Re: [eia] Russian Naval Setup

I think http://www.pbm.com/dice/ will work fine for everything except
battles.  During a battle, decisions may have to be made between each die
roll, for example whether or not you want to Commit the Guard.  I think that
it could take hours to email back and forth each single die roll, hash out
results, check for mistakes, etc., whereas resolving the battle somewhere
with a chat screen would take care of it in a few minutes.  Except for that
caveat, though, this looks like a very valuable tool for us.  Thanks, Joel !
