Michael, I checked the battle you mentioned, but the soviet CV only went from 189 to 440, that is not a X3 attack. So you might need a better calculator to do the math. I think both Saper and me are enjoying this game, I fight forward as it is fun and also by doing so, I am going to keep both Leningrad and Moscow in 1941. On the other hand, Saper got opportunity to pocket my troops, so he is happy too. The process is quite like history, the SHC suffer very heavy casualty, but keep both Leningrad and Moscow. And don’t forget I am defending a extend Lvov opening. If the combat system is in favor of the soviet side, then it only shows how good Saper is as a GHC, because he never complain about it, instead, he adjust his tactics and strategy pretty well and earn my respect. He said he is enjoying the challenge; that is indeed what a great player should do and Saper deserves the respect. By the way, I don’t think I am doing a desperate attack in this case, under a good leader, 19 attacking CV against 35 defensive CV on a clear hex is what I intentionally aimed for, you could see I didn’t occupied the clear hexes in all the maps I posted. I think that should be a normal result by a good SHC player if he knows how to assign leaders and SU. You surprised me that you seem to don’t know how vulnerable troops could be on clear hexes. If so, then it seems that my previous impression that you are a good player in this game could be wrong. quote:
ORIGINAL: Michael T That last attack that the soviets made shows WITE right now is broken. 6 Soviet ID v 3 German Divisions should be an absolute slaughter of Russian troops. I can't think of any other game I have ever played that would yield a win for the Russians in this case. In FITE ( Europa boardgame) the attack would be something like a 1:2 -1 DRM. A suicide attack that only a truly desperate player would make. This whole X3 or X4 of attacking CV due to leader rolls is completely borked.
