I was introduced to a new guy and he said "oh yea, you're the guy who rolls poorly." BUT, about 3 months ago, everything changed and I'm on fire! I'm beating people I've never beat and my dicing is great. I'm proof that the Law of Large Numbers will kick in and turn it around for you! ;-) Montyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094254709103687259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-73409249680681371352013-11-18T18:09:30.173-08:002013-11-18T18:09:30.173-08:00Monty, NEVER place your money on me to win!Monty, NEVER place your money on me to win!Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-83106619996306805912013-11-18T17:53:08.059-08:002013-11-18T17:53:08.059-08:00LOL!

Swapping the line I think made all the difference as it allowed me to feed in fresh Princepes to overwhelm the Carthaginian main line.

Great to see it all out on the table and down to your first game! <br /><br />My money is on Carthos and I suspect the Iberians will cause difficulty with their extra impetus dice. If you get a chance, the full set rules has some great chrome, like Throwing the Pilum for the Romans.
