I've just joined the league and have noticed that the fatalities are far too high. What is the probability that in four games I have suffered 8 fatalities, 3 of those games saw no bh or si. I'm not a bad player so I'm not setting my guys up to get slaughtered.

Just an observation. I mean a 1 in 36 chance that has happened 8 times in 4 games if far too often to be a coincidence.

Nope. It's just chance.

Over your first 3 games, the total results of all the casualty rolls have been 8 BH, 1 SI, and 2 RIP on 11 CAS total. Average rolls for 12 CAS would be 6 / 4 / 2. As it is, your matches are actually doing slightly better than average (if 2 of your BHs had been SIs, then you'd be dead on average).

Yeah, just love those people who answer a legitimate question with 'It's called Blood Bowl!"

Real helpful answer to the question asked...

Hmm, maybe I'll offer something a little more informative. It's just luck/unluck...supposidely over a very long period, it will even out..but with so many teams in FUMBBL you are bound to have many instances of stats that are way off of the expected value. And any one game can be extreamly off. (I had a 1BH/5SI/0Rip against me recently..)

Ok CoachLazyeye

1. its a 1 in 6 chance to die not a 1 in 36 chance

2. Yeah Death happen quite frequently occasionally but then there are the matches where 8 or 9 people get injured and all are only BH (my favorite matches)

It is a 1 in 6 chance of dying once you roll a casualty.

From the 1 in 36 quoted, he is still thinking of the 3rd edition injury table. and needs to go download a copy of the living rule book, as a good number of other things have changed since 3rd edition/

There are what, 600 games played daily on this site? With a volume that large, you're going to see some statistical abberations.

Congratulations - you're one of them.
