Cheapskate - > Cheapskate -> Roll the dice for savings on toy soldiers
Roll the dice for savings on toy soldiers

We recently ran a package of stories on miniatures gaming. Well, now one of the stores that caters to enthusiasts is having a sale: 10d6 percent off on Warmachine and Hordes figures.

The way it works, technically, is this: For every item, you get to roll 2d6 (that's two six-sided dice). If it comes up a 1, you get to reroll. (If it comes up a 1 again, you get to reroll until it's not a 1, which is a violation of the rules of almost every game but works well for our purposes.) The maximum number of dice you can roll is 10.

The sale doesn't apply to books, and it doesn't apply to other lines — no Warhammer, no D&D, no Yu-Gi-Oh.

I went there last night and picked up full units of Immortals, Kayazy Assassins with Underboss, Kossite Woodsmen, two catapults and Yuri the Axe — $250 worth of figures for $150, after rolling a 42.

The sale at The Gaming Experience lasts through the end of June. There are a bunch of people just starting out, so if you want to join the addictionhobby, now's the time to start.
