Too Fat Lardies

Gentlemen,

Thanks for the responses. I am inclined to not allow the step out plus other card-driven added movement characteristics as well.

I appreciate the prompt and cogent replies.

Just a quick question on step out -- can it be combined with Ambuscade, Tally Ho!, and the free action of skirmishers to add an extra d6 of movement? In the case of Tally Ho!, a unit of, say British Light Dragoons, could (at the gallop) cover 5d6 + 9, on average more than two feet. This is quite sig...

Have you looked at Dashing Dice Games Witchfinder General rules? Here is the website: http://www.dashingdicegames.co.uk/index.html. They might provide some ideas and/or inspiration. This blog has some interesting games/ideas using the above rules: http://pijlieblog.blogspot.com/2013/11/another-night...

Thanks, Richard!! Email has been duly sent.

Thanks, Monty, you are a hero! I included the order number but am happy to provide the email and order date/ship dates as well. Should I email it to you (I saw your email address in one of your posts offering to help another forum member) or send it to Richard via the "contact us" feature/ the "sale...

Thanks, TT. I will wait for Monty to come to the rescue!

I hope this is the appropriate board for this... I placed an order (#21654) for the new Lardie Dice and a set of SP2 tokens (never seem to have enough of those uncontrolled tokens) through the web store.
