Game system: Warmachine

Track winner of Starting Roll

Winner of the Starting Roll should be recorded when submitting games. This would allow us to see the degree to which the first die roll is impacting the game. We currently get great data on whether Attacker/Defender is advantaged on each scenario, and SR 2026 is the first packet to feature several scenarios with a strong advantage for the Defender. But tracking the Starting Roll winner will let us determine the advantage conferred by this opening roll (not just the advantage of going first or second). If the Starting Roll winner has a disproportionate victory rate, this could indicate the need to separate some of the advantages granted by this opening roll (e.g., winner chooses first/second, loser chooses table side; or, winner automatically become attacker and loser automatically becomes defender).
