Many games and rules, these days, are calling for types of dice other than the conventional 6-sided type. Most commonly called for are 20-sided and twelve-sided dice, but other types could also come in handy. We have been able to secure a supply of these "odd" dice. They come in a small, clear plastic, zip-lock bag and consist of one each 4-sided (yellow), 6-sided (pink), 8sided (green), 12-sided (blue), and 20- sided (white). All of them, including the 6-sided, have numerals on the faces, instead of dots. The 20-sided die is numbered 0-9 twice and thus makes an excellent percentage die. The 6-sided die is 5/8" long on each side and the others are about the same size, overall, or larger, and made of hard lastic. The set of one of each type sorry, we can't break the sets) sells for $4.00, and is available from Panzerfaust Publications, PO Box 896, Fallbrook, CA 92028. Miniature Warfare
