Great battle report, I'm just starting out and would love to see more of these videos in the same educational format (including Saxons and/ or Normans).

Awesome video - would like more like this format. As a new player, one thing I've found really important to distinguish is that some activations are "free", meaning they don't require a saga die, some activations do not generate fatigue if they normally would, and some activations don't count towards the accumulation of fatigue from later activations of the same unit. These are not the same thing. Now some abilities may have some combination of the above, so it's been important for me to keep these three concepts clear while playing.

@RodgeRules 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you Daniel! You are correct about those different types of activations and will make a special effort to note if any of those apply in future batreps!

@@RodgeRules The Spanish! I know the crusade book labels them as the hardest. But I always choos factions based on the rule of cool rather than on other factors. Hopefully it wont be a problem

Thank you for the very informative video, Rodge! By the way, where did you get that amazing looking dice box? Was it custom built?

@RodgeRules Жыл бұрын

Thank you! It was indeed a custom build. I have a buddy very knowledgeable in such things who put it together!

@chizj7874 2 жыл бұрын

Question: turn 3 at 42:43 you used javalins. You stated one of the models was out of range. If it’s out of range can it still generate an attack? So a 12 model unit generates 6 dice but if one is out would it be five?

@RodgeRules 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Chizj! They generate 1 shooting attack for every 2 models and in SAGA you always round up any fractions, so 11 or 12 figures is 6 attack dice, 9 or 10 is 5, etc. Hope that helps!

i've heard berserkers referred to as "shock troops" in the past. in the event that you dont want to refer to them as suicide squads in the future.

Good to know!

@worm1618 5 ай бұрын

@1:20:07, how did you gain nine attack dice for sacrificing three berserkers if you can't gain more bonus bonus attack dice than you have figures in your unit (1 fig = 1 dice)?

@RodgeRules 5 ай бұрын

You're confusing Step 2 with Steps 3 and 4 of Melee. Go back and re-read those bits.

You can get the info on my figs in the Heathen Show and Tell video. Zach's figs are Wargames Factory plastics (also painted by me and many had their poses converted).

How did your opponent activate Noble Lineage when he didn't have all three of those dice? Or does he only need one of those symbols to activate it?

@RodgeRules 25 күн бұрын

Some abilities are marked with a "+" which indicate the two dice you need to use it. The rest (vast majority) just need a single die so if there are 2 or 3 shown, you can use any of those.
