Some help with turn count needed.

I would like to build simple application which will get actor turn from the start possession. It will be dice throw simulation with NxOgre. It would be nice if the app shows how much you throw on each dice. I’m not quite sure how should I do it. I know I can use getLinearMomentum function and then count it by multiplication it with time. I would like to avoid this method. Can somebody give me a hint ? If anyone need any more information or description of my problem please just write. I’m really counting on some help.
