Are we doing things wrong?

Post by captain spaulding »

Hello all,

Probably a stupid question but...

I've just started a small league with a couple of mates, all of us don't have that much expierence. After playing around with the dice app from ninjahamster, I think we've misread something. When rolling to break armour, say my opponent has AV8. Do I have to roll a 8 or a 9 to break armour? The way we've been playing is that you have to roll an 8.

Also I seem to remember that when fouling, you get a +1 on the diceroll for fouling and then add assists. But I can't find it in the rulebook anymore, was this changed?

Thank in advance!

For armour rolls you need to exceed the armour value. Roll 8 to break armour 7 for example.

As for fouling the rules are the same I believe with the addition of +1 for each bloke assisting.

Hope that helps

You no longer get the +1 for the fouler though, it is only for the assists

Thanks guys!

Guess I've got some explaining to do on the next league night, Killed a witch elf fouling (wouldn't have busted armour without +1 for the fouler), killed a blitzer with a snotling blocking and gave -ag to a lineman last game. None of witch would have happened if we aplied the rules properly :oops:

I think I'll offer him a rematch :wink:

Yeah, I'm not worried about that. But losing 1-2 of my ogres, and having 2 of you're best players killed made him a bit sad to say the least :wink:

But as you say, we're all good friends so we'll sort it out. Live and learn :wink:

Just blame it on hard frozen wintery pitches... was giving +1 to armour rolls for that week only before under-soil heating was installed by some fire wizards ;)
