Orcs and Last Hussar came over for a game on Saturday and we played a big battle Tolkien-themed game, which made a change from all the skirmish gaming I have been doing recently.

So were Sunjesters dice.
Last Hussar managed to throw a 1 for about a third of all his dice.

Last Hussar

I threw 2s.

It was Orcs that threw the 1s.

I did keep track at one point, when between us Orcs and I rolled 13 dice on the trot all 3 or under.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

You can see the quality of our dice throwing by the fact LH is boasting he threw 2's
