formula's results

Recommended Posts

I have a question about the results of the formula to calculate the defender losses.

With a UK airplane in maginot line, acting as interdiction (so as a defender), it has been affected of 4 points of loss due to a German direct air attack to a corp in Bruxelles. With 4 points as defensive bonus, the loss should have been MAX 1 point, even with a 100% of the attacker's readiness.

What am I missing?

thanks for your help.

Hi Flu

If I've understood correctly, a British airfleet has lost 4 points while intercepting a German Airfleet, rather than 1 point as you thought?

The thing is that in air battles when attacks are intercepted the British Airfleet won't receive any bonus from the Maginot line. The Maginot line would only give it a bonus if the Germans attacked the British Airfleet there directly. I hope this makes sense?

Thanks a lot Bill101.

You've understood correctly, it makes sense to explain the losses.

The same for entrenchment points? This is just for Maginot or is the same for airplanes in the cities (bonus 1 point)?

However as this airplane acts like a defender should have all these kinds of bonuses.

Do the table of defence bonuses refer to the type of defender or to the type of attacker?

example: a tank in the mountains as a defender, will receive 4 points or 2 if attacked by a corp?

Hi Flu

It's the same everywhere, because if an Airfleet is fighting in the air then it doesn't benefit from any entrenchment or defensive bonuses from the hex it is in.

However, if it is attacked directly, e.g. by a Tank Group, then it will benefit from the defensive bonuses of the terrain.

The bonuses in the table do refer to the defender, so the defender benefits by these factors.

Ok, the defender benefits these bonuses, so an airplane in the maginot line benefits 4 bonuses whatever is the type of its direct attacker, an Air or a Tank or a Corp. Is it right?

just two other questions.

When you attack across a river the strength is half, does it mean that the target values are half?

Ports have a Air Def bonus of 2, but how can an airplane enjoy that if the unit cannot be in an exagon of a port? just ship can.

thanks for your help.

Just to know if I have well understood.

'Within the ports' means all the units in the Hex around the port. Is it right?

Do the def bonuses depend on the kind of the attacker or on the kind of the defennder? It's clear the benefit is for the defender.

Reading your sentence abaout the def bonusese for ports, it depends on the kind of attacker, it must be an airplane whoever is the defender around a port.

thanks

Hi Flu

Within the port literally does mean within the port, so units next to the port do not benefit.

You're right in saying that the factors refer to the attacking unit type, so for example an air defense bonus of 2 gives a unit in the resource a bonus of 2 when attacked by air.

The port is a sea tile, which is why the airfleet can't occupy that hex, and because of that the airfleet won't benefit from any bonuses from the port.

However, if the airfleet is in a city it will benefit from any bonuses the city provides, including supply, and as a result it can be a good idea to put your air units in cities - unless of course they are in the front line!

to summarize:

- just naval units can benefit from Air Def bonusus of Ports

- for example an airplane in the fortification receives a def bonus of 2 in case of an attack from a corp and of 4 in case of an air attack or tank attack

is it right?

another question:

in case of a blitz attack, the supply of the attacker is it calculated according to the hex of start or arrival?

thanks
