This is a program I made for calculating the odds for battles in Axis and Allies 1940. It follows the combat rules for the game and counts the average probability of victory/defeat including IPC values lost. This program is released under the GPL.

Features:
- Land and naval battles
- Coastal bombardments from Cruisers and Battleships

- Follows combat rules from Axis and Allies 1940 (Europe and Pacific) such as:
- Regular land battle rules (dice rolling)
- Order of taking casualties
- Submarine first strike and can be negated by Destroyer
- Planes cannot hit Submarines unless the planes are accompanied by a Destroyer
- Artillery-supported Infantry and Mechanized Infantry
- Fighter-supported Tactical Bombers

- Statistics for:
- Attacker/defender win/loss/tie percentages

Hi,
I downloaded your files, yet can not figure out how to get them to work. I unzip them and just get a folder full of java files and another with a manifest.mf file in it.
How do I use this absolutely fabulous tool?
thanks

Hi James,
You may have downloaded the source files and not the executable. Try this link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/aa40battlecalc/files/Battle%20Calculator%20Binary/v0.9/BattleCalculator-v0.9.jar/download

Oh woops, my mistake. You downloaded the right files, but you need to install Java first. You can get that here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
