Hmmm....

A year or so ago I did a "roll test" with the German Dice. I think I rolled 100 times then sorted the results. Beyond a cursory look over I didn't do any analysis on the results. As far as I remember it was pretty consistent.

Is anyone interested? I can try to find it tonight and take a picture...

Yeah post it. I'll roll mine and we'll see if he have the same results. Did you roll a single die or any number of dice? We usually switch back to the original HQ dice about 1/3 into the game because the dice rolls are terrible. Rolling skulls on these German dice is next to impossible.

Here it is. I hope it's useful for someone. I never did much with it other than a cursory overview.

I had 10 of each dice colour and rolled those 10 times, then marked the results. Can't promise a mismark somewhere, but it was accurate enough for me.

I probably have like 20+ extra combat dice and 10+ extra red dice, by gathering extra games as KK has done. I have 4 base games somewhat complete on addition to my own set.
