Commander's Report Battle Tab

Would be nicer if it had a column reporting the final odds and maybe the initial reported CV odds. I'm doing this by hand (opening each hex and looking at the detailed combat report) right now and it's a real pain.

Trying to reverse engineer the recipe?

[thedoctorking]

That's the basic idea. I'd like to know what makes an attack successful.

You should try watching battle reports in real time on message level 7 [:'(]

Get a cup of tea, some biscuits and a comfy chair - it is going to be a long night!

I did try message level 7, but my patience ran out after half an hour or so of "AT gun section disrupted by Howitzer".

[:D]

For those with less patience than Crackaces, level 4 or thereabouts can still be informative.

Doing a battle report that high will put you in the crazy house quick ;-P. My son is a psychiatrist if you need one after staring at that for a bit.

And if that gets old, you can watch paint dry. Just make sure its beige.

Exactly and the match up’s are not what you might assume. In this case a howitzer or howitzers are disrupting I.e takenung out of combat multiple AT guns that tanks will never see. Interesting match ups are AT gun disrupts bicycle squads (showing how bicycles draw fire from AT guns). I think there is randomness, and although an 88mm should have some affinity for shooting at Soviet tanks — it appears not. Thus it is easy to conclude what Telemecus has been saying “anything anti ... Is not” Flak is accounted for in the first air phase, and is anti air...

It does not take too many observations of different devices to get a feel of how combat works, and how the system is far more complex than matching CV strengths to a Combat Results Table.

if not that is a big game changer for me

I would think aircraft first...... then TANKS!!!! And if cows flew they should be the first target since you don't want to get hit by their bomb load ;-P

aircraft first then tanks I can live with - tanks not at all is not historically what the 88mm did.

As for the Soviet 1st volunteer cow regiment, I think we are safe.
