    I know little of mathematics, but I'm pretty sure multiplication and subtraction are not good bedfellows. You could just jack up the power of the attack equation considerably, or perhaps just times the end number by 10 or something.

    Like I said, multiplication and subtraction aren't good bedfellows. The insides of the equation are all multiplications.

    Bye!

    What multiplication would be in there? I'm not getting you

    My straight up attack - def would not involve the x10 you proposed, if that's what you're talking about

    Hm? Oh! Years of algebra made me think XdY was a multiplication thing.

    We could just multiply XdY and Xdb instead of adding them, too...

    'd' refers to die rolls

    As in rolling X dice with Y sides

    Am aware. That's still a type of multiplication, though... just with more random chance.

    die rolls can be subtracted from die rolls withour trouble, can't they?

    They can. Though the simpler you make it the easier the calculations will be. Could just have a flat all the attack value added together = side of attacking die roll minus all the defense value of defenders = side of defending die roll = casualties.

    Might need some balancing if the numbers get weird.

    Could you create an example to describe that? I'm not following you
