Hi John First of all the death of the Witch-King from the chapter of RoTK "The Battle of Pelennor Fields". "she (Eowyn) stumbled to her knees. He (The...
Hi Col, Good stuff. The problem with geeks (that's you and I) are that we want to find the iron clad answer to everything. I personally take the middle road...
... want to ... Either, in theory could, except that Witchie-poo was too good a fighter. So I agree wholeheartedly with you on this one. ... A sword in the...
Col, on p.1 of SBH you can find the sizes of measuring sticks for 25mm. Please make the three sticks, don't use a ruler -- it's different. The models can move...
also please read the clarifications on movement in SGD, "Movement can't be broken in smaller steps". If you don't use sticks, it's easy to fall in the mistake...
... Hmmmm...I've always thought yes. I think the movie gives it wings. The video game certainly has it with wings. Even GW gives the critter wings. So,...
I believe they have wings, but cannot use them to fly. If that makes sense. I'm definitely enjoying all the LOTR discussion going on in this group. Really...
... Hi Ben Now you started something. My answer to this Balrog's don't have wings. They are surrounded by darkness. This is referred to by Tolkien when he says...
This is a bit of a basic question, but I've only played games so far without magic users, and I just realized I'm that clear on the magic rules. --Player...
Mike, the idea wit SBH was to keep the rulebook short for cost reasons and also to look less intimidating. After some time I plan to make a deluxe version , ...
Hi all: This is my first message in the forum. I recently acquired SoBaH and SoGaD and I am delighted with the system. Fast, fun, and detailed enough for quick...
... on SBH? ... fun and ... Mmmm... Not sure. SBH is a very good tabletop game, but in my experience, roleplayer prefer complicated games full of statistics. ...
The consensus in my gaming group is that he had wings and could just enhance his running/jumping speed by flapping them, not truly flying. I'd give Long move...
I start to think that the file got corrupted when I copied on another drive (the PC I use for art/design purposes is not connected to the PC I use to connect...
... You've done a really nice job with these. I've purchased several assorted lots of the Heroquest figures via eBay, and I like them a lot. They are sort...
I actually prefer this old stuff. It is clear and clean. I hate the new GW stuff, it looks like bugs are crawling all over the minis-- too many details that...
I know what you mean about the GW figures. These days they seem to make their figures more and more intricate, regardless of whether it's appropriate. Making...
One of the things I find funny about the whole winged critter arguement is that much of the arguement is about splitting hairs. The fact that Tolkien used...
Hi Andrea, One of the things you can do is have a points based system and a force pool as well. Basically, players buy from a menu of troops. However, there...
John, the way I was doing it, was: player designs a larger force than needed in the typical game, say player designs 2000 pts of warriors and personalities,...
Not really. I did not include how to come up with the master roster but a 2000 point force would be ideal with only a portion being used at any one time. I...
All magic user variants so far (Necromancer, Sorcerer, Summoner) are able to use spells as tanged attacks, yes or no? Also, only the Necromancer special...
A Sorcerer may look more desiderable than a magic-user, but it must be evil, and therefore should be only in evil warbands... as mixing good and evil is not...
Thanks John, the gaming board is 450mm x 900mm (basically a 1 and a half foot by 3 foot table) I find that this is a good size for skirmish games. (I prefer 2...
well, the only problem is that some model will run back and forth towards the table edge as they fail morale rolls in one turn and the player moves them back...
... This is a rule that Workshop had with the first couple of versions of their Lord of the Rings game. It not just had toing and froing across the battlefield...
Col, the problem here is that players come to SBH with experience in other games and assume things that I never wrote :-) It is difficult for me to understand...
Hi folks I'm new to the group. I played and enjoyed my first game last week and immediately ordered both sets of rules (SoBH and SoGD) which arrived this week....
Hi Mark, If it were DBx, I'd agree. :) You are missing an important point. When a model loses, there is a 50% chance that it will be knocked down. If it is...
