Since I am by default a soloist, the words that signal impending doom are:
As long as I don't roll a one, I am good.

Perhaps someone should have told me I was bringing the Figures for the game this week!

OSCS7407 Dec 2021 6:48 a.m. PST

It's true, your dice rolling is really bad!!

Doug MSC07 Dec 2021 6:48 a.m. PST

You can't do that…

You moved an 8th of an inch to far…

Can we continue the game next week?….

How did you roll 7 ones on 6 dice??

You wanna measure that again and read it right this time?

"Okay, so you need to check. Then we need to see if they retreat from melee. Then we need to check to see if you pursue. Then we need to check your morale. Then we need to check for your commander radius. Then we need to check your failure coefficient. The. We need to check for troop reaction. Then we need to check if those friendlies are in radius. Shoot. We need to first check if you sight them. Darn. We were supposed to check for disorder first. Okay, but if the unit is disordered we need to check for a firing negative. But they are carrying flintlock, so we need a wind check. Then we need to check if the powder is dry. Then we need a check to see how this affects morale. Then we can finish this charge. Then it will be your turn to fire. If you pass your range check. And your receive charge check. Pre melee check. Order check. And then response check.

Hey…you know something…these are 6th edition. Shoot. We should have been using the 8th edition. 8th is way better. Let me tell you how the checks work in 8th."

Those are militia? I thought they were elite!

Those cute little spikey things, what are they called?

These rules aren't right! That couldn't happen in real life!
