Please accept my humble apologies. Glen

Verse 3

I looked forward to a Full Thrust night, Of battles galore and many a good
fight.

Without he who rolls many sixes, So much so that I need many fixes.

But then along comes another, Who does roll dice like no other.

Verse 4

Why oh why do they roll more sixes than not, While my many pulse torp rolls
have only one dot.

I even brought cookies of chocolate chip, But those ungrates still blew up my
ship.

But I should not think I am playing in vain, At least for the others I do
entertain.

Verse 5 (my apologies to those who wrote Mambo #5)

A little bit of pulse torps in my side, a bit of beam dice is not what I need,
many rerolls storming in like the tide, and a lot of salvos that make me
bleed.

Oh. Okay, I see your problem. You are suffering from a Kochte
Effect, while your opponents have a Teske Field.   I suggest you
burn your dice and buy good ones, preferably the white ones that used to come
in Avalon Hill games (I don't want to think about how long it's been since I
bought an AH game), they always had good mana for me. If that doesn't work,
you might want to think about taking up bowling or something.
