[QUOTE=Joe 98]There is a screen shot a part of the way down that web page. Its shows some odds of 7-1 It also shows Shift + 4 But I would have thought that the shifts are: 6 + 1 + 1 – 1 = Shifts + 7 Why does it say Shifts + 4 ? Joe[/QUOTE] Ok the odds have been calculated like this: [IMG]http://stuff.robjess.com/archives/art-combat-2.jpg[/IMG] note that the image quality has been reduced due to sizing and compression - sorry! Reading Right to left from the combat panel: Attack Shifts +6 shifts for ART +1 shift for barrage +1 shift for leadership Total Attacker Positive Shifts is +8 Defence Shifts Defenders always get -3 shifts - but the attacking force is getting two postitive shifts from the directions it is attacking - This can be confirmed by the two green arrow heads to the extreme right of the panel. Note that whilst they are actually attacking from 3 directions.. they are only getting 2 shifts (the direction reflected by the orange arrow head isnt contributing to a shift as they have units adjecent to them). So therefore, -3 defence shifts but the attacker has 2 tactical shifts, so this equates to: -1 defence shift -2 ART defence shifts And then notice up on the blue banner where it says 22 (thats the defence strength) - see the additional -1 : this is an additional -1 shift because the defending units are Elite! So: -1 Elite Total Defence shifts is -4 So all up, attack is +8 shifts, defence is -4 shifts, so the result should be +4 shifts to the attacker!
