At one convention when I was GM in early 1990s playing 3R4 One of the 16 players rolled a 4-6 combination on Warsaw and lost 36 BRP like that and another 15 BRPs coming up for another East Front offensive = 51 BRP! He was hot! |
118 | 2/21/2021 4:56:00 PM | Turn 2 | Michael Mitchell | Message |
yes I sent the Q&A about this rule in because I had several people misread latching on the EX as if it were a CA EX instead of an attacker exchange and totally ignoring the requirement to lost equal to the defenders modified strength. In my past days I only played 3R4 and A3R for about 8 years, sent in lots of Q&A to get to 3R4 as the earlier versions were all but unplayable with large gaps in rules. |
117 | 2/21/2021 4:51:00 PM | Turn 2 | Michael Mitchell | Message |
I was one of the ones who wanted the change under the 3R4 rules a 4-6 was a total wipe out. being as you were attacking at 4 times the defenders strength to begin with a total elimination was too much especially as it usually involved air support and armor , this is still a kick in the teeth but you save half your force and can take the loses from the cheapest units. |

Latest logfile does not show additional infantry loss but I will send that in next update. |
114 | 2/21/2021 11:40:00 AM | Turn 2 | Mike Scott | Message |
Alright I guess I went a bridge too far on the exploitation. Okay, much simpler now. 3 armor units exploit into N25 and remain there. Will send corrected logfile. |
113 | 2/21/2021 11:26:00 AM | Turn 2 | Mike Scott | Message |
I find the "modified" thing in the rule to be unclear and subject to interpretation. So did whomever wrote the Qs and As. I found a Q&A in that file that takes the same position you do. So I will remove another infantry. Implying I should be happy I did not lose everything is a bit dubious. That result is a 3% probability event. And for a key roll like that one it is an utter disaster. Next to that consequence, you are right that 3 infantry factors are nothing. |
112 | 2/21/2021 10:03:00 AM | Turn 2 | Michael Mitchell | Message |
I still do mot understand your EXPLOITATION you marked the two armor which were involved in the attack on Brussels as exploiting the unit in L25 is 3 hexes away from another exploiting unit but the limit is two? |
111 | 2/21/2021 10:00:00 AM | Turn 2 | Michael Mitchell | Message |
The D result in Brussels was on a counterattack with the Belgian strength at 3, not doubled. All DMs are disregarded. I lose 3 factors. Yes and normally on a D result ALL the defenders would be removed but in this case you only remove as many as the MODIFEID strength of the original defender. MY Modified strength was 6. This is way better than losing all your attackers. |

106 | 2/20/2021 11:31:00 PM | Turn 2 | Mike Scott | Message |
You are right about the location of the exploit counter. I put it on the wrong hex. Resolved the overrun, fixed the exploit marker, and added support air to one potential exploit attack that I mistakenly left off. NOW hopefully okay. Sending new logfile now. |
