This is very inportant rule. Early in turn risk of disorganizing your units is reason not to attack. Think about attacking USSR and disorganize your panzer spear head in East Poland on impulse 1. They will stay there until end of turn unless you use HQ to reorg them. IfHQ stay there, units can trace supply only 4 hexes from HQ.

ORIGINAL: Chicharito19

Poland chooses Assault. They roll a 10 modified to 13. The German's lose all attacking units. Defenders lose no units.

So if you breakdown this assault, you only had a 15.7% chance of winning the combat and capturing Warsaw. Additionally, there was a 12.7% chance that you would have had to lose 3 attackers.

I have developed an excel based 2D10 CRT calculator (free for any and all) which I use to examine such odds. I've personally found this tool to be invaluable in making informed decisions about which attacks to make, whether to force a blitz or an assault, whether to include ground or HQ support, etc.

If interested you can find, and download, this calculator here:

Thanx Ronnie,

I'll have to take a look at it. Sorry again for taking so long between posts. Real life.



Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (2/24/2020 6:04:38 AM)

Germany's von Rundstedt uses his four reorg points to reorganize units around Warsaw. The 7-3, 7-4, 6-4 infantry units and the 2-3 anti-tank unit.

Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (2/24/2020 6:06:57 AM)

The Commonwealth decides to load the XV Mech unit out of Dover onto a transport and bring it across to France. I later realize this move to debark to France would not be allowed.

France makes no naval moves. United States doesn't make any naval moves.

Commonwealth and France decide not to take a chance at strategic bombing at this point.

Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (2/24/2020 6:08:31 AM)

The Nationalist Chinese garrison at Chengsha is available for a rail move. However Chiang-Kia-Shek determines to leave the garrison there.

The Commonwealth elects to forego rail movement.



Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (2/24/2020 6:08:59 AM)

The United States moves P-40's from the east coast to the west coast, San Diego.

The USSR elects to not make rails moves as does Communist China.

Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (2/24/2020 6:09:40 AM)

Communist China chooses to move the 1st Infantry into Nanyang to be a little closer to the front. As it is storming they can't move any further without disorganization.

USSR troops cross into NE Poland. This causes a US Entry chit to be lost.

Chiang's HQ moves closer to the action which then supplies the 1st Inf Division and the 2nd Cavalry.

The Commonwealth moves the Gort HQ and the XIV Motor along the coast from Calais to Bologne. Weather hampers further movement.

The French make no land movements at this time. United States makes no land movements.

No air transport for the Commonwealth.




Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (2/24/2020 6:15:59 AM)

Woops I had not played in some time and am still learning the rules. The Foreign Troop Commitment limit for France prevents me from debarking the XV Mech into France at this time. So I wasted my time putting in on a transport in the North Sea.

Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (2/24/2020 6:16:19 AM)

No allied land combat declarations.

Air Rebase, the Commonwealth move Hurricanes to Reims.

Air Rebase USSR moves Pe-2's and IL-4s to Eastern Poland.

No air reorganizations, HQ reorgs, or naval reorgs.



Courtenay -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (2/24/2020 6:28:18 AM)

You should get that CW plane out of France, so it can be replaced with a land unit. CW air units in Dover do just as good a job as CW air units in France, while the Allies need boots on the ground to defend France.



Chicharito19 -> RE: Hard Knocks: Chicharito19's trying to learn, a Global Campaign experience (2/24/2020 5:42:33 PM)

Ok. Thanx. Hadn’t thought of that. Not having played in a bit I feel almost as if I have become a little “rusty” of what h ave learned this far.

Battle at Warsaw results. I had 2 more combat factors added due to the ground support.

That means German troops move into Warsaw. Forgive me as I did not get a pic of that. But you know the drill much better than I do.
