    Wow - that’s a lot of infantry!

  • 2007 AAR League

    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.

  • 2007 AAR League

    That last example is way too complicated - but what if you simply inserted inline counts. Eg. suppose you rolled:

    1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,5,5,5,6,6

    Just change this to:

    1,1,1**[3@1], 2,2[5@2],3,3,3,3 [9@3],4,4,[11@4]5,5,5[14@5],6,6[18@6]**

    Then if you were rolling@3, you just quickly look at the bracketed value to see how many hits.

    This feature could just kick in if there are 10 or more dice, because less than that it is easy to count. But when you roll for 36 tanks 6 Ftrs attacking your eyes go buggy trying to count everything under 4.


  • Umm… this may seem dumb, however…where do I fine this in-site dicey program?

  • 2007 AAR League

    Just type, surrounded by colons:

    dice x y z

    Will roll three sets of dice. Each set will be sorted low to high.

    Or you can just do dice x,  or if you want other than 6-sided dice you can do dice xda, eg. dice 1d12 or dice 3d4

    Substitute the semicolons for colons

    ;dice 3 2 1;

    Gives you

    DiceRolling 3 2 1:
    (3, 4, 5)  (3, 3)  (3)


  • ;dice 3 2 1;

    Clearly, I don’t get it.

  • 2007 AAR League

    Almost. Just use colons instead.

    We should maybe have a locked thread with a how-to on this - every two pages someone else asks how to use it, and it starts all over…

    Sorry, I did not read the entire thread.

    Thanks for the response, Frood.
