Darn it!

I need to take both his 10-sided die and his 7-sided die to win. It's pretty close -- if I take
the 7-sided die I have 5 chances in 12 of rolling safe from capture, vs. only 4 chances in 12 if I take the 10-sided die. [anyway, if I roll 11 or 12, it won't matter which one I took]. On the other hand, leaving him his 10-sided die may give him more chances for victory in all cases but when I reroll 10,11, or 12]

What should I do?

There's no doubt that I should take the 6-sided die (wait -- as I think about it, I'm starting to generate
some doubt in my mind!) -- but should I capture with my  6 sided die or my 4 sided die?
I can articulate reasons for both, but the more I think about it, the  less convincing those reasons sound to me.
