This is the first acting and writing credit for Molly Bishop, who plays Jenny Parker.
After the mess dinner in episode two and Tom Parker visiting the soldiers' residence in episode three, the dice game they play is called hazard. It is a game played with two dice, often for money. The player's main point is determined on his first throw--any number from 5 to 9, inclusive. There is no limit to the number of players. Hazard was an early English game with fairly complicated rules mentioned in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, and was popular in the 17th and 18th centuries.
