A resource designed to assist players of a popular strategy board game franchise in computing combat outcomes. This tool typically simulates dice rolls and applies modifiers dictated by unit types, terrain, and strategic advantages. It allows users to input the specific details of an engagement to estimate the probability of success for each side. For instance, a player can input the number of attacking tanks, supporting infantry, and air support against a defending force with fortifications to receive an estimated result distribution of potential casualties and territorial control.
These resources provide a significant advantage to players by reducing the inherent randomness of the game and allowing for more informed decision-making. Understanding the statistical likelihood of success for various attack and defense scenarios enables more efficient allocation of resources and strategic planning. Historically, calculations for this game were performed manually, often involving complex formulas and charts. These tools automate the process, providing faster and more accurate results than manual methods, and enhancing the player experience.
