Pulling Chits for Damage is Fun....Pulling Chits other than for damage is painful

The subject line pretty much sums up my opinion on pulling chits for un-entangling, for weather changes and anything else I can't think of right now that is not damage.

To clarify - love the game. I am new but its so challenging to line up the wind with a chance to get a broadside off, then find that my guns were not loaded. Love it.

I love the excitement of grabbing 4 chits and hoping as I turn each over that its a "0" . As a self confessed noobie, I feel the chit system for all other functions needs to be replaced with a nice throw of dice.

Like weather and wind changes. I already have a good thought on how to simulate the potential for weather changes using dice but I need to play it out a few more times to see.

Any thoughts on my perspective. Has anyone else worked out a viable system?

A lot of us do use dice for weather and wind changes Chris.

Here's my solution for Wind Speed and Direction:

In reviewing my post, I noticed some editing errors on the instruction sheet. These have now been corrected.

Best way is to count the chits, determine the percentage of results and press it in a D6 dice.

These are the dice which I use.

I use a deck of cards. If I draw a

Jack, the wind decreases one step
Queen, the wind increases one step
black King, the wind turns one point clockwise
red King, the wind turns one point anticlockwise
Joker, I reshuffle the deck
anything else, the wind stays the same

This produces almost exactly the same probabilities as drawing chits.

:hatsoff: Firstly, it is great to see you back in the Anchorage after your long voyage Johan.
And to return with such a clean and simple method for the weather is a bonus.
I hope you will have a good New Year, and thank you for posting this answer to Chris's question.

Thankee, Rob. I have dipped in occasionally to read, but I guess it's been a reeeaaally long time since I logged in.

A happy New Year to you too, and to all shipmates here!
