France '40 - 8,8 Hard Attack Value

[Strela]

Thanks but the problem is that the manual says:
"The attack value is multiplied by the strength in vehicles or guns of the firing unit,..."
So the attack value should be 39 * 16 and not again multiplied by 10.

Yes, I understand the problem.

The value displayed in the Combat Report is correct and that is what the game uses. It is not a bug and I can replicate these values every time. It is the manual that is incorrect. I asked for this to be fixed but was told that this issue was too trivial. Mind you, that was twenty years ago so perhaps it is time to ask again.

Actually, I did mention this in another thread not that long ago but it is not something that is of interest to most people as they use the On Map Results rather than the Combat Report. And in fairness it is the concept of 10 men = 1 vehicle/gun which is the key idea the manual is trying to convey.   

But if you doubt that I am correct, just try some different calculations and you will soon see that if you follow the manual your Combat Values will be out by a factor of 10 and so will the casualties.

Hope this helps.

If you can give me some examples, I will look at including them in the manual...

Better still, adjusted explanatory text.
