1/13/21, 12:47 PM - [Allied]: 1 LC. CCP vs IJA 2nd Mot. Initial odds are +6.4.
1/13/21, 12:46 PM - [Allied]: <Media omitted>1/13/21, 12:48 PM - [Allied]: No allied air support or intercept. IJA/IJN can provide defensive ground support? Also, assault of blitz?
1/13/21, 12:48 PM - [Axis]: give me a few, in a meeting
1/13/21, 12:48 PM - [Allied]: copy
1/13/21, 12:49 PM - [Allied]: please, take your time. I'm in no rush.
1/13/21, 12:54 PM - [Axis]: When you take the screenshot, you can set it to delay up to 5 seconds before windows takes the screenshot. During that time, it will display the raw odds above. I need the raw odds in order to calculate how impactful air support will be
1/13/21, 12:56 PM - [Allied]: Raw Odds: 15.5, rounded to 16 to 5 = 3.2 x 2 = 6.4.
1/13/21, 1:00 PM - [Axis]: Fly the D3A2 and B5N1. Land the B5N1 on top of Terauchi and the D3A2 in Checngchow. Assault
1/13/21, 1:01 PM - [Allied]: copy
1/13/21, 1:02 PM - [Allied]: Mao provides +1.5 in offensive HQ support.
1/13/21, 1:03 PM - [Allied]: IJA flies in D3A2, B5N1 which provides 5 factors of defensive ground support.

1/13/21, 1:09 PM - [Axis]: The roll of death
1/13/21, 1:09 PM - [Allied]: Fractional=954 (missed), 2D10=10, LCR=4+0+10=14. IJA 2nd Mot destroyed, CCP lose 2 units (Lanchow Warlord & 1st inf army) & remaining 2 attackers flipped.
1/13/21, 1:09 PM - [Allied]: Except that extra loss wasn't in play.
1/13/21, 1:09 PM - [Axis]: right
1/13/21, 1:09 PM - [Allied]: Wouldn't have made the attack if it were.
1/13/21, 1:09 PM - [Allied]: Still, losing 2 is costly.
1/13/21, 1:10 PM - [Allied]: <Media omitted>
1/13/21, 1:10 PM - [Allied]: post losses & advance.
1/13/21, 1:12 PM - [Allied]: Interestingly, even if I had made the fractional (90% chance that I would), the final result would have been exactly the same.
1/13/21, 1:12 PM - [Allied]: That is, a 14 & 15 on the assault CRT w/o an extra loss in play is the same.
1/13/21, 1:13 PM - [Axis]: %70 chance on fractional
1/13/21, 1:15 PM - [Allied]: There you go again ... correcting my incorrect math! &#128512;
1/13/21, 1:17 PM - [Allied]: End of turn check (1-3 ends).
1/13/21, 1:18 PM - [Allied]: d10=5, turn continues.

Turn 5. May/June 1940. Allied #7.
1/12/21, 3:02 PM - [Allied]: I know there's only a 10% chance of the turn ending on this impulse (allied #7); but I'd certainly be willing to take the initiate track hit if it did. But I get way ahead of myself.

Never say something like this. The dice listen, and then roll to spite you. I can't think of anything more likely to cause the turn to go very long. I thought you knew better than do this! [:)]
