Re: Skirmish at Coffa Tree IV

I posted this on Facebook and I am aware I people don’t use it so for the best sample: Hello all. It’s that time of year I start planning Skirmish at Coffa Tree and I have been given an opportunity to possibly make it a two day event this year. I know subject to dates and a few other factors I’d hav...

Re: Skirmish at Coffa Tree IV

Put me in the 1500 gold camp. It gives you a game with a reasonable amount of working parts/tactical depth while also giving you a game that you can get through in a decent time frame. Unless you wanted to change the format slightly and do the event over two days perhaps and have x number of 1500 g...

Hi Lee,

No worries if you let me know there are 4 of us who play and if we plan in advance I’m sure we can organise a few games for a group.

We have Brythoniaid, kthones, Erainn, Atalantes, formoraic and albainn between us.

In terms of time it’s always what did you spend the gold on. If players go for lots of 30-60mm units it cold slow down a bit but if it’s put into a 120mm monster it speeds up.

I am taking this onboard though.

Skirmish at Coffa Tree IV

Hi all, I’m now in the early stages of organising the next Skirmish at Coffa Tree and would like to know what gold value people would like to play. Whilst my main thought is 1500 gold but I also have a leaning to either 1750 or 2000 gold. So to that end I’d like to give the community a choice on thi...

Re: Initiative

Grizzle is correct. Each general, commander and champion can try to retain which can only be done once an attempt. So you cant retain after already successfully retaining and each model can only do it once. You may only do a forced initiative once per game where two units activate at the same time.

Re: Werwulf Wiglere Beckon Invocation

1. The initial price will be 8 plus the number relative to the unit from how I read it, remember its a wulf unit so you'd get a D10 reduction.

2. Yes its a spell.

3. No spell can be done twice in an activation except where a special rule says otherwise.

4. Temper of the battlefield.

Hi Geoff,

The white banners are for normal unit banners and the yellow/gold one are for your host banner. I believe you are limited to one host banner but you can have as many banners in your force as you wish to purchase on top of the required mainstay or two influenced units.
