Once I drove, one after the other, 3 MK IVs into the same stone building cellar. The forth one finally survived, sitting real nice in there.
The fourth one would have fallen into the cellar as well if it hadn't been filled to capacity with the three other Pz IVs... ?

You finally roll a double 1 (for random selection for your opponent's KIA on your squad and leader stack).
Played a three player scenario at the weekend and scored a 1KIA on a stack of leader, and two full squads.

RS - 1 1 1

Opponent took it well. But I hurt for him

He wasted all those ones, tragic.
Same chap who, in the Semi Final down at Intensive Fire four years back, needed to kill my Churchill to win the scenario....with an 88LL gun. Got 4 rounds off and secured hits with the last two...

Both duds.

PS: I have witnesses to all this !

Any morale check caused by WP in TEM of +2 or greater will automatically include a red six.

This is reverse Murphy’s law, whenever I remind an opponent of a missed sniper they tend to fail the roll.

Similar to that:

When you have that SAN of 5 and the Sniper is activated time and again - he sleeps.
Just had this happen to me in my last game: A MTR ROF tear of 8 or 9 shots & additional number of effect DRs triggered my Sniper no less than 5 times. I rolled 3,6,6,6,3.

Draw a pair of dice on a toilet paper square, then flush it.

At least it will be cathartic.
Lmao! I've heard a story of someone flushing his opponent's dice before. Some New York boys if I recall.

Tell your Sniper to take the lens cap off his scope, that may help!?

Similar to that, when you ask your opponent to roll a repair check you forgot earlier and 6 the roll. -- jim

Just when you get your killstacks into position for the final turn, the cat enters the room to kibitz the game and make adjustments to the stacks.
