Yes, bell curve isn't correct given a single die. However, I did find the Central Limit Theorem. I found this very good explanation here:

I believe if we hold up the random number generator to this test, it will fail the thoerem. There's even a JAVA applet at the bottom of this page for testing. Can someone far more knowledgeable in statistics than I give it a shot? Thanks.

I believe you are correct on the rules, in our live game, we always just announced how much damage, figuring you could always tell how much the person took if you paid attention to how many damage chit draws he had and how long it took to record the damage.

A follow-up comment on the 'randomizer issue'. However the randomizer chooses the number each time, we are all using the same one. Any "flaw" in it would effect everyone equally. Play enough shots/games and everything will average out. Without opening another whole can of worms, it's sort of the same as getting an inaccurate call from a baseball umpire.
Now if there were multiple randomizers assigned to different players in BM, perhaps inconstancies could crop up, intentional or unintentionally, but I hardly feel that is even REMOTELY a possibility in a game like this.
In the board game, one may have the opportunity to change dice to "change their luck", here we don't (none of us). From playing war games to Candyland, anyone can and will be undone by a series of bad die rolls. Chance means "Chance".
