Hi folks,
I've seen some threads looking at average dmg for rebel weapons ( @Deadwolf did some great stuff here) to compare and contrast.
Just wondering if anyone has crunched the numbers to look at average Imperial damage, per figure, incorporating abilities, surge potential, etc. and accounting for defence dice.
Would be useful info in terms of making choices by accounting for avg damage to threat ratio, damage to health ratio, damage to speed ratio...
This is an amazing calculator for generating a damage frequency graph:
http://mattyellen.github.io/imperial-assault-calculator/
but lacks a single, average damage number that can then be compared between figures.
(E.g. stormies do 1.5 dmg per figure on average, vs probe droid at 3 dmg per figure)
If it hasn't been done, I might take it on, but I'd need some math tutoring on how to come up with a proper formula for calculating weighted means using frequency data.
This is how I *think* the math would work:
If a blue die has an 83% chance of at least 1 damage, and a 33% chance of 2 damage, the weighted average would be:
((.83x1)+(.33x2))/(.83+.33) = 1.28
Can any math types weigh in (so to speak) to let me know if I'm right?
Cheers!
