Because there is very little optimizing with fractional odds, both combat factors and ground support matter much less as far as trying to get the perfect mix. ...
I sometime wonder if all are playing the same game :-). Remorselessly hammer IT fleet or always lording it over the British fleet does just not happen in...
Can we pls finish this whinging about Lane's being banned? He can apologies and come back. That not too difficult a job. Takes one mail. Meanwhile the list...
Why should Germany DOW the Netherlands in 39 or 40? As I see it, this is just give a possible US entry chit and 10 CPs to the Commonwealth, in exchange for a...
Well, it does give better frontage against belgium.... the navy can take a hit by german/italy nav so some of it can end up in german hands and/or at the...
you can say what you want, but maths are stubborn. You cannot neglect the chits. On average, a d10 give 5.5, but sometimes you get one, and sometimes you get...
Frankly, many times with fractional odds we don't even bother to count the odds before declaring the attack. If, for example, we need to attack Kiev and it is...
I will disagree somewhat here. A neutral Netherlands has a nice feature for the Axis....it provides a shield against CW strat bombing. There are, I think, a...
Anything to do with action limits is ahistorical. It's the core of the game, but it's ahistorical. To claim doing away with it is ahistorical seems illogical...
If you get 2 D's in a naval combat and there is only 1 target, what happens if the 1st D result fails (i.e. it becomes an A). 1. Is the 2nd D wasted because...
We play #1. The second "D" is wasted because there is no target left to apply it to. This is hardly the worst thing that can happen to you. Let's say you...

But the maths also show that the odds of Germany having a 2-1 or better ratio in chits vs Russia are better than the odds of having LESS than 2-1. And the...
There'a also that element to it; the concept that if you have a little more than whatever the numbers would be to get the lower attack ratio, you go for it...
I'm WAY behind on reading the current threads and immediately grabbed this one because of the title. ...how disappointing... In the MWiF clarification process,...
please explain why "the maths also show that the odds of Germany having a 2-1 or betterratio in chits vs Russia are better than the odds of having LESS...
Actually, the maths show that Germany can achieve more or less exactly 2:1 garrison under the following curcumstances: - Losses have been small - Very little...
Simple, really. three possible outcomes: less than double, equal to double, or greater than than double. Given two to one pulls from equivalent pools,...
Hmm, it appears that I misread Wendell's post... I think Wendel's point is that, given that there is a finite probability that the chits are exactly 2:1, and...
hi, there is some false assumption in your calcul. for example, in most case, the russian will not have 2 "4" values. you forget too that the german can...
All true, I think I mentioned all of this in my post. It doesnt matter much, however, if the stdv of the hidden chits are 3, 3.5 or 4, the total stdv is...
As for the possibility of DOW in J/F or M/A 41, my assumption was that all chits will be face up before 41. (Russia could of course keep more face down, if she...
I've downloaded Vassal, and it appears that it has all the maps etc needed to actually play the game, so i dont need to set up a game at home. I live in...
Already have the MBA, so no need - why take one of those semi-degrees when I'll get two full ones :-). Have any ideas for the next one? Looking for a PhD in...
One cannot "lord it over" the British fleet. But with air superiority (always before the US gets there if desired), all the carriers are at risk and the CW...
