Are you saying that’s just bad luck ?

[FreddBloggs]

People tend to forget that dice have no memory. Each time you roll it, it's still the exact same odds as last time..

But has anyone told the dice this?

Clearly you've never seen EB launch a cavalry charge.

History book today, and one that isn’t nostalgia. Along with their book on Cowpens this is a masterpiece in how to analyse a battle

[Ilkley Old School]

Good choice- I have a copy of the Cowpens book but have not got the Guilford Courthouse one.

[Count Belisarius]

Excellent book, GM.

What the other noble gentleman just said.

After watching the BBC's drama War and Peace (1970s version) I wanted to refight Borodino so started collecting more Airfix French to paint up the Russians. At the same time I bought this wonderful book from Shepards of Gateshead.

People tend to forget that dice have no memory. Each time you roll it, it's still the exact same odds as last time..

Here’s my number one -

I love this book, I got it Somewhere between age 12 - 14 and is probably my most reread book - as you can tell by the tatters.
And the page photo I used to stare at repeatedly and is definitely to blame for me being in this hobby.

I definitely used to invest so much more time in a single thing such as this book or a magazine article, etc. We have so much to look at now.
