Calculating the Odds: Effective Health and Legion

Image
       Earlier this year a different game I dabble with was having a debate.  There was an option that gave a unit a second armor save on a 5+.  The common response was this meant it had 33% more health.  A better response was 50%.  These are both incorrect.  To hit that conclusion took a bit of math, and I was also curious how to apply these calculations to Legion.   [Math Section Begins]      Effective health is essentially the health of the model taking into account its armor save.  Armor saves are a quasi-infinite chain.  As long as you keep making them, you don't lose health.  You can model this as a series of events: This is a geometric series.  It can be expressed more succinctly as: Thankfully, as the odds of an armor save are always lower than 1 it also converges!  This means that it nicely collapses down to this: Finally,  I was curious about Dodges here too: The real wrinkle with do...

Doomtown Gencon Prep

Image
So Gencon is less than two weeks away.  It's past time to settle on a deck and get final testing done.  Currently, Desolation Row is still the deck to beat but there are options in other factions that are also good.  The Desolation Row deck is a good template for shooter decks from other factions too. Starting with the aforementioned Desolation Row:   this is the deck  that I took to my local recent Sheriff's event.  I used that starting posse for most games.  Against Deedslide or Clowns Fred Aims went in with his infinite influence(note both of those decks should run The Evidence) and against decks that wanted to fight I switched out Allie or Makaio for Angelica.  In retrospect I should probably start Angelica, Sanford, Travis, Jake and Makaio.  Starting with two studs has been very very important.  Modern shooter decks have incredibly odds to have the ability to debuff one of them so it's an important to have a backup before starti...

Malifaux: Settling on a Faction

Image
So recent events have me dabbling in Malifaux again.  The difficulty here has been settling on a faction.  There are three primary problems:  1. There isn't a single faction with both strong and broad appeal, 2. My traditional method for deciding upon a faction/MMO character class/etc. haven't really worked out, 3. Faction ADD is real.  While I already own much of what is below Malifaux is detailed enough that focusing on a faction and a few masters to really grok seems important.  Current thoughts: Neverborn   Across every Master in Malifaux, the above two masters are personal favorites.   Darby and Not-Char are both cool thematically and I enjoy their playstyle too.  The real issue is the rest of the Neverborn.  I can't really say I like the look of any of their other masters and many of the other options in the faction leave me cold(teddy bears = no, horrors = yes). What the Neverborn have going for them is they are a tradit...
