You missed a potential joke/reference, one that I used to use all the time when I was teaching people to play: Good ol' Morpheus from the Matrix, saying "How did I beat you?" Of course, it is rather dated at this point...

It's the most cogent question to ask. Look at the game from the other side of the table and try to imagine what you did to give them victory. Once you understand how to do that, you can start the next step: During the course of the game itself, look at the game from the other side of the table, understand what they need to achieve victory, and then deny it.

Now, there HAVE been games I've lost that were definitely due to dice. Chaos Space Marines should NOT fail four out of five saving throws, or only hit one out of three attacks. I lost 43 out of 51 CSMs in three turns, and only four of those were to weapons that removed their saves. For a year before that game, that set of dice had average luck (they were fancy Games Workshop d6s I'd won in a tournament), after that they were RUINED, losing game after game, and I ended up destroying them in a fire.

I know this blog since monday o last sunday and. I love it. Great work its funny interesting and I m learning a lot!
