Help understanding DMG calculation
Posted: Sun Jan 12, 2025 12:09 pm
Hallo all.
I'm completely new to the strategic commander series, and after some research decided to start with WiE.
I have some 50 hours in Panzor Corps, but for strategic wargames outside the HOI series that is all.
As a player, I'm sadly the type that likes to understand the underlaying mechanics, and do the math, but now I have encountered a predicted loss calculation I just can't seem to get right.
The attacker predicted loss is correct, but the estimated 4 on the enemy sides has me confused.
As we know the calculation is as such:
Attacker Losses = Defender’s Combat Multiplier * (Defense Type Value + Defender Experience / 3) - Attacker Multiplier * Attacker Experience / 3
Defender Losses = Attacker Multiplier * (Attack Type Value + Attacker Experience / 3) - (Defender Multiplier * (Defender Experience / 3 + Defender Entrenchment + Defense Bonuses).
Going by the numbers on the picture, my math for Defender losses looks like this:
1,11*(4+0/3) - (0,53*(0/3+0+0))
If my math is sound, and even calculating with the addtional -+ 1 that the game throws in for randomness, I can't seem to undestand the calculation at 4..
I have also checked research and nothing there pops out either.
Can anyone assist me?
