Capt Fortier's post explains the strange request for dice we received from somewhere in the Pacific written in Hiragana.

Richard is doing the final print layout as we speak. British & Commonwealth forces are being done first with others to follow.

Their marginal utilit...

You asked for it!! As an inveterate rules tinkerer and someone infatuated with minutia, I cannot resist making house rules to reflect my research and understanding. I'll try and avoid spamming this thread. To start with, for those of us who have models of 3"/81mm mortar teams and would like to use t...
