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.

Your link is all about averaging the rolling of TWO dice. How is that remotely related to rolling one die? Finding that the average of 3.5 is far more common than 1.0 is quite the same as saying seven is the most likely total of rolling two dice.

I'm only active in 4 Blue Max games at the moment, and only two of them have gotten started. Thanks to the multitude of planes in both, there is a total of 22 dice rolls in the histories. There have been 4 rolls of one, 4 rolls of two, 4 rolls of three, 4 rolls of four, 4 rolls of five, and 2 rolls of six. Due to the dearth of sixes, the average is 3.272727...

Only one roll was for my shooting so my average would be meaningless.

If anything, the grouping of results is TOO "perfectly" random. But this is far too small a sample from which to draw conclusions.
