Anyone know what they are basing this on?

At least most of the Fighting Fantasy series of gamebooks used 2d6 as their standard roll for combat, and they're one of the most notable examples of this kind of book (the series had more than 40 entries, and I had a sizeable collection of them growing up). There may have been some that needed more dice for specific encoutner randomisation, but none of them needed any non-d6 dice, I'm pretty sure.
