My friends and I came to the same conclusion WRT the dice in CA/FF having
too much influence. We have decided to play several games where we use
average dice (for those who've never played WRG, they have the 1 and 6
replaced by a 3 and 4) in CA/FF, as a play test. The last game we played,
there were two Close Assults, the dice rolls were 1 vs 5, and 1 vs 6.
Needless to say, my ally and I got our butts kicked, and it seemed to all
com down to those two dice rolls. It didn't impress the guy whose first
game this was.
