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:
