So I'm curious as to whether the Default Dice of SimulGear gameplay are good or not.  The current default is set to Attacker 75% and Defender 60%.  This is opposite from the old world where it was Attacker 60% and Defender 75%, so I'm not sure which is the better default.

Almost feels like it should be Attacker 60% and Defender 75%, but I'm unsure if there is a good reason for this or if it's just because I'm more used to the old world way.

What do fellow Board Designers and players think?

I've been having issues wrapping my monkey brain around it. I like for there to be 2 different gameplay options and Turn-based already favors the attacker so I would like SimulGear to favor the defender by default. I think that also makes it a more strategic sort of game, but that's just me. I would like the default dice set at Attack 60 Defend 70. I don't really like the 5% thing because I am thinking of it based off of a 10-sided dice rather than 100 because big numbers make RiskyBack sad.

I am fine with whatever you guys agree with... I can't even remember why I chose 75:65 :)

To me, the default isn't a big deal as I like to change defaults anyway, but I like the idea of 60/70, and would probably most prefer 60/60 or something even or closer to even (favoring defenders, but not so much that it is hard to advance and end games).

Regardless, a default should be settle upon prior to go-live so there isn't a couple of odd boards that should be default dice, but happened to come into being prior to a decision (so they use 75/60).

Sorry, to suggest holding up Bomb Factory (and other ready boards) as I look forward to playing this (my beta test was the first time I had played and see why it is fun). This default does seem like an important thing to have in place (I guess I just contradicted my first statement).

My vote would be for 60/75 since that is what we are used to.
