Y'know... one of these days, it'll come back.  I'm hoping by next
weekend....

Er, no, that would be *messy*.	The Teske field, sure, but not by *me*.
(Or even my sister, who's name happens to be Beth... hmm....)

Oddly enough, I've typically done better when I *don't* use my own dice.
(OT: In one of the two WH40K games I've played, I had an Inquisitor in
termie armor -- 3+ save on 2d6, I think it was?  Anyway, I got mobbed by
genestealers, but made over 60 7+ armor saves over a couple rounds of
combat... I admit it, that was kinda fun. ^_^; )

Woo!

Now I need to get my Showdown turn in... visited a friend this weekend,
thought I'd do the turn there, but RoadRunner terminated him. <sigh>  So
much for that plan... played Half Life instead.  Good game!  Can't buy
it
yet, or I'll never get things painted for GZG-ECC II....

A totally unprovoked attack on peaceful neighbors. Must be the race 
file. Does strange things.
