NO LUCK

[newpaintbrush]

Yeah, well, that pretty much says it.  NO LUCK.

Whenever you have a battle, you add up each of the different types of attacks, just like low luck.  The difference is, you keep the leftovers between battles.

No hits are inflicted until a total of 6 is reached.

Example:  I attack with 10 infantry against 3 tanks.

Round 1:  I have total attack value of 10 (10 infantry attacking at 1).  Total defense value is 9 (3 tanks defending at 3).  So I get 1 hit, and the defender gets 1 hit.  However, the remainder is NOT rolled, but saved for the next round.

Round 2:  I now have 9 infantry attacking 2 tanks.  My total attack is 9; the total defense is 6.  HOWEVER, we add the leftovers from the last round, so my total attack becomes 9 + 4, while the total defense becomes 6 + 3.  That makes for 13 and 9 respectively.  I get 2 hits, the defender still gets 1 hit.

Round 3:  I have 8 infantry, the defender has nothing.  Yey.

Obviously antiaircraft guns become totally useless because you can attack with up to 5 planes, and nothing will ever get shot down (the AA gun total never reaches 6 or more since it only fires once).

So the solution is to keep a running total for AA guns not just between combats, but for the WHOLE GAME, and knock off a fighter (or a bomber) whenever the total hits 3.

Same thing for battleships.

I don’t say it’s great, or even statistically accurate.  But I figure, people want to play without dice, sure, why not.  Give 'em wat they want.

Your comments are welcome.  YES U!

I believe No Luck rules, which are already created, have you round the remainder.  4, 5, 6 you get another hit.  1, 2, 3 you miss.

I never quite understood no luck, so I assume that if you send an inf vs an inf the battle would never end? Similarly if you send a sub vs a transport, you could never win?

How does this system handle AA gun rolls?

Ok another idea…

Get copy of Hungry Hungry Hippos add all pieces involved in combat in the middle and every one you eat is a combat loss. People press the bottoms for 2 seconds and battle is over. See no luck and much fun?

I like Jennifer’s idea of rounding up but with a twist.

The axis need not bid, however they get a +1 on all round ups, so a 2 becomes a three which becomes a hit.

its like a national advantage sort of.

AA Guns are like normal defenders.

Total Fighters / 6 if the remainder is 1, 2 or 3 you miss the remainder, otherwise you get another hit for 4, 5 and 6

Do the same for bombers, though, if you are being attacked by more then 6 bombers, it’s pretty safe to assume you’re already screwed.

Only difference would be SBR since it is gun on bomber, you just roll that normally.
