@SS-GEN said in AA1914 - Playing with Statistical Losses:
Ok. Low luck with a twist right ?
So how does the -10/+10 roll work ? say
A
6 inf = 15
3 art = 6
Total = 21 points
Then div 6 into 21 = 3.3
3 hits plus a 3 left or half hit.
How does the rest of this work ?
Hello!
If using the 1914 values ( 2 for Inf, 3 for Artillery and supported Inf), it gives this :
3 Inf x 2 = 6
3 Supported Inf x 3 = 9
3 Art x 3 = 9
(9+9+6) = 24
24 / 6 = 4 hits.
Roll for +/- 10%. We typically call for a minimum variance of one, so you would end up with between 3 and 5 kills.
We round the number before rolling, so in your case, 21 hit points divided by 6 gives 3.5, so we count 4 kills before rolling for +/-.
This makes for low luck games but that +/- 1 or 10% can be the difference sometimes between changing your strategy or staying with it without killing you on one bad roll.
I hope this helps you out. Enjoy!
