He misses with an 11. So, I wonder if OOTP is more complex in determining outcomes?
I don't think it is more complex necessarily. It's more like OOTP can be more accurate because it isn't constrained by the discrete percentages that dice rolls give. With the miss-on-11 example, the dice are constrained to missing 2/36 times whereas OOTP can miss 2004/36000 times if it needs too. It can be more exact when making it's random number determinations.

I think this is the drawback to Strat. I think even the computer version uses dice rolls.
