H.J. von Arnim Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 So, here it goes: When playing via the "Hotseat" option as axis I saw this: My opponent bought a new russian corps and placed it near Stalingrad. I attacked this new corps (strength 12) with a HQ, 2 tanks, 2 airfleets and 2 corpses (all german) and was not able to even reduce his strength. All my troops had already experience but nevertheless lost strength. This seems really weird to me..... Explanations ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konstantin V. Kotelnikov Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Did his corps have time to entrench? If so then you may have only taken down his entrenchment value. Were your units full strength and in good supply? In russia because of the poor axis supply you need to string HQ's. Otherwise even with one HQ nearby they can have poor readiness. Just a couple of possible explanations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.J. von Arnim Posted March 17, 2003 Author Share Posted March 17, 2003 No, his corps had no time to entrech as it was just bought and placed right before my attack.... And yes: My troops were in good condition before this attack - not afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka of Carthage Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 This Russian Corp would have had at least a one (1) entrenchment. That would account for one of the air attacks. The second air attack (since you don't mention anything about enemy air) had to be bad luck, hence no damage. Two Corp attacks are probaby related to terrain (ie you attacking from a river hex) and/or bad luck. Two Panzer attacks... his anti-tank value is two, and if your Panzers are still tech level 0, thats a 5:2 attack ratio. If you hit him from a river hex, your attack values would be halved. This and again, the possiblity of bad random factors, may account for no damage to the enemy unit. Even though you mentioned you had a HQ unit, I would still presume that your readiness factors on your units was low, or perhaps those units were not being supported by that HQ at all.

H.J. von Arnim Posted March 18, 2003 Author Share Posted March 18, 2003 Thanks to all of you for your comments Maybe is was really just "bad luck" which is not that important anymore since I've won the war.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
