Come to think of it, I was slightly annoyed with and didn't find skillchecks very reasonable back in the day, but imho they even out the advantage of the player's initiative. Of course, if your dice hates you and you get a lot of fails because of that, that can be quite tedious, and pointlessly elongates the game.

Hehe, I was expecting that comment from Warhead.

I sometimes find skillrolls to see if a character gets to block interesting, adds to the heroism of a hero like Marnix who managed to avoid death barely somewhere in the beginning of his last fight, then continued to kick ass.

@Braggalot: I've always played my part. :D

I use skill rolls where it's not important to me either way what happens. I just let the dice do the thinking. If it is Important or suits the story IMO then I'm happy to maybe re-roll or nudge the dice. This doesn't matter when it's a case of Forum Players against NPC goons but not so much when it's forum players vying for supremacy. That shit has to see to itself. Although bonus points go to those with the awesomest orders, again IMO. Initiative is another matter: I always roll a D6 for Initiative per team but add bonus modifiers (+2 to the first three posters, +1 to the next three, +0 to the rest and -1 or -2 to tardy latecomers).

Lances (and some others) have had their skill rates reduced to 4.
And I fixed the Cataplut pic.

I like your fantasy units. My favorite are the Dwarf Warriors. Those guys look rock hard!

When you said Orge, did you mean Ogre or what the byproduct of an Ork orgy is

Heroism is not the ability to kick ass. It is the willingness to use this ability on any poor bastard who so much as looks at you funny.
