Title: Middle Earth: Battle in the Barrowdowns
Post by: sunjester on 29 July 2024, 04:20:06 PM
Orcs and Last Hussar came over for a game on Saturday and we played a big battle Tolkien-themed game, which made a change from all the skirmish gaming I have been doing recently.

So were Sunjesters dice.
Last Hussar managed to throw a 1 for about a third of all his dice.

I threw 2s.

It was Orcs that threw the 1s.

I did keep track at one point, when between us Orcs and I rolled 13 dice on the trot all 3 or under.

You can see the quality of our dice throwing by the fact LH is boasting he threw 2's

Orcs and I had a rematch to try out a couple of minor tweaks in the rules. https://grahamsgaming.blogspot.com/2024/08/re-fight-in-barrowdowns.html
