Never Depend On Dice
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

That’s a good rule of thumb!
ReplyDeleteIf I was more fanciful, I'd say the Red dragoons were out for revenge for the last 2 games.
DeleteA feature of gaming with my regular opponent is he constantly throws one to my sixes. One can see his blood pressure rising and understandably so. I just feel embarrassed.

Ah, I had one of those, it didn't help when I would predict his throw of 1 at critical moments and it would happen. Had to give that up and we adopted dice cups, Didn't help.
DeleteOooerrrrr…can I please borrow your dice! (…but only the blie ones 😎)
ReplyDeleteI think they had just worn the other side out in the last game,
DeleteWell, er, I mean....that's a true statement. I suppose there's a story there. Do tell.

I think the Red dragoons were just tired of being beaten or tied at best.
DeleteMy own default dice roll probably averages out as about 1.5... it's probably in that area for my son Steven as well. Dice rolls are not a strong point in my family.
ReplyDeleteI think they just finally wore down the other side of the blue dice.
DeleteHexahedra is a fickle muse... with a wicked sense of humour.
