sz33: 4 US  planes on 2 ACs.

[Cow]

I believe my sub can defend against your sub.

[Cow]

It is highly worth the risk of 6 ipc for a chance to destroy 20 ipc worth of units. I will be rolling it out on the forum right now.

First to hit wins. Hit on same sequence mutual destruction.

[Cow]

Are these rolls random? or not lol

[Cow]

@_@  I typed dice 20d6 and put it between two colons.

[Me1945]

I have one edit for UK NCM. UK DD moves to sz 109, not 125. Let me know, if you believe it is late after your sz6 rolls.

[Me1945]

@Cow:

I believe my sub can defend against your sub.

I actually disagree with this.

[Cow]

Subs can defend against transports unloading. Pretty common method to defend london.

You can edit the losses on Russia. I attacked it with Italy got 2 hits. If you want to drop aa gun instead. your call really.

[Me1945]

You forgot 1PU to add to US bank - Convoy Blockade Damage in 6

[Cow]

You can do that. Forgot about that lol.

Is this dice really random?

[Cow]

Dude these dice are not random, it always starts out with 1s.

How do we get random dice? I need to roll out that battle on sz 6.

[Cow]

All the initial rolls are 1s followed by 2 3 4 5 6…. it is really not random to know my first roll is a hit!

Rolling 20d6:
(1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6)

[Cow]

ah I have to do it in smaller increments.

here we go

Rolling 2d6:

japan

Rolling 2d6:
(1, 6)  
usa

[Cow]

Ah you got it. :D

[Cow]

Still I do not really trust these forum dice as being random.  There are some pretty obvious patterns to them.

The first roll will always be low, which is stupid. Especially for infantry vs infantry or sub vs sub battles.

look at it

:roll 2d6:

[Cow]

Rolling 2d6:

am I doin something wrong? Replace roll with dice and that is what I type.

[Cow]

You can see the first dice is always lower than the second dice. It is so stupid.
