A disturbance in the force

[sunjester]

I re-fought the same scenario tonight with Orcs (that's playing against Orcs, not substituting Middle Earth creatures for the French), and it was an overwhelming French/Italian victory, after a hard-fought infantry slog.

Two factors:
1. My first shooting roll of the game was 6 dice, scoring 6 hits. (Back in the game! )
2. Orcs brought the battle to a conclusion by failing (and routing) 5 of his units in morale tests during a single shooting phase, effectively breaking 2 more of his brigades and making it 3 out of 5 Austrian brigades broken, to none of the French/Italians.

Refought the same game with Sunjester last night....... The French won

And I can confirm that the "SUN-Oh did I roll 6 out of 6 hits-JESTER" managed just that twice and an three occasions saved all of 5+ hits on his units.

Back to normality.

Right, from now on we make him use Too Fat Laddie dice.

Right, from now on we make him use Too Fat Laddie dice.

Might be better if we  made him throw d3's- He would move a lot but combat would be more even.
