Weird Random weather

Post by BrianG »

I am playing Bobo and we are at Nov 13th.

Random weather.

I have mud in 3 zones and snow in the north soviet only.

When I look at the weather rules for Nov 13th, mud happens on Rolls 1 2 and 11 (out of 15) with Die *11 and die modified by soviet zones

+1 South soviet
+2 Central Soviet
+4 North Soviet

How is it possible for the die roll (or is there a roll for each zone?) when a die roll 1 would be mud for Euro, mud for south soviet and then snow for Central based on plus 2 which then equals 3.

I am pretty sure the laws of mathematics are being dealt a blow here!

Also, we had a north soviet snow turn 20. which helped. and btw, this possibility of snow during mud turns means the german's might want their tanks to be in the north soviet zone and near supply. Orel/Tula is a good spot if you have the trains that far East..

Although the manual implies one die roll for the whole map, adjusted for each zone, I think there is a separate roll for each zone; else there is no way to explain snow between two mud zones and similar anamolies that occur from time to time.

The mathematical odds of such weather results is getting up there!

New issue in game versus Bobo.

June 4 1942 Turn 51

weather rolls are as follows:

Euro 7 clear
south 6 clear
central 5 clear
N Soviet 5 clear

June 4 is supposed to be covered by the May random map column. A 6 and 7 for May shows Mud. But we have clear.

Am I again reading something wrong or is the random map, uh, more random then we thought!
