ah I have to do it in smaller increments.

here we go

Rolling 2d6:
(2, 5)  
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:

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.

[Me1945]

I still think you can’t defense and suggest you to post the question in the right thread.

[Cow]

I wish I knew before I started rolling in the forum.

For future battles, I would like to asked, because I do not want to roll anything in the forum anymore. This should have been asked because it is a minimal risk with high reward potential.

Yes you can defend. Subs do defend against transports offloading stuff!

[Cow]

We will just play it your way and just keep the stupid subs. We cannot get a random dice roll on the forum anyway.

[Cow]

Statistically speaking it makes sense to duke it out. 63%~ chance you win and I lose 6 tuv. 13% draw 24% Japan win with +20 tuv.

Of course if the forum dice are not exactly random…. kind of screws this math up. lol.

[Cow]

Ah I see if you want random dice you have to use aaa

Rolls: 10@1; Total Hits: 210@1: (6, 5, 3, 1, 3, 1, 5, 5, 5, 2)
japan

Rolls: 10@1; Total Hits: 210@1: (6, 4, 4, 5, 2, 3, 5, 1, 1, 3)
usa

[Cow]

I understand how to roll dice on the forum now. aaa 10@1 is what I used there. Basically number of dice you want to roll @ what it hits at. aaa stands for axis and allies, I guess it is intuitive enough.

[Cow]

If you use dice 1d6 and roll it out one by one, it is random.

If you do dice 2+d6, it places the lowest rolls first before the higher rolls.

Might not matter anyway, I am going to attack belarus like a madman.  I need to win that battle to make it easier to take Russia, because after that there is like jack squat.

[Me1945]

@Cow:

I believe my sub can defend against your sub.

You can defend, if my sub attacks you. But I ignored your sub.

Rules:
Amphibious Assault Example:  . . . If there had been only defending submarines
and/or transports, the attacking U.S. player could have
ignored those units, or could have conducted sea combat.

Enemy submarines and/or transports do not block any
of your units’ movement, nor do they prevent loading
or offloading in that sea zone (with one exception; see
“Special Combat Movement: Transports,” page 16). As
the moving player, you have the option of attacking any
enemy submarines and/or transports that share a sea
zone with you.

Special Combat Movement: Transports. . . . a transport
is not allowed to offload land units for an amphibious
assault in a sea zone containing 1 or more ignored enemy
submarines unless at least 1 warship belonging to the
attacking power is also present in the sea zone at the end
of the Combat Move phase.

[JDOW]

@Cow:

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

ROFL

[JDOW]

And regarding sub defending:

If attacker brings a sub in, the attacking forces can ignore the sub and do the amphibious assault.
Same if DD is present. You can always ignore lone subs (e.g. if you want to conduct shore bombardment instead)

[Cow]

ok
