New! Dice Roller is Installed

  • Founder TripleA Admin

    Any dice rolls rolled today using the new system incorrectly should be re-rolled. Sorry. So, yes, you need to re-roll your attacks.

    Already rerolled by agreement. Worked out well - killed one more sub and saved an AC, not bad for the ol’ bottom line.

    It raises an interesting question - what kind of combination of units would benefit most from ordered dice? Let’s see, I guess you’d want to match what the dice would likely roll at, starting with 2’s - let’s say, 2 Inf 2 Art, 2 Arm 2 Ftr 2 Bom:

    Total punch of 28, expect 4.66 hits? Yup, my sim confirms.

    6 + 0 + 6 + 4+7+ 0+ 3+ 3+ 5+ 9

    43 hits, or 4.3 - actually worse than expected. It does seem that this will make extreme results more likely.

    Hmm - what would be the optimal combination? No matter what, your Boms become useless, unless you reverse the order, in which case your Inf/Art/Subs are useless.

    This has inspired me to order the dice in my sim too, easier to visually confirm # of hits.

  • 2007 AAR League

    Oops, the two 0 results were actually 1 hits each.

    The numbers are still generated randomly. All I do now is put them into an array and then sort the array. Nearly exactly the same.

    Now another issue has arisen - my opponent has re-rolled his subsequent Russian battle, even though it was in no way affected by the Japan turn which I had to re-roll. The only difference was in SZ 41, which is a long way from Karelia, and in any event he declared the exact same combat.

    Initially my two defending Inf in Karelia both hit as they died, and on the re-roll they both missed. Need a ruling - do ALL subsequent battles have to be re-rolled? I rather preferred the results of the first time he rolled the battle.

    Switch?

  • 2007 AAR League

    Never mind, my opponent has agreed to use the original dice.

    New Feature for the dice roller! Now you don’t need the d6 anymore. The default dice are now d6. The new syntax is as follows …

    dice 3 2 1 1
    DiceRolling 3 2 1 1:
    (1, 3, 3)  (2, 4)  (2)  (4)

    The old one still works …
    dice 4d12
    DiceRolling 4d12 4d12:
    (1, 2, 7, 11)  (2, 2, 5, 11)

    You can mix them but don’t do it.

    Sweet. Now uber-convenient!

    Wow - that’s a lot of infantry!

    Here’s another thot that would make the in-house roller a lot more user friendly - for each set of dice, just simply show a count, eg:

    (5@1 , 5@2 , 3@3 , 1@4)

    Dice: Rolling 5 5 3 1:
    5: (2, 2, 3, 4, 5) @2: 2 hits, @3: 3 hits, @4: 4 hits
    5: (1, 3, 3, 4, 4)  @1: 1 hit, @3: 3 hits, @4: 5 hits
    3: (3, 4, 6)  @3: 1 hit, @4: 2 hits
    1: (5) @5: 1 hit

    Note that 0 hit results have been omitted to keep it clean. That would be simpler to do than adding an “x@y” syntax to count hits (and would actually be an intermediate step, once you are counting the @ of hits then you just have to eliminate the values that were not asked for.)

    I ran some big battles with the in-house, and I was worried about having to re-roll because of counting the wrong number of 1s out of 40 Inf attacking…

    However, now that TripleA is advancing so nicely, I think that may become my weapon of choice for PBF.
