Last time I checked it wasn't on the new US/UK GW site, so we need to rely on the archive site

I got this off The Last Alliance forums I think, great place for LOTR gaming period.

Hope you enjoy, I find BC games a blast and a great way to explore tactics with a faction before trying them out in a bigger game. Also, its probably the role-player in me coming out as I see heroes grow, and the sadness when they occasionally need to be removed.

Speaking of which, anybody have a house rule/rules that deals with injuries to heroes eg arm, leg wounds? I've had more than one hero having to retire due to picking up 2 arm or leg wounds. Surely there must be a practical way to see if the wounds heal? I was trhinking of a dice roll each battle after the battle when the injury is sustained, or maybe it could be like the Old Battle Wound/Niggling Injury only that it is deemed to be healed on a D6 roll of 6 before a game. Or allow the player to use an Influence dice or more than one to check, each failed attempt adds 1 to the next roll etc. Or both combined.

My regular opponents and I already have a house rule to deal with failed attempts to advance - each failure adds 1 to the next dice roll, so it takes max 15 experience to upgrade a normal trooper, heroes become easier to come by too!

You might look into the Mordheim injury tables. The rules used to be free on the specialist games site.

Thanks for the heads up elijah, didnt think of that. Will do

whoa, forgot about this thread, thanks for the heads up.
