You've met my friends I see. And it isn't heroic... it's downright 
merciless and brutal. One can have great plans, but if one is 
afflicted with the Dread Probability Skew Demon, ones fate is truly 
sealed. Stupendous enemy incompetence is turned to brutal and 
grievious harm through fabulous die rolling on behalf of an 
incompetent tactician and incompetent  die rolling on behalf of the 
fabulous tactician.... (some old saw about the best laid plans of 
mice and men echoes in my head). But, Tis the Fun of Gaming. Besides, 
it makes compassion for these *friends* when you win a total 
non-starter - you can gloat like a Pig doing a Jig because its what 
they've done to you so many times.... (ah! God love em!). 

They are what gaming is all about.
