I searched on line for aquarium windmills for quite some time - didn't see any I really liked, and many were fairly expensive especially when shipping was added. Good luck exploring, though!

I always think there is something exciting about seeing such a large quantity of dice together, even if most are used as markers or counters as you say. I suppose it just shouts out "game on" or something similar to me.Lawrence Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626386564817082992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-65887339890052291142015-04-16T07:26:59.212-04:002015-04-16T07:26:59.212-04:00It seems that great minds think alike! :-)It seems that great minds think alike! :-)Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-70485902144304683042015-04-15T06:18:01.456-04:002015-04-15T06:18:01.456-04:00Looks interesting.

You don't (usually) roll huge numbers of dice, but you do "consume" the red dice as they are used. Each action you takje costs you 1 or two red dice (your cholice), plus free "green dice" (essentially being the tactical modifiers), plus (possibly) zero to 5 yellow command dice - the yellow dice are replenished once a turn, and once they're used for that turn there are no more until they are restored - see the Die Fighting label at the side for much more DF/DF2 info.Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-49223714847656604062015-04-14T17:32:02.767-04:002015-04-14T17:32:02.767-04:00Good work on the table set ups for the Big Day!
