D Dice Games Are Bad Company
Battlefield 1942 is a futuristic, first-person shooter computer video game that DICE developed in collaboration with Electronic Arts. The game can be played offline or online against single-player opponents. You can also download it for free from DICE’s official website. The game was released on the consoles Xbox, PlayStation 2 and Game Cube. Battlefield 1942: Heroes of the Flag was released as a sequel to Battlefield 1943 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 3.
This game sees players play the roles of the British Royal Air Force as well as the German Luftwaffe to stop the enemy crossing the English Channel. Each side is controlled by a player who uses both offensive and defensive tactics in order to score points and defeat the opposing forces. The emphasis in gaming is on using both the resources available to each side to achieve goals, rather than relying on manpower.
The British use their mass of manpower to attack the German forces with aircraft, amphibious assault cars, tanks, troops, guns, and aircraft, while the Germans use their tanks, aircrafts, guns, and aircraft to do the exact same. This is a dice throw because it is hard to tell which side will have the overwhelming numerical advantage to wipe out the other. Each player rolls a die to place their troops, tanks, and aircraft on specific areas of the battlefield. Because each player has a limited number dice, combat turns out to be a dice-roll. If any of the dice come up as "undefined", the game doesn't have an overall outcome. Instead, it is simply a round with each player dealing damage based on their roll.
