                  Odds:

                  Moscow: 40.05%
                  Berlin: 35.96% (20%-55%)
                  Final odds: 25,6% (18%-32%)

                  Given the bad German dice during this game, I'd say we need to remove the infantry from Romania to make Europe completely balanced.

                    Funny because the game started out quite good in Germany's favor, but it went very much downhill later in the game. I think that's because the Allies rolled a bit above average in every single naval battle, and all those small bits added up and created a massive TUV swing in the Allies' favor.

                    In any case, I am not a fan of the G1 I did so let's go again after this. Did you want to experiment already with one infantry from Romania removed? I am already testing this with Ragnell due to a similar bad German game that still had - at least in my opinion - decent Moscow odds.

                      @victoryfirst said in #8: VF (Germans) vs. TGC (Allies) | Original Europe, no German SCA, one sub Bay of Biscay removed:

                      Odds:

                      Moscow: 40.05%
                      Berlin: 35.96% (20%-55%)
                      Final odds: 25,6% (18%-32%)

                      Given the bad German dice during this game, I'd say we need to remove the infantry from Romania to make Europe completely balanced.

                      Looks right and so I'm going to take the 85% chance the Allies take Moscow on G5.

                            USA5.tsvg never fear my curse is here. Your game - although Berlin was exposed at 85%.... I tend to agree that removing a piece on the east front feels right. Clean up in Moscow and then go again 😃

                              I believe you made a mistake during the UK turn. You edited the Russian transport to Danish Sea, added the tank to Denmark and then also used the tank to attack Berlin, as well as three UK fighters from Karelia that now have a landing spot in Denmark. However this is impossible because the UK tank loaded on the Russian TT on round 4, R5 the Russian TT moves, UK5 the tank unloads the same turn as the attack on Berlin happens -> Tank cannot participate as it just offloaded + Denmark was just captured and therefore doesn't provide a landing spot for the fighters.
                              Definitely no biggie as the Berlin battle went completely my way, but just pointing out the 85% isn't correct.

                              However I think I made a mistake too when computing the final odds for a German win. I calculated the theoretical best odds for each battle, but if you go fully for one battle then that means some units won't be able to participate in the other. Therefore the final odds for a German win are different.

                              Allies attack Berlin on G5 (odds for German win)
                              Berlin: ~64% (and not to forget I can use some tanks from EPOL to recapture Berlin).
                              Moscow: 68%
                              Final odds: 43.5%

                              Allies defend Moscow against G6 attack and attack Berlin on Round 6 (odds for German win)
                              Moscow: 39.47%
                              Berlin: ~20%
                              Final odds: 8%

                              So seeing this I believe you should have stacked up Moscow. I could probably use a couple of tanks to strengthen the defense of Berlin to bring up the final odds because a couple extra units have a big impact on the Berlin battle, while only causing a minor drop of odds on Moscow.

                              In any case 8% looks reasonable, much better than 25% which I previously calculated. Still I want to try the Romania thing to see if it makes the game more balanced or if makes it overshoot in the Allied favor.

                              EDIT In fact, stacking up Moscow would even be better than attacking Berlin on G5 even if you were able to bring in the extra tank and three fighters.
                              Berlin: ~ 10%-15%
                              Moscow: 96%
                              Final odds: 9.6%-14.4%
                              Of course, the Berlin battle has a lot of possible variety which makes the final odds hard to compute, but the (generous) 9,6% is still higher than the 8%

                                So what I would suggest is redo your Allied turn because what happened wouldn't even be possible - and also because I am curious if the numbers tell the truth 😀

                                  USA5.tsvg my bad, I did this recently in my game with Theo but he didn't retake the Netherlands so you are correct. The transport edit was just bc I forgot to move it during the Russian turn and I was trying to make sure there was no error in combat.

                                  Here is what we are looking for - fire away:USA5.tsvg

                                    OK now I am going to try to maximize the final odds for a German win xD

                                    Allies defend Moscow against G6 attack and attack Berlin on Round 6 (odds for German win)
                                    Moscow: 39.47%
                                    Berlin: ~30%
                                    Final odds: 11.8%

                                    +1 tank Berlin / -1 tank Moscow
                                    Moscow: 31.25%
                                    Berlin: ~70%
                                    Final odds: ~20% (21.9%)

                                    +2 tanks Berlin / -2 tanks Moscow
                                    Moscow 22%
                                    Berlin ~85%
                                    Final odds: ~20% (18.7%)

                                    BTW you could have purchased an artillery instead of an infantry on the UK turn. Since you can load two artillery on a transport in this game, you could have had some extra combat factors, so that's why the first calculation in this post is different from the one a couple posts earlier, in that one I assumed you would buy 6 art and 4 inf.

                                    In any case, it looks like +1 tank Berlin -1 tank Moscow is the best strategy. Let's see if I am lucky and can get 1 out of 5... 🙂

                                        This is most likely a GG, the Allies can finish the job 🙂

                                          @victoryfirst do you have the final numbers for how well or bad the Germans did in this game? If not, I will do it - I'd hate to overcorrect. This seemed like a pretty good Allied win and so I want to make sure the dice show Germany at something like.... minus -7 ish..

                                            Well I have this:

                                            After Allied4
                                            Eastern Front: -32.5 / -21
                                            Atlantic/WA: -8.33 / +3
                                            Africa/Med: -5.06 / -14
                                            Total: -45.89 / -32

                                            I have not calculated the net pieces, however I can still do that if you want.
