The Commander Series Forum

I got a few eight-sided dice with another game. ("Battles of Westeros"- a command -and-colour clone).

3 times hit green target
2 times hit blue target
1 time hit red target
1 times special hit
1 time flag

I really like them as it is easy to see if you got a hit! Not have to count 4, 5 and six. Just one look- aasy for older fellows like me.

I now had some thoughts if I could use them with BKC II.

Target in open ground would be hit green
Target in soft cover = hit blue
Target in hard cover = hit red

This would slightly reduce the chance to hit ( e.g. open ground 50% to 37,5%).

Save 4 would be green
Save 5 would be blue
Save 6 would be red

I´m suggesting to use the "special hit" for fire from the flank and artillery/ mortars firing at targets in cover (trenchs).

Will test it with my next game.

It'll work, mostly-ish, probability wise but it looks like a solution in search of a problem to me

That said I've just had to get new glasses so either this or d6 the size of coke cans might be needed next time round!
