I think that's the approach I would follow - go with the rules as written and use the randomness to stoke discussions in the bar after the battle! Plus if you go with the rules as is, then it's the writer's fault. If you go with a a home brew fix it's your fault!<br /><br />Cheers, and enjoying your blog.<br /><br />PDPeter Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118894381672707297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027967472722424011.post-79630106599631059952012-01-07T15:41:37.908-05:002012-01-07T15:41:37.908-05:00I'm not in a position to argue the accuracy of...I'm not in a position to argue the accuracy of the statistical calculations with you as I'm a lowly computer scientist. I will say that my friend, is actually a co-worker with a PHD in mathematics and provides consulting services for the nuclear physicists at the University I work for.

What if the Blue force uses two "A" dice and the Red force two "B" dice?<br /><br />Also I'm not sure I buy your freinds statistics. BY my math Case 1 if as much as 36% off the normal curve for the outcomes 1 and 10!<br /><br />But this is a great conversation trail. Nothing gets a gamers blood up like dice.<br />Cheers,<br />PDPeter Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118894381672707297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027967472722424011.post-6235278234265211762012-01-06T08:22:18.736-05:002012-01-06T08:22:18.736-05:00You diamond... :o)You diamond... :o)Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027967472722424011.post-56974864229041842102012-01-05T20:55:03.992-05:002012-01-05T20:55:03.992-05:00Food for thought> Thanks Allan.Food for thought> Thanks Allan.Rodgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447816347472085277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027967472722424011.post-89630948720544912572012-01-05T18:28:17.542-05:002012-01-05T18:28:17.542-05:00Very interesting ideas, thanks!!Very interesting ideas, thanks!!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.com
