Burrows & Badgers: A Skirmish Game of Anthropomorphic Animals

Product Information

Barnabus peers from the window of the cottage where he is positioned and fires two poisoned arrows at Hugo Blackriver. In the meantime, here are the first members of the Dirty Paws (the rest of the warband can be seen HERE). 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.

You can use an ACT Action to load a slow-loading weapon, drink a potion, apply blade poison, swap a weapon, etc. It reminds me of the novel series 'Redwall' , a fantastic saga surrounding the adventures of a timid turned warrior mouse and his wars against stoats, foxes etc. Meanwhile, the Chosen have been watching the village closely and have sniffed out the stash of explosives at the blacksmiths.Nigel Nimblepaw hides behind a tree and Ted Delver burrows beneath one of the dwellings to advance towards Tommy Skump. It covers all the basic 4Ms but there are not a lot of "limits" in place and it will largely be a matter of target priority. I’m not sure how appropriate the title of this post is, given the amount of inaction that has been evident on this blog for some time, but I’ve been inspired to re-awaken the Greasy Goblin partly because I’ve been wanting to get some more Burrows and Badgers gaming underway and also I’ve been prompted by the news that Michael Lovejoy is in the early stages of writing a new edition of the rulebook, likely to be published in 2025. It’s an event that rarely disappoints when it comes to edge-of-your-seat thrills, spills and a smattering of eggstreme violence! I have made only one minor change to the procedure that is set out on the rules and I’ll mention it because it’s relevant to one of the Actions.

Examples and Explanations Wild Billy makes a MOVE Action to join his comrades in a fight against a ferocious badger.A mouse fighter will want some armour, maybe a shield, and ideally be backed up by a couple more mice! Each model has a card with all the stats needed and checkboxes to mark wounds (not too many, 4-5 life usually per model) so the table is kept clean at all times despite some light token bookkeeping. 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. Hettie Slugg sprints across to one of the cottages and takes cover while Bogen the toad stays hidden behind a barricade.

Random shower thought: Postage (I'm Australian btw) is now making GW look cheap compared to other manufacturers. Medium Birds are fairly average, but d8 Nimbleness and Flight makes them good at avoiding missile fire and redeploying across the tabletop.New arrowheads, weapons and armour are all purchased along with some spell ingredients and some superior black powder. The fox is out of action and the Chosen have succeeded in preventing the leader of the Hired Paw reporting to his employer. I have never really documented the way I like to play the game, partly because I know there’s a good chance I’m going to make further changes at some point down the line – just can’t leave things alone! She’s not up a height so she doesn’t suffer any wounds for falling but her Action ends in the stream. However, his general strength has improved (gains strength skill) and he ends the campaign with a very respectable 24 Experience Points.
