I'm not talking about how you only needed that 2+ roll, though that is true too. Wouldn't you feel jipped if you would have won had it not been for a 2+ being made? I would.
I wouldn't rant over it, but I'd still be sad because of it.
Then there are those games where you could have brought more points to the show than your foe and the dice still saw you lose. That is what I am really talking about.
Generally, if your foe is a reasonable bloke and *he* says the dice cheated you, then the dice have cheated you.
I don't see how acknowledging bad rolling is looking for a scape goat.

If you play Blood Bowl, you can get totally taken out of the game by bad dice, even if you have stood all your men up, moved the free men, done 2D blocks with block, etc. as once you fail a roll, your turn is over.
Whilst 40K is not as severe, if you lose 10 Marines to 10 bolter wounds, you have been jipped.
I haven't read the whole thing through and mused over it, and am going out for my nephew's birthday dinner.
I'll be back to fight those who defy my authoritai, don't worry.
Lol

[Out of] Range and [within the Typhoons] reach keep them safe yet effective.
Generally, singles are better. But some things don't suffer as much from forming a squadron and this allows MOAR POWA! in your list
^^,
Piranhas can have one with a Dpod, and the other gets cover too. Same with fletchette launchers. One works for two.
Piranhas probably get the most from squadrons due to these things, imo.

But there is nothing that really warrants an inferior unit doing a job. When I say inferior, I am not saying cheaper - ie, 60 pts of Grots hold an Objective just as well as 200 pts of Boyz.
I am saying, don't kid yourself that 200 pts of Assault Marine is as killy as 200 pts of Hammernator.
As far as accurate versus inaccurate digging, which wasn't really the point of my spades and diggers analogy, yes a tl-Lascannon is better than a Battlecannon at finishing off that last Crisis suit. But I was talking about inferior units and superior units in a bang for buck sense.
Plus, diggers can be laser guided and satellite guided, making them more accurate over a 100 metre square field than a spade job
:P
