<<snip stuff about needing lots of die for SG2 varients>>
I don't really know any gamers who aren't also die-collectors of various
sorts. With two or three people around a table, I've never had a problem
assembling as many of any sort of die as were needed. Let's see, I've
got
(very roughly):
5d20
4 or 5d12
at least 10d10
6 or 8 d8
almost 80 d6 (two bricks of 36, plus extras...)
4d4
My usual gaming partners have loads more, usually, and dice are cheap,
compared to miniatures or even rulebooks! Given the number of freakish
anti-vehicular shots I've seen in SG2 - the DFFG/5 Minor Impact that
bounces off Armour 1; or the more common Size 1 d12 Impact IAVR that
blasts an Armour 5 Heavy Tank to Hades with a fontal hit - I'd be in
favour of multiple die to even out the results curve.
