I lost 12 of the first 14 games of Warhammer 40K I played with a certain group of guys.
Guys that I taught how to play, actually.
I still ruled the place when it came to Necromunda, though...
Wow, that was a long time ago.
I try to learn from a loss, and to correct mistakes (I make a lot of mistakes... especially in Deployment: Deployment is half the fight).
Edit: Here's a good story from the Way-Back Machine™: Back in the days of Second Edition, when Jump-pack Assault Marines had to roll for scatter... the very first Blood Claw I moved (they deployed by doing the jumping-out-of-a-Rhino move) deviated right into a stand of trees, got wounded, and promptly failed his armor save.
My first move of the game, and I killed one of my own men (a tough-guy Space wolf, impaled on a fir tree)!
