Subject: My son's first game!!

My 6 year old Son has officially entered the Hobby. I got officially pummeled
about the head and neck with the greatest number of 5 and 6 rolls i have ever
witnessed in 19 years of gaming. Cackling with glee he sliced apart my
cruisers, Torpedoed the hell out of my Battleship and ground it in by saying:

"That's ok Dad, if you practice, someday you can even win.."

I'm so happy, I think I'll cry....

Now I have to invest in a fleet for him!

That's okay, Mike--you undoubtedly have created a lifetime devotee to
the game. What are a few minutes of humiliation (repeated every time you play,
for the next 20 years) in comparison?

Hee hee, well must get loaded dice... or use what I use when I want to try out
a strat, Statistical Result Resuloshion, that say that you will always
do 2/3
pt damage with a beam if there are no screens.

I'm so happy, I think I'll cry....
