The mechanics of shooting, melee and morale are now consistent and streamlined.<br /><br />Probably the biggest change is the introduction of the system used in "Donnybrook" (by the same publishers). Troops of different quality now roll different dice (D6, D8 and D10), but the method of determining how many dice and what score is required is the same. Now it is just "take so many dice of this shape, apply modifiers and count any modified scores of at least X as successes.<br /><br />Most of the rest remains the same and there is no irritating rebasing of all those troops you had based for a previous version of the rules.<br /><br />I would say the changes are well thought out and make for a more playable game, that is easier to pick up for first timers.<br /><br />Vince<br />Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691369848035290908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2328566982075412654.post-21213074417476645032018-04-22T18:26:25.122+01:002018-04-22T18:26:25.122+01:00Spectacular and inspiring report, so many beautifu...Spectacular and inspiring report, so many beautiful uniforms all around!
