Newb question - block dice

Having multiple very old BB sets (1st, 2nd ed), we have no block dice and are organizing a new league (haven't played in a very long time) using the LRB v5 rules.

As a result, I have a very simple noob question. There are 6 sides on a d6 and 5 results on the block table, which one occupies two faces so we can fake block dice?

Thanks

Hey man =)

The Pushed Result.

In general, the dice rolls are considered to correspond with these numbers respectively:

1: Attacker Down
2: Both Down
3: Pushed
4: Pushed
5: Defender Stumbles
6: Defender Down

A Good example of this is Impact! Miniature's dice as shown here:

Thank you very much!

And for the link. $18 seems a bit high for three dice, but I definetely one that spends money on my hobbies, so if our league sticks and we play regularly, I'll be buying some I'm sure.

The $18 ones were custom dice from Chessex, where you could choose the colour of both the dice and the ink, from a list of 40-odd.

Iirc, there are meant to be "normal" Impact dice in the store sometime this month, at about $6 or $7 for 3.
