Next will be 51, 48 Eastern Poland South east of Brest-Litovsk

7-1B so again, no roll required

GER INF & IT 5-4 MOT advance

58, 55 Bessarabia is Next

GER choice will make it a 6-1B with +1 so will be B result, roll will dtermine if RU unit survives or not

I will note first though that the game is only giving +1 when it has both an ARM and HQ-A in the attack, I have reread the Optional and see that this is correct, it is a +1 for each 2 pieces of ARM or MECH, I had it wrong in planning up until now .........

4 Rolled, dead

GER Blitzes ARM & HQ-A through to Chisinau and MOT and 2 x ART advance to captured hex

You are indeed correct on the rule. However, Steve decided that each ARM should give +0,5 so that two ARM gives +1, but that means that only one ARM in the attack gives +0.5 and MWIF then rounds that up to +1.

Note that ARM divs gets +0,25. And that rivers halves the bonus.

So I suspect that you didn't have it wrong in the planning. And I have no idea why it didn't work this way in this attack.

48, 47 will be next

Again is GER choice making it a 6-1B +1

There is a 40% chance Fractional Odd will shift to Automatic 7-1B

Success on a roll of 25, hence I will not use the roller for the combat roll

HQ-A Blitz through the captured hex to 48, 48

Next up is Lvov

Will be USSR Choice, I see no reason for a Blitz

Current odds are 7-1 but 60% chance of a Fractional Odds Shift to 10-1 Auto

710 is a fail for the Fractional

but a Attack Roll of 9 is a win

GER Advances HQ-A MOT & MOT DIV

Brest-Litovsk is Next

Again no reason for Blitz and this time Fractional roll will not shift the results from a 7-1

Hence, I will only use the Roller for the Attack Roll ....

1 Rolled, an Attack that probably didn't need to be made was poorly executed and MIL destroyed and the remainder Disorganized

INF advances

Next is Vilna

USSR Choice currently a 5-1 but about 83% chance of a 7-1

205 Fractional Roll, so a 7-1

Attack roll of 7, Vilna falls

GER advances 8-5 MECH & AT

That leaves the PARA and Invading DIV in 57, 56 which will be 5-1 with a +2

USSR Choice, no reason for a Blitz, No Fractional

Attack roll is a 1, again poorly executed, but the hex falls and nobody is lost, just Disorganized
