Varn H (allies) vs. *your-name-here* (axis): Spring 1942

[MrMalachiCrunch]

Combat Round 2

VERY close to what the statistics would say, as one would expect with such large numbers.

Odds say I should do about 27.5 hits and you should do about 17.5 hits, let’s see what Dicey has in store for us!

Rolls: 51@3 3@4; Total Hits: 3451@3: (6, 5, 3, 5, 3, 4, 6, 3, 5, 1, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 4, 1, 3, 1, 1, 5, 1, 5, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 1, 6, 1, 2, 4, 3, 3, 5, 3, 4, 1, 6, 2, 5)3@4: (3, 3, 2)

Combat Round 3

Well, we both scored about 20% above average, 20% for you is exactly 21 hits, 20% above for me is 33 hits so I had slightly better luck!

Rolls: 30@3 3@4; Total Hits: 1730@3: (6, 4, 1, 6, 5, 4, 5, 5, 2, 6, 3, 3, 1, 2, 2, 3, 1, 6, 3, 1, 4, 5, 3, 1, 4, 2, 3, 6, 6, 4)3@4: (1, 6, 1)
