Bluetooth Connected Physical Dice on Hackaday

@lincolnhawk Chessex makes custom dice about $1 each, call them, before that make the template for 1,2,3 results. with a transport ship icon, etc. Their is a minimum # of dice that you need to buy, but you can resell those. They also sell the Axis and Allies dice sets, just ask, these are the premium ones with flags for 1 result

@pyrix137 Is anyone here playing Conquest of Nerath?
It is VERY Gamemaster Series-like so I guess a sizeable part of Axis and Allies players might like it.

I just bought this game…

@CWO-Marc said in Physically modifying 1942 2nd edition map.:

My pleasure. By the way, I wrote “acrylic” above but I’ve double-checked and the correct term is actually acetate sheets, a.k.a. projector transparencies; see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_(projection).

Thanks for letting me know. They’d probably give me a weird look if I asked for acrylic. 😆😆

I could help with financing?

Dice would have either land or naval with a separate category of Air because that branch overlaps both

Symbols for land: ( green) 6 dice in set
Infantry x 1
Armour x1
Mech x1
Artillery x2
Blank x1

Symbols for Naval: ( blue) 6 dice in set

Battleship x1
Cruiser x1
Destroyer x1
Submarine x2
Blank x1

Symbols for Air: (white) 6 dice in set

Fighter x2
Fighter-Bomber x2
Strategic Bomber x 2

@Mr_Tricorder:

Have tried them out yet? If so, how big of a difference do they make?

Yes.
It’s definitely faster.
And it removes irritating conversations like:
“3! Hit!”
“Wait! Didn’t you announce rolling for your destroyer?”
“Nope. I wanted the cruiser.”
“Hmm”

@SS:

Siredblood has a you tube video of drilling colored dice

I got my inspiration from that one and added the extra holes for 2,3 and 4.

AKA: Hit Dice… there are already many options like this out there, including different colored dice for which are 1-hit, 2-hit, 3-hit, etc… both IWNGU and Young Grasshopper offer Hit Dice as an alternative to the national battle dice.

Thanks you for the reply! E-mail sent to Chessex - looking forward to getting these.

No official news; might have to buy some blanks and customize myself.

Will pass on any new suggestions to the site.
