> Hello, I can not for the life of me figure out where I have gone wrong.  I wrote the following code as a simulation for the table top game x-wing.  It basically simulates dice rolls but the issue is the fact that every time I choose a number of dice to roll, they all hit.  None of them ever miss.  Thank You.

This should be indented, to line up with offens= line

Then this else will mean odie >4
But then instead of continue, you'll need to increment offense.

Continue doesn't help, you need to increment defense.

You'd have done yourself a favor to do loops with range (),
 instead of the while loops.

For example

for qq in range (x):
