Five mins? As in 5?

What are you playing, 200pts games?

I can't imagine an entire turn in 5mins for just about any size game.

**Sigvatr**

If, for example, someone has 60 shooting attacks and he rolls each of the 60 dice at once, and I see that, he gets a Yellow Card offense.

It's deliberate slow play and very poor sportsmanship.

Rolling a single dice for individual characters is ok. Rolling many dice dice after dice is slow play.

Local GW store has a standing policy: you have five minutes for your turn, then it moves on to the next player. Does wonders to speed play by forcing a player to focus on/speed their turn. Likewise, other players hold their tongues escept to ask questions - if they interrupt/stall your turn, you could interrupt/stall, so unless it's critical, folks leave the active player alone.

I don't envy your Ork players, that's the worst idea I've heard for 40k in a while. 5 Minutes per turn is barely enough to move a 1000 point army unless you're playing Grey Knights or all your troops are in tanks.

Buy him a bucket to roll them with!

Only way to do 60 dice in one go.

Or at least work him up to say 5 at a time

I know a pet peeve of mine is when people roll single dice with characters to tank the hits and when they get low they start passing off the shots to models around them.

Is there something wrong with this? Don't have the BRB on me (on hols) so can't check RAW. I have done this before and thought nothing of it.

No there's nothing wrong with it at all. Not only do I do this, but in almost every single situation I can think of my opponent has too. This one is a normal thing to do and if someone gave me crap for it I'd tell em to chill out.

i thought this tanking tactic was obsolete with the 'hits always wound the closest model' rule?

I would imagine that they use Look out sir!

Yeah, this is the way it's supposed to work. Characters sit at the front and tank wounds unless they're powerful enough to drastically hurt the character, or the character is down to 1-2 wounds. 2+ Look Out Sir helps quite a bit in this regard.

Kick him in the balls. Threaten him. Spit on him!

Or just, ya'know, talk to him about it. With topics like this, I wonder if the old adage of wargamers not having any social skills is actually true.
