Concerning battle dice

By Fuertuvius, in Chaos in the Old World

Hi all,

during our first game session yesterday, there rose questions about the battle phase, mainly concerning the dice pool.

1. Is there a battle dice cap?
If calculating the battle dice pool, are the number of dice in the box (5) the maximum number of dice which can be rolled (excluding exploding ones of course)? So if you have a large army in a region which could grant you more than 5 dice, can you roll more or only a maximum of 5 (plus explodes)?

2. Khorne's "Bloodletters" upgrade card
I don't know if that's the correct name of the card, in the german version of the game, it is named "Zerfleischer - Verbesserung: Krieger", but to the question:
It is played like early hits, right? But unlike "Blood frenzy" the bloodletters don't roll again in the main battle, or do they?

Thanks for answers. Overall, i loved the game, great map, multiple ways to play, definitely I'll play ist again!

Best wishes

1) Nope. I think I'll get more dice soon, too, 5 is too few for Khorne a lot of the time.

2) Indeed, yeah.Essentially, whatever is killed by the Bloodletters stays dead and doesn't hit back.

Yes, keep rolling dice until you've rolled all attacks + explosions

Bloodletters killing stuff means it doesn't strike back, and they only get to attack once (so 2 First Strike Dice, no normal dice)
