Well, that, and the fact that in the original book the troopers also carried

Lessee, here... wow! Rolled a three to hit! That will be 25,000 dice of

That will take awhile to roll up, I think...

I would submit that there are serious scalability issues here - perhaps an
adaptation of "Aliens" might be a better idea.
