Remember my reply to "if you were the designer of the next Warhammer" thread a while ago?

You can make my DAKKA dice using the "roll my dice" app.

The idea is to take all the number crunch out by using 1 die per attack, and using the symbols as specifics depending on the unit and its required result.

Hit

Critical hit

DEFF: Unit dependent: may be a miss, may be a fumble, may count as a hit in hand to hand, may result in self damage, may only count if leader close, may cause unit to flee, may cause unit to raise 1 corpse.

The game would play like this...

My guard conscript unit shoots your Squat Infantry - there are six
.. (scoop up 6 dakka dice).

I get two shooting re rolls- but skulls counts as jams and cannot be rolled again.

(6 die) I get... three hits... and two jams.
(4 die) two more hits

Each unit gets a card clearly explaining its skull or crit rules.

So what are crits?

Again, unit dependent. Crappy units may only hit on a crit. Troops may ignore crits. Veterans count them as hits. Snipers as unsavable hits against foot units.

See how quick you can read 14 d6?

Even 22 d6 is much easier

D6 version all faces

D8 version - all faces.
