[New Player] Question about terrain

By FrancisH, in Battlelore

Hey,

I just purchased Battlelore the other day and have played the first battle a few times (and love the game by the way), but I have a question about terrain dice restrictions and cards that give you +d.

ie. If a unit is in a wooded terrain and the enemy unit is attacking it but has played a card that allows them to battle with +1d, does that mean that they are allowed to attack that unit in the wooded terrain with however many dice they are allowed + 1, or does the terrain still reduce the number down to 2d only, even with the dice bonus?

Thanks for any help!

Francis

Anyone else correct me if I am wrong here. But based on what I have ready here is the order of modify dice. Troops description (Blue 3 Dice etc) --> Terrain (Forest 2in/2 out), --> Command Card (I.E. Mounted Charge (+1 dice) --> Lore Card (+1 Dice). So if I had a Blue Cavalry Troop (3 Die) going into Forest (2 Die) on Mounted Charge (+1 Die for a total of 3 Die) + A lore card that allowed +1 Die I would be able to attack with 4 Die.

The exception for this is if a card says "Nothing can Change this Number"

No need to correct you, Lothiam - you've got it.

Awesome!

Thanks Lothiam and toddrew, much appreciated.

My mounted unit enters a Forest terrain, getting in the range of an enemy archer. He cannot attack my unit right? But the other way around would be fine, an archer shooting ranged arrows while inside a forest (up to 2d).

Thanks

As long as nothing else is blocking the line of sight, then yes, the archers may attack the mounted unit in the forest hex. I kinda wish that BL had the same rule as C&C:Ancients in this matter: 1d into forest for ranged attacks.

This is still confusing to me...

The forest cuts his dice down to 2 then the other cards (Mounted Charge/Lore Card) buffs him back up to 4. Right?

Yep. Just remember take troop base...modify that for terrain then add in command and lore cards...at least in my understanding.

Thank you very much
