Burrows & Badgers: A Skirmish Game of Anthropomorphic Animals

Product Information

Nigel Nimblepaw moves in to fend off the enraged starling, but before he even moves Gulliver Swift shoots an arrow at the dormouse, wounds him and stops him in his tracks. She makes a MOVE Action to make contact with the weasel and them makes an Ambush Roll-off but with a modifier of –1 because there is another enemy within 6″ of the target. Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.

are very capable tanks; armour them up, give them a shield, and they’ll absorb a lot of hits without too much harm. It’s just going to be a case of getting to the graves first or, if that fails, preventing the enemy running off with the loot. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for Bob Brassbludd who expires as a result of the injuries he suffered at the paws of Rufus Grimspike.Ollie was hit and the egg was shattered, along with the Hunters’ lead and their hopes for an easy victory. Unfortunately for Barnabus, he fumbles the pick-up and only manages to move the chest a short distance.

All of the Hired Paw were taken out of action and only Gripper Pinchbottom escapes permanent injury. Rufus, the leader, shows the way by collecting a barrel of blackpowder from the blacksmiths, hauling it across to the Inn and throwing it into the building. Billy pushes his adversary back and because the badger is hemmed in by a model on the other side, it suffers another wound!

They ended the day with 2 white eggs and 2 yellow eggs, a total of 6 points, while the Rangers had amassed a total of 10 points with their 2 white eggs, 1 yellow egg and 2 blue eggs. The players may opt to have a model make one or no Actions if they wish but should declare how many Actions they intend to take when the model is activated. The damage to their burrow was not extensive but the Chosen cannot let such an act of aggression go unchallenged. And later, when he had the leader of the Rangers, Fenella Fox, firmly in his sights, his weapon misfired, leaving the fox free to continue her egg-hunting! However they know that they are unlikely to survive much longer unless they can take down the Hired Paw’s leader.

The Ambush modifiers are designed to simulate the chances of one of the targeted model’s comrades spotting the ambusher and alerting the targeted model. Flora makes a SHOOT Action as her first Action and then uses an ACT Action to equip herself with a sword so if the otter moves and attacks, she will not suffer a –2 modifier for being Unarmed. The Chosen warband once again retreat from this southeastern quarter of the village of Warren Percy. A model that has used a ranged weapon or cast a spell during their Activation is considered to be Unarmed for the remainder of the turn unless they use an ACT Action to arm themselves with a close combat weapon. Just as it is a good idea for a film reviewer to have seen lots of films, so it is a good idea for a game reviewer to have read and played lots of games.Although this particular game was over fairly swiftly, I think the scenario works quite nicely on the whole. If an ambusher attacks or shoots at the target model in their Activation then Roll-off Concealment (with modifiers) against the target’s Awareness.

Shrews are very similar, but their slightly higher Block stat makes them a bit tougher in a fight, and their d8 Fortitude makes them acceptable casters of Natural, Dark and Wild magic. Hugo Blackriver visits some ancient stones where he finds himself blessed with magical abilities (gains a spell). You can use an ACT Action to load a slow-loading weapon, drink a potion, apply blade poison, swap a weapon, etc. He weaves round Roger Rumbottle and Hugo Blackriver and escapes the battlefield, hauling the paychest with him.

Meanwhile Barnabus, once again employing his evasion tactics, slips past Hugo Blackriver, hauling the paychest with him. It’s essentially a treasure hunting scenario with the additional danger of randomly appearing wraiths. However, the fox has not reckoned on Roger Rumbottle, who is capable of putting on a burst of speed.
