Well it appears my ruse worked! But really though I got lucky I got those 3 more hits.
New! Dice Roller is Installed
-
The next step will be something like this
:dice 4d6@1 3d6@4:but as you can see it does not work like this now
That would be awesome. I might have to start donating to this site…

Also if you almost get it right but not quite, this is what you’ll see …

Rolling 3d5 3dd dd3:
(3, 4, 5) (?) (?) -
Might need a ruling in my tournament game as a result of this change - I was not aware of it when I rolled my combat for Japan 1. I was pleased to see a high number of hits by my infantry and ACs (attacking at 1), but none of my fighters scored hits. Then I saw this update and realized what happened - went back and checked and sure enough all my dice were sorted. The way I roll :) is like this:
5 Inf 2 Ftr attacking @ 1,1,1,1,1,3,3
Rolling 7d6:
(2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 5, 5)As you can see, any ones got assigned to infantry, and my Ftrs would end up with 5s and 6s.
Didn’t notice it because they were all pretty small battles and I had no reason to think it had changed.
I don’t know if this helped or hurt me (Pearl went well, but China didn’t), the question is, should I re-roll my entire turn? Only noticed after the US already went.

Any dice rolls rolled today using the new system incorrectly should be re-rolled. Sorry. So, yes, you need to re-roll your attacks.
dice 5d6 2d6
Rolling 5d6 2d6:
(1, 2, 3, 5, 6) (3, 4) -
Already rerolled by agreement. Worked out well - killed one more sub and saved an AC, not bad for the ol’ bottom line.
It raises an interesting question - what kind of combination of units would benefit most from ordered dice? Let’s see, I guess you’d want to match what the dice would likely roll at, starting with 2’s - let’s say, 2 Inf 2 Art, 2 Arm 2 Ftr 2 Bom:
Total punch of 28, expect 4.66 hits? Yup, my sim confirms.

6 + 0 + 6 + 4+7+ 0+ 3+ 3+ 5+ 9
43 hits, or 4.3 - actually worse than expected. It does seem that this will make extreme results more likely.
Hmm - what would be the optimal combination? No matter what, your Boms become useless, unless you reverse the order, in which case your Inf/Art/Subs are useless.
This has inspired me to order the dice in my sim too, easier to visually confirm # of hits.
-
Oops, the two 0 results were actually 1 hits each.
-
The numbers are still generated randomly. All I do now is put them into an array and then sort the array. Nearly exactly the same.

dice 5d6 2d6
Rolling 5d6 2d6:
(1, 2, 3, 5, 6) (3, 4)Now another issue has arisen - my opponent has re-rolled his subsequent Russian battle, even though it was in no way affected by the Japan turn which I had to re-roll. The only difference was in SZ 41, which is a long way from Karelia, and in any event he declared the exact same combat.
Initially my two defending Inf in Karelia both hit as they died, and on the re-roll they both missed. Need a ruling - do ALL subsequent battles have to be re-rolled? I rather preferred the results of the first time he rolled the battle.
Switch?
-
Never mind, my opponent has agreed to use the original dice.

New Feature for the dice roller! Now you don’t need the d6 anymore. The default dice are now d6. The new syntax is as follows …
dice 3 2 1 1
