it's up to the USSR to force troops towards Asia in order to take away Japan IPC and move the main western defense in Karelia so Germans cannot retake their lost IPC in the north. BTW on USSR round, you had 1inf and 2 arty in Karelia. Why didn't you swap the arty with infantry from WR? He didn't manage to take it but only due to very poor RNG, and still an arty got lost in the process that didn't need to get lost. I always tend to NOT present arty in defense whenever I have the chance. Just no need for it.
