The table below gives the statistical distribution of pips for the six different types of command in big battle DBA: a command with its own dice (an ally command, or the commander-in-chief's command when fighting with two allies), the low-dice command of an army with a single ally, the high-dice command of an army with a single ally, or the three different commands for an army with no allies.
