Help for my dog

@aardvarkpepper Now that you and Marc have talked through so many different aspects that I wasn’t even considering, I must admit, doing the tournament this way wasn’t necessary, and it’s far from being fool-proof. It’ll work, but as you guys pointed out, it doesn’t account for some variables or human choice.

But, my motivation (aside from having fun with everybody that’ll play) is definitely to research how biased the game might be. I’m concerned that there might be significant advantages or disadvantages to certain colors, and if there are, I hope to spot them and make adjustments. I’m thinking that the setup is already pretty well balanced, but I want to put everything to the test, because we’re not sure yet.

I really haven’t given much thought to any of the legal or marketing aspects of actually selling a game, so I’m glad you brought that up as well for me to seriously think about. And make no mistake, I appreciate every argument you’ve given. The mathematical relationships you discussed are part of what made solving this so easy. Your advice is always welcome and helpful.

If I ever think about hosting another tournament or convincing someone to accept the wacky house rules and games we come up with, I’ll be sure to read this thread again. But right now it looks like I’m ready to organize a tournament! So until we meet again, take care gentleman.

There is still some fight to go for anyone who can pitch in!

This might be late, but I feel like I could contribute.

If you don’t want to reroll the question is simple. The question is: “Which result was rolled by which unit?”. There are several ways of doing this I will first describe the simple and then the longer (Which will give the same result).

Simple: Since most of the result where misses, they are not interesting, the only question is where to assing the 3. There is 1 in 4 units that could have been the unit rolling a 3, terefore it is 1 in 4 chance that unit was the artillery.

Longer:
In basic uniform probability, we first start with the assumption that every result is equally likely. Every string of lottery numbers have the same odds. all we have to do then is to count the number of outcomes we like, and compare that to the number of possible outcomes when assigning the results. I will call your units I1, I2, I3 and A. There will be 24 ways of assinging the dies, and 6 of them will assign the 3 to the art. The ways of assigning them are:

A: 3 I1: 6 I2:8 I3:9  = 1 Hit
A: 3 I1: 6 I2:9 I3:8  = 1 Hit
A: 3 I1: 8 I2:6 I3:9  = 1 Hit
A: 3 I1: 8 I2:9 I3:6  = 1 Hit
A: 3 I1: 9 I2:6 I3:8  = 1 Hit
A: 3 I1: 9 I2:8 I3:6  = 1 Hit

A: 6 I1: 3 I2:8 I3:9  = 0 Hit
A: 6 I1: 3 I2:9 I3:8  = 0 Hit
A: 6 I1: 8 I2:3 I3:9  = 0 Hit
A: 6 I1: 8 I2:9 I3:3  = 0 Hit
A: 6 I1: 9 I2:3 I3:8  = 0 Hit
A: 6 I1: 9 I2:8 I3:3  = 0 Hit

A: 8 I1: 3 I2:6 I3:9  = 0 Hit
A: 8 I1: 3 I2:9 I3:6  = 0 Hit
A: 8 I1: 6 I2:3 I3:9  = 0 Hit
A: 8 I1: 6 I2:9 I3:3  = 0 Hit
A: 8 I1: 9 I2:3 I3:6  = 0 Hit
A: 8 I1: 9 I2:6 I3:3  = 0 Hit

A: 9 I1: 3 I2:6 I3:8  = 0 Hit
A: 9 I1: 3 I2:8 I3:6  = 0 Hit
A: 9 I1: 6 I2:8 I3:9  = 0 Hit
A: 9 I1: 6 I2:9 I3:8  = 0 Hit
A: 9 I1: 8 I2:6 I3:3  = 0 Hit
A: 9 I1: 8 I2:3 I3:6  = 0 Hit

In total. That is 6 possible hits, of 24 possible scenarios. Which is 1 in 4.

On the 5th November 1854 a  smaller British and (yes) French army beat off an assault by the Russians at Inkerman in the Crimea. It was known as “The  Soldier’s Battle” as men fought small engagements due to poor visibility in dense fog.
The Russians had massed 32000 men on the Allied flank and headed for the 2700 man 2nd Division, commanded today by the aggressive Pennefather. Instead of falling back in the face of superior numbers, he advanced. The British had their rifles to thank this day as they took a terrible toll on the musket armed Russian Infantry, who were hemmed in by the valley’s bottle neck shape. The British 2nd Division pushed the Russians back onto their reinforcements and should have been routed by the Russians’ numbers, but the fog and the British Light Division saved them. Three successive Russian commanders were killed in this engagement.
The Russians other 15000 men approached and assailed the Sandbag Battery, but they were routed by 300 British defenders vaulting the wall, blunting the lead Battalions, who were then attacked in the flank. More Russian attacks ensured the Battery exchanged hands several times.
The British 4th Division was not as lucky. Arriving on the field, its flanking move was itself flanked and its commander, Cathcart, killed. This enabled the Russians to advance, but not for long. They were soon driven off by French units arriving from their camps and made no more headway.
The battle was lost and they had to withdraw.
This was the last time the Russians tried to defeat the Allied troops in the field. Despite this reverse, however, the Russian attack had seriously stalled the Allies from capturing Sevastopol. They had to instead, spend one harsh winter on the heights overlooking the city, before it fell in September of 1855.
The British suffered 2573 casualties, the French 1800 and the Russians 11959.
