Warhammer 40K Tabletop VII: Common Sense is not RAW.

[Cheesegear]

In defence of statistics, you cannot escape it. You will use it every game. You will shoot that termie unit instead of the scouts in cover with the plasma because you know statistically it will reap the greatest result. Stop running.

Yeah, but, that's common sense, rather than statistics. You don't need statistics to figure out that S7, AP2 is better than S4, AP5. However, I'm not prepared to say how much more effective a Plasmagun is over a Bolter. I'm not prepared to say how many casualties I should get.

I acknowledged that statistics has it's place. But, I also know that 40K doesn't play averages and when you most need a 2+, you'll roll a one. Because Chance plays a greater roll than Statistics.
Or, because Tzeentch hates you and laughs at your 'statistical averages' and then watches you lose because of that exact dice roll...Just as Planned.

I hope we can change the witty slogan to one of the ones people enjoyed in the last thread, like "Waaagh! Uh, what is it good for?" or even a DoW one about THE EMPRAH!

The problem I have with it, is that it doesn't really have anything to do with the thread except that some people like it. Some people also like this title too. So...
