RE: Troubled ferrying infantry ... - burroughs - 01-23-2012 Thank You very much again and as usual: glory to the community. Wargaming community, of course. And here's something to the Wehrmacht 19th Panzer Division and assorted nazi scum; here we come, guards lead the way (NKVD commissars walk tail ...  )

Let's say 10 turns, I think it might be that for Korsun. Then after the 10 turns, a check is made each turn based on the normal percentage odds, again set in the PDT, as with bridging a hexside river. Quality and size adjust this percentage chance, I believe. All in the manual for full details, jonny. The reason I'm asking is because in rubble clearing an E unit may work for days to no avail. The time spent doesn't seem to have anything to do with any result; the dice roll is the same all the time apparently. Size is supposed to matter in bridge building but I find that when I break the E unit down to companies the bridge seems to be built so much faster. Is that an illusion? jonny:whis:

War gaming community, of course.Last point to note (that may be stating the obvious) is that a disrupted engineer cannot perform any function until it is back in good order.

Is that an illusion? jonny:whis:Well because everything is random you cannot know if you have just been lucky with building a bridge or not, it would take a test of maybe fifty bridging attempts by a company vs. a battalion to remove luck/chance and prove this for sure.

Is that an illusion? jonny:whis: When you have multiple units trying to build, you get multiple dice rolls for completion (each at a lower overall chance, it is true) instead of just one. And as all tabletop and board gamers know: He who rolls the most dice wins (even when the dice are virtual) :band of brothers: |
