My turn to hold the Idiot Ball

[Last Hussar]

So...

we are playing a big battle with Black Powder, breaking it down to 6x4 tables (approx. 1 mile x 2/3 mile) as our ongoing campaign.

Brigadier General Cruz, one of mine, is getting a reputation for hanging back, not advancing- a couple of major attacks have failed because of this.

So I am updating the army lists for the end of Day 1.

Guess who has just spotted that Cruz is a Command 9, not a command 8?

Oh bugger.

I'm playing Sunjester - the man with magic dice.  Like I need to make things harder for myself.

Just sneak in a few extra dice on the combat roll

Works for Me !!

Should have gone to SpecSavers .

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

D'oh!

[fsn]

I don't know what that means, but if there's an idiot ball, will I get an invitation?   



It's funny how you know something, would swear on a stack of Donald Featherstone books that it is true, but then you go back and ... you've been wrong.

Something FSN doesn't know? Umpossible!

Idiot ball is a phrase from TV Tropez, coined by a scriptwriter. It is when a character does something stupid, usually because the plot demands it.

Command in BP is higher the better,like warmaster - roll command or less on 2d6 to give an order.
