RE: May 23 1941

<t> MM has also resigned this game due to his real life commitments. I don't think there was much doubt that the Axis were going to win this game anyway. Again we played until September 41.<br/>

The BOA was a bit of a stalemate. I built more U-Boats (8) than MM did in our other game, but I ...

Considering MM only had 6 U-Boats, he did a lot of damage with them. But I was building a lot of MM with the UK so I think I was up to ...

RE: Defensive air support

<t> There are also situations where GS will be of big benefit to the Attacker. For example, if you have a 6 strength Attacker attacking a 3 Strength Defender across a river the combat odds will be 1:1. But if the Attacker adds in a 6 Strength Air Unit the odds will become 3:1. <br/>

RE: Defensive air support

<t> I am not sure that the examples you have given create the "Huge Swings" that you have stated. A 3:1 becomes a 2:1, not that big a deal. I believe a 3:1 will cause a Retreat Result about 35% of the time while a 2:1 is about 20% of the time. So on the one hand the Defensive GS has almost halved ...

RE: Airfield strikes need love

<t> Examining this it appears to me that your airfield attack did no damage at all as the Combat Logs all show "Defender Losses Airfield: 0". What caused the losses to the French Fighter was the air-to-air combat. You would have gotten exactly the same results if you had performed an air strike of ...
