I suggest we play this game first with the normal navy prices and use the different system in our second game.
Russia is up 😀
New! Dice Roller is Installed

@ncscswitch:
If you try to edit a post with a dice roll in it, the roll goes away and all you get is the command line.
Which is a very nice feature, btw.

Agreed. Without it, it would be worthless for gaming.

How exactly do you use this thing?

@Imperious:
How exactly do you use this thing?
It is groovy. If you have a small battle and are a competent typist you can type the code :mice xdy: and a random number will be generated. Howevre you must use dice instead of mice. x is the number of dice you want to roll and y is the number of sides on the dice or the range for which you need a random number.

LOL, yep it was indeed my AD&D game heritage that went into thsoe dice attempts.
But alas, AD&D appears to be passe, so it did not work
But I was able to work out the pairings for the Tournament anyway :-D

I’ve been using this and actually liking it more than frood.net in some ways - the results are there and saved in the forum immediately, and you don’t have to have as many windows/tabs etc. Also, even pretty complicated battles can be done fairly easily, ex:

Rolling 21 6-sided dice:
2, 1, 2, 5, 4, 3, 6, 4, 2, 5, 6, 2, 2, 5, 2, 5, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2 -
The problem there is to distinguish what units are what… thus the multiple entries for various units.
-
That’s solved by declaring eg “5@1, 20@3, 1@4”, so you know that the first 5 have to be 1’s to hit, the rest all have to be 3 or lower except the very last one which could be a 4.
It would be nice if this gadget could be simplified, so that eg. you only had to type :5d6: to roll 5 dice
Also, it’s nice because you can’t cheat it, because the forum doesn’t let you post actual html code, eg:
Rolling 8 12-sided dice:
3, 10, 9, 6, 2, 10, 5, 3
