Solo in a minute

@mikemearlsCouple people asked – in mass combat, a solo attacks a stand using a normal attack. Rules assume solo is making lots of attacks. Attached Solos as well? Take 10 turns (spells, attacks, skill checks) during the 1 minute their Unit performs a Battle Action? — Sean Bonney (@seanbonney) March 3, 2015 @seanbonney the system […]

Stand Hit points

Solo Attacks

Couple people asked – in mass combat, a solo attacks a stand using a normal attack. Rules assume solo is making lots of attacks. — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) March 2, 2015 Think of Legolas, Gimli, or Aragorn slicing through orcs in the big battle scenes in the LotR films. — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) March 2, […]

Battlesystem 1 square

@DanLovatClark I like it, seems to be a good balance of “stand” vs. “solo” characters. One question: is 1 square away different from adjacent? nope — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) March 2, 2015 @DanLovatClarkSo skirmishers and regiments both have the same restriction for unit integrity? 0 replies 0 retweets 0 favorites blargh – nope, my original […]
