Starting a thread for the play-test rules of Burrows and Badgers. Download the rules, roster sheets and extra stuff here!I also strongly suggest people who are interested, join the Facebook group. Again, I can't stress enough, these rules are in the play-testing phase and constantly changing. Wes and I have been dabbling with it for a little over a month and it's already changed considerably in a short period. The intent is for us to explore the rules, make notes of our games and then give feedback to Oathsworn on issues that arise, or things that need fixing.

Vince and I are in. We have downloaded the rules and all but I have not looked at them yet. Keeping my focus on Sharp Practice. I have to make some water terrain so Wes can wash his boots.

So on reading the SP rules further, if the Tiffin card is drawn from the top of the deck first, it represents the end of a Chapter. It specifically says any result that requires water is assumed to be resolved at this point.

We should start a SP rules thread in the historical gaming forum so we can post info like that. I have all my figures re-based on single squares now. Looking into water terrain.

Several updates out today. Did you see those yet? It looks like they're mostly tweaks; No real ruleset changes.
Changelog: 15th March 2017
- 5 shaded Wound boxes on Warband roster
- added some basic rules to p.8, covering rounding fractions down, rolling a dice to decide issues, and stating a dice may only be re-rolled once.
- p.16 added a description of what constitutes vertical or horizontal terrain, and added low terrain features (moving/fighting over walls, basically)
- p.18 added that an Attacker must face towards the target model, and attacking through Difficult terrain

Yes I saw that today. Vince and I have it. I was looking over minis. There is a started Rogue set which includes
Marmot Mercenary Fox Brigand Pug Bounty Hunter Otter Rogue Dormouse Archer Squirrel Rogue.
Possible Additional models I want to get are Mole Friar Rat Assassin Black Rat Witch Black Rat Thug Shrew Warrior Beagle Tracker
Any thoughts? I have not read through everything yet to know what is good or I might need.

I've only played with a single-species rat band so far, but I'd say pick up a big hitter like a Badger as well. Might be worth putting together a rough outline of your starting warband on paper. The starting pennies do not go very far, especially with how much equipment costs. 5-6 starting characters seems to be the norm, and even then they're under-equipped. I'd try to hit 6 to postpone routing rolls for one additional casualty.

Good idea, I will do that. I am trying to get over the 30 pound mark so I will get free shipping.

Thanks Wes. I'll be over 30 but if you want to add a couple I can do that.
What do the skills stand for?

Outside of Move, the rest of the skills are paired. Strike vs Block, etc
