The same shop also has a German version if you want to look into it.
Unit Dice
-
So we’ve read and seen that this game will come with “lots of dice,” and we’ve read how dice are used as proxy for units on the battle board. I’m wondering if the dice will have some sort of distinguishing feature for what unit type they represent, like having a symbol on the die instead of the “1” face (inf, tank, fighter, etc.).
If not, this seems like a great opportunity for FMG or HBG to make some sweet custom unit dice.
-
I was surprised that you get so many dice even though combat lasts only one round.
-
How many dice are we getting?>
And where does it talk about dice as proxy units?
-
-
They’re basic black d6.
I would think that custom dice could be per value, that is you have so many at “1”, which just have 1 hit symbol and 5 blank sides, so many at “2” and so on, with each value dice a different colour.
Then you could roll all the dice per side simultaneously and instantly see how many hits you’ve scored.

good idea

I don’t know about you guys… but I can read the pips on the dice just fine? and “Instantly”…
-
Why not save time?
I want to count hits, not pips.
-
Actually I would find it MUCH more time consuming to double check the dice I was about to roll had 4 or 5 blank sides. than I would just rolling a dice and reading the hits…
I don’t know how long it takes you to read one . as opposed to … or … but I don’t imagine there’s much time to be saved?
-
The dice would come in 4 colours, so you could INSTANTLY pick out those you need, then roll them all together and INSTANTLY see how many hits are scored.
This should speed up the dice rolling process by approximately 75%.
-
LOL how long do you spend rolling dice?
I already use different colored dice for different units, and I -can- when I so choose, roll them all at once “and instantly see” how many hits I have.
I’m sorry, but I’m just not understanding the advantage you’re selling here.
Maybe if the dice were in Chinese as opposed to dots… lol
-
You know what, the more I think about it…
Maybe some better PERSCRIPTION GLASSES would speed up your dice rolling process?
Don’t know if that ever crossed your mind? ;)
-
While you’re still counting up pips I’m already placing my new units.
-
LOL, looking at the dice, you INSTANTLY know whats a hit and whats not… I don’t see how it takes long to “read”
Whether the symbol is a X, or a Y, or Blue, or HIT, or 6 pips, it reads just as fast.
-
It was the PIPS that triggered to war!
-
I agree it might be a bit of a time savings, but I kind of like seeing “almost” hits…like a few 3’s when I need 2’s.
I know, I know, statistically it wasn’t “almost” anything…a 3 in that case is just as bad as a 6. I just like the idea that my guys almost held out.

Flashman wants to ‘rob’ you of that experience!
Get the Pitchforks! Get the Torches!!

Why don’t you pip counters all go away and play Yahtzee?
