      T -->. "But I had more planes, more tanks, two Tank Armies against your one also. "

      And I thought two tank armies are not allowed to each function in the same battery territory.???????

      Am I mistaken?

        @johnnycat My arithmetic solution is stunningly easy enough for a kindergarten student to understand. 4 tanks attacking each with factor of 3. So 4*3=12 right class? Then divide by six = two. So 4 tanks will average two hits. It ain’t more complicated than that 👍

          @johnnycat Only one Tank Army active but the inactive one still had 5 tanks inside it right?

              You sir are a genius if you can look at this 58 units attacking those 55 units and factor in the extra rolls and such.

              I am impressed.

                so I removed the 7 LMs from the Slovak attack and the odds go to 53% SSR

                a coin flip but obviously greater than 18% 🙂

                Edit
                also triplea will count the AG Flag as a hit too. I will remove 1 Inf to represent that. It won't be 100% accurate but gets you a little closer.

                Up to 61% now

                Screenshot from 2026-02-18 22-17-20.png

                Edit 2
                If you wanna go more in depth and some people do in the League at the other site, there are some online battle calcs that are discussed over there.

                It's not for me as triplea gets it close enough for what I do, but as you can see in the above, 1 dude can make a big difference in odds.

                I've always just been kind of look at it and go and if not sure check the calc. Which has prevented me from doing some ill advised attacks 🙂

                Edit 3
                you can also click on ctrl-b for the TTy that is being attacked before any movement and then ctrl-a on the TTy it comes from and it will auto add those dudes to the calc.

                Still might need to tweak it a bit and I've never tried to add from multiple TTys but it's pretty handy as opposed to doing it by hand or playing the turn out

                Edit 4
                Also for LMs or NMs that don't have a specific unit for which border they are armed on, you should use the Comment Log saying which one they are at so it is easier to look up.

                I mention it in the game thread as well as putting it in the Log. But the Log is more important. Scrolling back through a game thread isn't as efficient if you don't remember what they are armed against.

                It's also why I suggest using the color pattern in Game Notes.

                Obviously doesn't matter at the end of the day, but it makes things more informative and hopefully easier to use.

                  Good night gents.

                  I wish to DEEPLY THANK YOU, I’m certainly a difficult genius as my ex told me.

                  But I truly feel all these interruptions truly worth it !!!!

                  So let’s think on what to do and why this means so much to me… and to you I’d guess.

                  I recommend you start with a redo of UK 8 when the uk was planning a blow up show. But your call 🙏🤣😎🫡🙀🙀🙀

                    just heard back from the Captain and yea you can go Undrg and upgrade to Hvy in same turn. That's when you have to do the edit.

                    You buy the Undrg and Hvy Undrg and edit in a Undrg so the Hvy Unrg can upgrade it and the Undrg upgrades the existing Fctry.

                    Then remove the Undrg Fctry so you are left with just the Undrg Hvy

                      @johnnycat I agree to your proposal. Remember for redoing Slovakia, you have to account for any air or fast movers that can join an attack like paratroopers/tanks/guard infantry in addition to what is in E. Poland. That may be what part of the issue was.

                        @trout Could be that missed some and I’m looking closely at that battle again today

                        But if the TripleA battle computer doesn't work then I can do it easily bought hand. I’ve just never thought to do thinking that the battle simulator knew what to do.

                        In previous game all the battles were simple. And for the most part the Winner had more units than the loser

                        Is there a new way to view these battles with army groups ? Does it mean you can more easily defeat a group Of many more units?

                          @johnnycat Bottom-line experience will teach you all things. After a few games you will get the hang of it. Recommend when you do the Takeover, you do it how TripleA has it set up.

                          So basically clear all of the Italy units out of Africa and place the “Takeover” Token in S. Italy on second phase placement. Can’t put any Italy navy in the Atlantic either but you already know that

                            Thank you again for this opportunity to keep learning !

                            Another bit of news is that my fiancé emailed me this morning - first in 4 weeks so maybe that is good news too.

                            QUESTIONS that still remain.

                            1. I see how Italy does the take over thing. WHEW much easier.

                            2. Can I make a heavy industry of a 3 smoke stack factory ? I see only heavy underground factory upgrades for Italy.

                            I have been trying to understand what options that Slovakia zone has in terms of making units there quickly to respond to the threat. Is there any?

                              @johnnycat G can choo choo two units every turn and after takeover that becomes 3. That is the only thing additional to the normal stuff. Cannot build factory and plop units there in same turn

                                @johnnycat Yes you can upgrade the S. Italy factory so that you can place 4 instead of 3. The factories in Greece and Yugo can’t be upgraded

                                  @trout "Cannot build factory and plop units there same turn"
                                  Got it - except for the exception.

                                  And I am not trying to be difficult. But we can build a heavy industry upgrade and then plop additional units same turn.

                                  Exceptions to that exception, however, are we cannot put a heavy industry where a factory did not originally start.

                                  I mention this more for me to be sure that I am learning this stuff.

                                  This entire time I was thinking I could build a heavy industry in Slovakia but that is simply not ever allowed because heavies can only be built where a factory started the game.

                                  I will have Italy done in a few minutes

                                    Incredibly more easy this way!

                                    Edit - the Italians that went to Malta did not change to German... so I used the editor.

                                    Seems like the RR token disappeared as well.

                                      OTHER ISSUES that may just be intended for us to fix:

                                      Based on the rules we need to do the following - so Germany is missing those IPUs and I guess should be added manually ??

                                      Follow this procedure:
                                       Germany pays 5 IPC to the bank
                                       Italian units are replaced by German units
                                       Germany collects all Italian IPC
                                       Germany begins Repair & Purchase Units
                                      Place a German national control marker in each
                                      territory that is controlled by Italy.
                                      Also, place a German national control marker in
                                      all original Italian territories – even if these
                                      territories are controlled by The Allies – in order to
                                      reflect that they are now “original” German
                                      territories.
                                      Correct the IPC level in favour of Germany and
                                      remove the Italian national control marker from
                                      the Expanded National Production Chart.

                                        @johnnycat That's the process for the board game. For Triple A, it will do everything automatically except for adjusting the IPC levels. On your G9 turn, you will get a message that asks you if you want to pay 5 IPCs for the takeover. Click on that box and then all territories and units will automatically become Nazi.

                                          Looks like you used Edit to change Italian territories and units to
                                          Germans which resulted in getting 0 lira. Just adjust it accurately before you start your G turn. In the future, you don't have to edit anything, Triple A will do the changes automatically on the G turn after the 5 IPCs are paid for the Takeover.

                                            ok but the game did NOT increase the IPU for Germany - it removed the 5 but did not get the credit and the rules state that they should get them for use this turn.

                                            so add this? or ?
