Sorry, TTM, I'm confused.

Throw-team mate rule...
I've read through the rule book, and it doesn't add up..

Hired Troll for my Orc team - AG of 1.

To TTM, to throw a quick pass needs a 6, correct?
But with TTM, add 1 to the range, so it becomes a short pass needing a 7.

Have I got this completely wrong, or is is impossible to TTM a goblin with a Troll?

Sorry, I feel like a right bungle for asking this, but need help!

If i'm going wrong, please tell me where. I kept wondering why my rats kept dying, until we realized that an armour roll has to BEAT the armour value...

Thanx all,
Craig.

A 6 always succeeds, and a 1 is always a fumble. So, for a quick pass (TTM) it's a fumble on 1, accurate on 6 and inaccurate on 2-5.

He's correct you know. Mepmuff, the best halfling thrower in The Netherlands! :wink:

And for a short pass (+1 = long pass) fumble on a 1 or 2, inaccurate on 3-5 and accurate on 6. etc...

Though there are rules for rolling a seven. BB doesn't use these. Mepmuff explained it right.

And for a long pass (+1 = long bomb) fumble on a 1, 2 or 3, inaccurate on 4-5 and accurate on 6.

Yeah, and treat a long bomb the same way as a halfling throwing a long bomb! :lol:

In BB, nothing is impossible mate. I've seen a mummy (AG1) intercept an opponent's pass in 4 tackle zones. A 6 always works, no matter how crazy what you're doing is.

It's the corrolary of what we called "GW's naked halfling baby save". If you're playing Warhammer, and you shoot at a naked halfling baby (Toughness 0.0001) with a wood elf longbow and short range, and hit, if you roll a 1 to punch, somehow the naked halfling baby's tough skin protects it from the arrow and it bounces away harmlessly.
