Low Luck: affect vs effect update

====Low Luck==== ====Low Luck====
Low luck in an option that affects the way combats take place. You cannot change it during the game. To set it on or off, when you start the game (as in Starting your first game chapter), after selecting the map with the "Choose Game ..." button, click on "Game Options". Low luck is listed among options. + Low luck is an option that effects how many casualties are inflicted during each round of combat. You cannot change it during a game except by saving and reloading. To turn it on or off, when you start a game, after selecting the map with the "Choose Game ..." button, click on "Game Options" to then turn it on or off in the list of options.
When low luck is turned off, we call the game "dice". + Games are either low luck or dice, dice is typically the default. In a dice game, one die is rolled for every unit in combat to determine if they hit or miss. There is less variability in a low luck game and up to one die is rolled during combat regardless of how many units are attacking or defending.
Dice is the default state. + Low luck calculates the number of casualties by summing the total attack value (or defensive value) and then dividing by six by to find the statistical expected number of hits. One die is then rolled to determine if the reminder is a hit or not. The remainder or lower becomes the number to roll for an extra hit.
In dice, during combat, for every unit a dice is rolled. If the dice is higher than the attacking value of the unit, it means the unit missed it's target. If the dice is smaller or equal to the attacking value of the unit, it has inflicted a casualty. (6 always means missing, 1 always means inflicting casualty). + For example, if 3 infantry are attacking they have a total attack value of 3. Three divided by six is zero with a remainder of three. Thus, three infantry on attack would roll one die, a one, two, or three would be a hit. As another example, six infantry attacking would get exactly one hit. Since the remainder is zero, no die at all would be rolled. Finally, if eight infantry were attacking three tanks, the infantry would get one hit and a roll hitting on a one or a two. The tanks would also get one hit and also an extra hit if they roll a one, two, or a three. Note, that in the last example each side is guaranteed one hit, and can possibly get two. Contrast this to dice where the infantry could get anywhere from zero to eight hits, and the tanks could also have anywhere from zero to three hits.
 
In Low luck, attacking values of all attacking units are added up. The sum is divided by 6. The [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/floor_function floor] of that number are certain casualties. A dice is rolled for the rest multiplied by 6. Same applies for defending units.  
 
For example, if you are attacking with 8 infantry, during "dice" 8 dice are rolled. A casualty is inflicted for every 1 rolled. During low luck, you make one certain casualty and one dice is rolled. If it's ≤2, you inflict another casualty.

The easternmost landing beach was Sword Beach, assaulted by units of the British 3rd Division (and units attached to the division) under the command of Major-General Thomas Rennie. Sword Beach stretched five miles (8km) from Ouistreham to Aubin-sur-Mer, although landings would occur on a sector 1.8 miles (2.9km) long between Hermanville-sur-Mer and Colleville-sur-Orne (later renamed Collevillle-Montgomery) which was divided into Queen White and Queen Red sectors. The 8th Brigade, 1st Battalion of the South Lancashire Regiment and 2nd Battalion of the East Yorkshire Regiment would form the first wave.

Forming the first wave were a number of tanks and demolition teams. Some of the tanks ran into the path of the landing craft carrying the demolition teams, but quick manoeuvering prevented a potential disaster, and most of the tanks reached the beach safely. The first tanks and troops ashore were immediately greeted with German fire, which was fortunately rather moderate. Ten minutes later, units of the 1st South Lancashire Regiment and 2nd East Yorkshire Regiment landed, along with a number of French commandos attached to Lord Lovat's brigade. The German defenders were suppressed without much trouble, and by 0800 the British troops had advanced beyond the beaches. In another five hours the commandos had linked up with the paratroopers on the Caen Canal and Orne. However, the troops on Sword were unable to link up with the Canadians on Juno.

Juno was divided into two main sectors: Mike in the west and Nan in the east. The 7th Canadian Infantry Brigade would assault Mike with the Royal Winnipeg Rifles, The Canadian Scottish Regiment and the 1st Hussars. They were to then take Courseulles and move inland.

Also, the level warnings mark an end to specific levels: beginners who do not want their reading experience spoiled by having plot points prematurely revealed should only read up to the "Beginner warning" or "Spoiler warning" tag. Intermediate readers similarly should read only up to the "Intermediate warning" tag. Advanced readers presumably have already read the entire series, and are fully knowledgeable about what happens in each novel, so their enjoyment in reading the series is undamaged by anything in this book. Thus, there is no tag for Advanced readers, as there is no place where they should stop reading.

  +
  + It would appear that the only book in which Professor Binns is at all important to the plot is ''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets''. Presumably any character teaching History of Magic could equally serve the purpose here. Professor Binns also has a tiny role in ''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'', where Hedwig's appearance at the classroom window is only noticed because the class itself is so dull.
  +
  + It is never explained why History of Magic is taught by a ghost; we can only speculate that the author thought it would be an interesting conceit to have an effectively dead subject taught by an effectively dead teacher. There is also no explanation for the confusion of names that Professor Binns displays in his one useful interaction with the class; he does seem to get the initial letter of the student's name right (for instance, Parvati ''P''atil becomes Miss ''P''ennyfeather). It is possible that he is simply recalling the names of students that he taught when he was alive, conflating him with the students he finds in front of him.

*[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Introduction/Advanced|Advanced]] - Readers who have read the entire series and are looking to develop detailed knowledge of the books' content and realize the greater picture.

A slight step down from the intermediate level, only a few topics in the book are covered, providing a simple view of the series.
All text is available to anyone who wants to read it; we do not "turn off" text if you are not at the proper level. Also, the level warnings mark an end to specific levels: beginners who do not want their reading experience spoiled by having plot points prematurely revealed should only read up to the "Beginner warning" or "Spoiler warning" tag. Intermediate readers similarly should read only up to the "Intermediate warning" tag. Advanced readers presumably have already read the entire series, and are fully knowledgeable about what happens in each novel, so their enjoyment in reading the series is undamaged by anything in this book. Thus, there is no tag for Advanced readers, as there is no place where they should stop reading. + For those who don't want to avoid spoilers, we add this caution. Particularly on the Character pages, and to a lesser extent the Magic pages, there are sections where analysis requires that we cover things that the reader may not have yet have seen. In particular, several characters are suddenly seen in a new light in the last two books. In as much as it is possible, we mark sections where these appear with the name of the book or chapter to which they apply. In a character Analysis section, therefore, there might be a heading "''Deathly Hallows''"; this is an indication that the following section should be avoided until you have read ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'', to avoid spoilers.

Slytherin then left the school for good, but not before he supposedly created a secret chamber and housed a monster within. Legend claims the Chamber can be opened, and the monster can be controlled, only by Slytherin's true heir. Binns goes on to say that headmaster after headmaster has searched the school, and none found so much as a secret broom closet. Angry at having his lovely historical facts interrupted by this legend, Binns then refuses to speak any more about it, and the class once again subsides into boredom. According to Professor Binns, Hogwarts' four Founders had a falling out.

Being a ghost, Binns seems relatively detached from flesh-and-blood characters. As there are no references of him appearing among the other ghosts, it seems that he has no special interest in them either. His only interests apparently lie in teaching his classes. Although this requires that he be attentive to his students, his interaction with them appears to end as soon as they leave the classroom. He is even unable to remember his students' names. When Hermione Granger asks about the Chamber of Secrets, he initially does not recall her name, then addresses her as "Miss Grant," calls [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Seamus Finnigan|Seamus Finnigan]] "O'Flaherty," and addresses [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Parvati Patil|Parvati Patil]] as "Miss Pennyfeather." + Being a ghost, Binns seems relatively detached from flesh-and-blood characters.
