Typhon2222's Battle Reports

Last night's game, played on Galaxian.

My worthy adversary wanted to try Zombies for his first time.

His army:
x8 Zombies

My army:
x2 Stingers
x4 Drones
Hive

The game ended quite unexpectedly when his Zombies, in an act of desperation, decided to swarm my Hive and use their Zombie Onslaught Special attack. They rolled their six attack dice – and got six skulls.

I rolled my two defense — and got two blanks.

Dead Hive. Fell to the Zombies in one attack.

What were the odds of that roll? 1 in 576?

Close. 1 in ~587.7 if I did it right. (Edit: Which I didn't.)

Why were his Zombies that close to your Hive?

It seemed practically every turn I would kill two of his Zombies, and on his turn, he would kill one of my figures and gain a Zombie back. Total war of attrition — but in that war, his Zombies, six of them moving forward per turn, shambled inexorably closer and closer to my SZ. It really did feel like Zombie Apocalypse, with this sense of dread horror as they come on and on and on....

All-skulls on 6 dice is a 1-in-64 shot; missing completely on 2 defense dice happens 4 of 9 times. Multiply together and you get 1 in 144.

Ah, I see what I did wrong. Dok's right, I guess it's more likely than I thought.

Harumph. Yet again, my parade of exceptional unlikeliness has been rained on by stupid factual numbers.

1 in 144 is still a low likelihood.

Yes but rolling two blanks, happens 1-in-36x.

EDIT: So if I did this right and you multiply those two together...you get a whooping total of once every 2304 times.

Edit: Whoops...counted wrong. It's 4/9 chance of completely wiffing.
