The chance to hit a NINJA...
is -1 on the D6 roll.
Is having it a -1 CRT Column shift to the left the same thing, assuming attacks at 5to1 or greater are still automatic Xs? I think it is, except at 1to1 odds, on a roll of 4 and using -1 to the D6 roll is a D while a column shift to the left -1 is a NE...which in the case of attacking an OGRE is the same end result, is that correct? Am I missing anything?

Re: The chance to hit a NINJA...
Against a unit that ignores D results it's effectively the same thing, with the exception for 5-1 [the entire column is Xs]. On the CRT, the number of Xs always changes by 1 going from column to column.
Though it brings up a question...at 3-1 and higher, what is a result of 0? The Battle Box rules don't explicitly say, but I'd imagine the smart move is probably that a roll can't go below 1 or above 6. Against troops that Ds do affect, it doesn't hold up. NEs double or halve with each step [4-2-1-0-0-0], Xs add or subtract one with each step [1-2-3-4-5-6], then Ds fill in whatever's left...sometimes it's 1 D, sometimes it's 2. Ogre Minis' rules for Hulks might have an effect on that, because the lowest X leaves a hulk...but the stepped progression should make it a non-issue. Don't quote me on that bit.

Correction made. That's what I get for posting on lunch instead of waiting until I got home.

Re: The chance to hit a NINJA...
Thanks for the confirmation guys.
Would it be superfluous nonsense to have this mentioned in the official rules, that players can use the -1 to the D6 or a -1 left column shift on the CRT and 5to1 odds are still considered automatic Xs? I think some people (I'm one of them) may prefer the left column shift method, and if it yields the same relative results, it may be worth adding at some point. This has to be included in the Ogrethulhu rules somehow! XD
