Can the OP necro his own thread?

It reminds me of this Holiday around April....

But instead of waiting three days, and the whole thing being a miracle, he waited 6 months. I think it's where Zombies come from.


Also, OP necroing his own thread is made sweeter by two posters who either missed the giant card image, or were just so swept up in the OP that they couldn't be bothered to read the other three pages.
There's never anything good in there anyway.

I'd ask them to roll it again. Rolling dice openly is for my benefit as well as their's. Good players make sure the other player has seen the roll and understand its significance, eg "Ok, my 10 men firing at yours behind cover, need 5s or more to hit...ok that's one, two, three hits" Why is that difficult? It's a matter of courtesy not about catching cheaters, I do it for others. Completing your shooting phase when I'm out the room getting a beer or having a crap isn't on, nor is rolling behind screens or other objects where I can't see the dice.

Another annoyance is people who throw dice and lose on on the floor, you'd be suprised how often they'll demand a reroll if it's a 1 but argue to keep it if it's a 6. My rules are that dice have to land on the table and lie flat, if the land against a hill and are slightly tilted they are void, if they go on the floor they are void, if they end up floating in my beer, they are void.

Even easier would be to bring a dice tower.
