Title: Desert Fox of Luck?
Post by: Dave Fairlamb on 03 February 2012, 09:49:39 PM
Hi All,

this weekend will be playing a game of BCKII. Ah its been a while since me Afrika Korps was in action. 2500pts fight vs the ever intractable Jim Andos (from this forum) 8th army, who will prevail? Only time will tell.
Rest assured I have performed all my superstitious rituals (arranging my army in the case by type, size or awesomeness) and little foibles (putting my dice in the box so all the 1s are showing) as to get me in good favour with dice gods! (very similar to traffic light gods)

Here is a Question for the good members of the forum. Is it better to have the dice gods onside and throw caution to the wind OR be a shrewd tactician, leaving nothing to chance and thus offending the mighty dice gods (GAMBLOR being the most powerful of them and his good moods and generosity very limited)

what does intractable mean ?.

I`ve never been called intractable before, hope it`s a compliment.

Bet u don`t get many africa korp for 2500 points so I wouldn`t worry about your dice too much.

The Oxford Dictionary says:

"intractable" (adjective) In-traktabel

Some one or thing that is difficult to control or deal with.

In this case, Jims' 8th army is INTRACTABLE because of its truck loads of artillery and tanks.

How do you go about posting pictures of your battles?
