Sisyphus' Probability Tables(updated April 8, 2008)

Here are some handy probability tables for those that are interested. Each table goes from 1 to 10 attack left to right and 0 to 10 defense top to bottom unless otherwise indicated.

Use this information with caution since "there are lies, damned lies, and statistics."

Counter Strike vs. Double Strike


Wound Chance:
Code:
This table shows the probability of an attack causing at least one wound to the attacker with double strike

(when each skull rolled counts as two hits) when the defender has counter strike(when excess shields count as 

unblockable hits).  For squad figures and 1 life heroes it also shows the probability of an attack destroying 

the attacking figure due to counter strike.

I have been getting a lot of requests on how these tables were produced so here are some helpful equations. P(w) gives the probability that an attack of A dice will inflict a wound against a figure with D defense(i.e. kill a squad member). The specialized tables in this thread come from this formula with only slight modifications. E(w) gives the expected number of wounds an attack with A dice will inflict on a figure with D defense(i.e. average damage to a hero if the hero has at least A life). The third equation is the definition of a combination which is used in the first two formulas. "n choose m" is the number of ways you can choose n items in a set of m elements. For example if I roll three attack dice, I can get two skulls in three different ways. The skulls can be on the first and second dice, the first and third dice, or the second and third dice.

Just to point out, you spelled snipers wrong.

Awesome, awesome, sticky-worthy post.

One interesting takeaway I noticed is that when attack and defense dice are tied, the chance of at least one wound is tied at 3-3, in the attacker's favor at 4-4 and above, and in the defender's favor at 2-2 and below. That right there is going to change the way I play some squad figures, I think.

I like it. Very helpful! Although I would continue to update it and maybe label your tables a little better so we know what column represents dice and what column represents damage inflicted.

I was just thinking about this thread today, and how I should bump it. Useful stuff. I think the biggest lesson for me at least is to remember that you still need one more Skull than shield to wound, and one more shield or more to get a counterstrike.

Since 4 Attack dice equal about as much skulls on average as 6 Defense gets in shields, you need one more attack die to have about a 50% chance to wound.

I like comparing something to a coin toss, because 50% odds are the easiest for me to wrap my head around in a game. Against squad figures...

1 A, >50% chance of wounding 0 D and below.
2A, "" 1 D
3A, "" 3 D
4A, "" 4 D
5A, "" 6 D
6A, "" 7 D
7A, "" 9 D

I read the threads title as Syphilis problem tables. So, yeah, this thread is a bit different than I thought.....

Ah, cool my thread is stickied. I generated some tables for Hatamoto Taro. I'll add them when I get back to the computer in which they are on.

I'm glad to see this thread got stickied. I actually printed out a few of the probability tables when you first made this thread. It helped me realize why I could never put a wound on that stupid soulborg
