Why is my enemy's AT so high?

Post by newbie123 »

I m so confused. I m playing as the Warsaw Pact and i have 2 unit attacking a single equivalent unit of my enemy, Nato. Now, the combined AT of my 2 units is actually half that of my enemy despite his is outnumbered with no supporting units in other hexes. What is even more confusing is that the numbers at the bottom right and left that shows 'Our Attack' and 'Enemy Attack' values paint a different picture where my AT value is actually higher. It is the same for every Nato unit which doesnt make any sense. Thanks for helping, I inserted a screenshot to help you understand my question better.

Note that only the new Odds Pane includes the effect of terrain/deployment on combat (See 16.4 in the manual). The older "Our Attack" and "Enemy Attack" are raw unit values only (as are the predictions).

If duct tape doesn't fix it then you are not using enough duct tape.

I just use imgur (create a free account) and then simply drag and drop your images into imgur and then select BBCode and paste here:

Code: Select all

 This is what the BBCode looks like when you paste it in a thread:
