In the victory conditions "subtract the Japanese losses from the
American" should be the other way around, I think. Say each side
loses 5 aircraft. That should be a Japanese win, difference of
0. If the US has 5 losses and the Japanese 7, this would be a
draw (Japanese losses - US losses = 2). If the Japanese lose 8
to the Americans' 5, the 8 - 5 = 3, US win.
We are counting by losses instead of VPs because one of those
Lightnings might get shot down and skew the calculation.
Subtracting losses works the other way round from subtracting
VPs.

You're correct on the victory calculation. I'll fix that. Good
catch.

Scenario: L11 All Day Permanent Red.
Version: v0.5.
Playtester: Scott Spencer(Solo).
Report: Veteran to P-38F, Experte to F4U-1. Allied vectors all
set two levels above the squadrons to allow them to climb to
gain an altitude advantage. Japanese veterans assigned one each
to the lead squadrons(with Experte) in the two top wings. P-38F
flight botched a bounce and lost one fighter and a straggler,
which encouraged the top wing to stick it out and fight. The
Corsairs joined in and five Zeros were lost in exchange for two
F4U-1s. The top Japanese wing and the F4U-1s and P-38Fs all
broke, an exchange the Japanese were glad to take. The Wildcat
wings rolled very poorly for tallies which allowed the Japanese
mid and bottom wings to initiate combats. Twelve Wildcats
downed for eight Zeros and one Zero squadron was able to exit
the map. The Japanese Experte were a big help in this fight.
Victory: Japanese 13 Losses less US 17 Losses(one P-38, two
F4U-1s, twelve F4F-4s, and one exiting Zero sqn) = -4 Japanese
victory. Felt like - Japanese victory
Recommendations: None. The Japanese had luck on their side at
a couple of critical junctures which made all the difference and
resulted in a optimum outcome. A bit better rolling by the US
would have made a big difference.

Cool. Do you think we are at Alpha with this one?

Great! Scott, do you think you could do two more plays of this
to calibrate the VP scores and get us to Beta?

Scenario: L11 All Day Permanent Red.
Version: v0.5.
Playtester: Scott Spencer(solo).
Report: Same set up as before Corsair vector roll failed and
it was dropped two levels. Tally rolling on both sides was
dreadful - I managed a streak of five '1' or '2' rolls in a row.
The P-38s and Corsairs managed to hit the top wing hard and
inflicted most of the Japanese losses before breaking. The two
other Japanese wings ended up in a large dogfight with both
Wildcat Wings. All four Wildcat squadrons broke, leaving one
disrupted Japanese squadron and one intact flight left. At this
point the score was ten Japanese losses to five American losses
and exiting the surviving Japanese would only net two more US
losses putting the final score at a plus three US victory, so
the Japanese had no choice but to pursue and hope they could
gain more kills. The pursuit ended with both Japanese breaking
after an even exchange of one loss each.
Victory: Japanese 11 Losses - US 6 Losses = +5 American Victory.
Felt Like American victory.
Recommendations: None for now, still another playthrough to go.

So far the test data, which includes a pro-Japanese blowout,
includes:
Japanese losses = 7 + 13 + 11 = 10.3
Japanese exit points = 5 + 2 + 0 = 2.3
American losses = 4 + 12 + 6 = 7.3
This gives us a mean result of 10.3 - 9.6 = +0.7. Rounding to 1
that suggests our victory levels are right in the zone. Let’s
see whether the next test shifts that at all.

Scenario: L11 All Day Permanent Red.
Version: v0.5.
Playtester: Scott Spencer(solo).
Report: I opted to put all the quality in the lower two Japanese
wings and use the top wing to tie up the Lightnings and Corsairs
thinking they might be able to maul the Wildcats. The top wing
did its job but the two bottom Japanese wings rolled poorly in
all facets. Ten Zeros lost in exchange for five Wildcats.
Victory: Ten Japanese losses - five American losses = +5 US
Victory. Felt like US victory. The Japanese could never get
anything going.
Recommendations: None. Japanese luck on my last two play
throughs has been below average. With normal rolls this would
be very tight.
