What type of dice do you play with?


  • Standard rolls only. (and apparently the question wasn’t as clear as you thought with everyone talking about the type of actual dice being used instead of the dice rolling system used.  But on that topic, FMG Combat dice 100% of the time! :P)


  • Where is the option for “wieghted?”


  • weighted?  LOL!  how do I get a set of those for online play? :lol:

    :-D

    I only play LL or dice.

    If no luck is what I think it is… I am not dealing with fractions and remainders… hell I tried EXTREME LOW LUCK once… just once… the math gets irritating after awhile.

    Whats great with medium luck though is… say you NEED to get more than your “statistical” 2 hits + 1 dice at 2 for a max of 3 hits…

    You ROLL,  and BOOM you get 2 hits with your inf/art, and then 2 hits with your 3 tanks!  AAAARRRG!  Eat that England.

    @mantlefan:

    Lowluck (for the person who asked) is where you add up the combat value of units on each side of a battle in each round, divide by 6 (and that’s how many hits you get), and roll one die for the remainder determining whether or not to add one more hit.

    For example,

    6 Artillery are attacking 4 tanks for some reason

    Attacker
    6 Art, each has Attack value of 2.
    6x2=12
    12/6=2

    So the attacker does 2 hits, no rolling necessary.

    The defender has 4 tanks.
    4 tanks, each defends at 3
    4x3=12
    12/6=2

    So the attacker does 2 hits.

    So what happens when the total is not easily divisible by 6
    For example,

    Attacker has
    2 inf, 1 art, 3 tanks.

    1 inf: 1
    1 inf with artillery support: 2
    1 Art: 2
    3 tanks: 9 (3x3)

    1+2+2+9=14

    14/6 =2, with a remainder of 2.
    So gets 2 automatic hits, plus they roll one die at 2 to try to get a third hit.

    Thanks for the explanation.
