flip Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 This has happened to me twice now....I invade norway with 1 army and 1 corps (brits one time, nazi's another time) on turn 4. I hit the beaches with my corps first, then the army. I attack first with the army- do 2 damage. Then the corps hits with 1 damage and kills the unit. But then I can't occupy the capital. And then of course the weather goes bad on turn 5. Is this typical? I thought the army would normally do 3 damage, thereby letting my corps move in (it says 3 on the odds). Am I just getting bad luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZGungHo Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 It's happened to me any number of times - so it seems pretty normal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arado234 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Your just getting VERY unlucky.With your brits you could have your carriers nearby to help attack unless the weather craps out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konigs Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Try landing with Army first, attack, then land with corp and attack next, then advance into Oslo for a quick victory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foko Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 This happens when the army moves trough storm when transporting -> lower readiness -> lower attack value So never move the army through storm, stand her always at the coast. For GB put a ship in the Edinbourgh when amphip the BEF for Norway, so it can reach next turn the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 As foko said: Don´t move your army transport through a storm (move from coast to coast), then this can´t happen cause the army will have expected losses of 4, the corps has only strength 3 which means success probability to conquer Norway in one turn is 100% .

Am I just getting bad luck? Everything else being equal, there is a 50% chance that damage will deviate one point more or less. You had bad luck. I know this, because I did a minor statistics paper finding it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Bad luck my @ss, the defenders put up fierce resistance. :cool: Now tell me that's not normal or at least a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flip Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Ok thx! I would have never figured that out - I normally just move my transports via the shortest route. So I just need to hug the coast as much as possible. That is an excellent suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Yeah, the longer that your Transports/Amphibious Units are sea, the more Supply they lose, storms increase the effects of their combat modifiers shrinking. That is why you usually want to launch in good weather or along coastlines Also poor weather, poor supply has to do with the damage a landing Amphib takes!!! SO becareful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
