no worries. Enjoy the Easter weekend with your Family

I'll link to dicebot thread and post a example after bit.

Here's the link at A&A https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/40292/panzerstahl-vs-barnee-exp-game-2/376

This is an old game of Panzer and I that we use for dice rolls. The above is from our game.

There are two different type of codes you can use. One with just the dice rolls and you decide the hits or the one with the hits built in.
I prefer the latter.

So for the Tower, you need to roll for all the attacking Ftrs at 1.

Lets say there are 5 Ftrs. The code you would use would be

[dice 5d6<=1]

that's saying that there are "5" 6 sided dice being rolled. Then less than equals 1 means any roll of 1 or lower is a hit. Obviously can't roll lower than a 1 but if it was a 2 or less it would come into play.

Then after you roll it'll post the reults with the hits included.

I will do a test with the above.

Then I would do the battle in edit or if a small battle and more than 1 battle, turn on edit at start of Combat and remove the number of units that were hit. This would be the same for LMs and casualties they cause.

Then turn edit off and fight the battle normally. If there's only one battle you will have to be in edit at the end of NCM as it'll go straight to battle and you won't be able to turn edit on.

You can then undo your move in ncm and kill any hits or don't send them in the attack and kill them after combat. That is why you should move all the units that are going to use dicebot together as you will only need to undo that one move.

I find it much simpler just to be in edit if there is only the one combat.

Go ahead and run a couple hypotheticals and you'll get the hang of it pretty quick. I have to remember the code sometimes if it's been a long time

@beelee Thanks - I guess I need to know how to use dicebot then. I think you may have included instructions in a previous game we had yes?? Another idea I had was to just go for it and then redo if I have to until I have an AA dice roll showing zero "1's) for the last seven dice which would be the bombers. But short of that workaround, yes I guess I need to learn how to use dicebot or roll manually and have Pizza Emperor post a sentence or two confirming that his Daddy did not cheat on the roll. BREAK I will be offline Friday-Monday. Doing honey do's for weekend road trip packing tonight so may not be able to squeeze in US/UK9 before hitting bed.

@trout

yea you need to edit in "aaGunNO" so they won't shoot at the planes.

I guess I should paint there barrels blue actually. Signify inactive.

Here's from Notes

Just finished test. Have JPN in a bit.

Edit

@panzerstahl-helm-0 By the way, I did two test runs of this. First was a win but second was a loss so the end result weighs in the balance!! All hail the mighty A&A dice.
