I realized we also forgot that an enemy that's wounded in combat and rolls "down" is automatically out-of-action if there are no other friendly models in the combat! timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-48991142015837545802018-02-15T08:45:51.528-08:002018-02-15T08:45:51.528-08:00Really enjoy the system of Shadow Wars, I played a...Really enjoy the system of Shadow Wars, I played a campaign last year. Really fun, Harlequins I played at the beginning of the campaign and they rolled me.(I was Tyranid who are quite beefy at the beginning) Not sure how they are in late game.Jonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06598487047882186755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-4884764029545540492018-02-11T14:51:11.440-08:002018-02-11T14:51:11.440-08:00Thanks Dave!

I don't know? <br /><br />It was pretty shocking when the very first combat outcome was the Ork warboss crushing the Harlequin Troupe Master to death with his Power Klaw... She was certain she'd totally picked the wrong team to play and that Harlequins sucked... Then we remembered the 4+ (50-50) invulnerable save... and then she didn't die... so... yeah... <br /><br />It definitely would have been interesting to see how this all played out if they'd continued! <br /><br />As you say - perhaps the bottle-necking of the underground caverns could provide a bit of a levelling out...? <br />timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-82285087623765391942018-02-11T14:31:15.407-08:002018-02-11T14:31:15.407-08:00I've enjoyed this game except playing against ...I've enjoyed this game except playing against Harlequins. If you play it as written - 'quins should almost never lose unless you are really unlucky. Maybe it gets better if your team is experienced and powered up, but all the mods and special rules make them impossible to hit and kill while at the same time they dice, slice and dance their way across the board. <br /><br />Perhaps except when underground?!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01775343494603941311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-76149338158296961522018-02-08T22:26:48.203-08:002018-02-08T22:26:48.203-08:00Thanks Barks!

It was late, she was tired, things weren't really going her way (largely because we'd forgotten a bunch of stuff that would have helped her - or at least made things harder for the Orks - the fear tests, the +1 to leadership rolls, etc). So I think The Girl was relived when she rolled the 12 and didn't have to "just quit"...timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-8980352645979078602018-02-08T22:22:15.826-08:002018-02-08T22:22:15.826-08:00That looks great!
