Got a game in this past Sunday at my local game store … broke out the Fort for "looks" … details and pictures are up on my blog: link |

Sounds like a busy day with Saga and board games! |

Indeed … there are worse things one can do ;-) |

That game looked great! I'm curious about 'throwing tomahawks' in the rules. Never heard of this in a rule set before. What's the range? Any thoughts on it? Thanks, John |

6" range … They are technically called thrown weapons (see pg.28 of the rules). You have to throw them at the start of your movement and they don't trigger a reaction test … Great way to soften up a target before laying down some melee hurt. Thanks! |

I'm curious as to the scale of the game? Is it 1:1? If not, I cannot make it work in my head that Indians threw a volley like Romans before close combat. Never heard or read about that before. Thanks, John |

Hey John, Tomahawks are not limited to just Indians … Rangers have them and other units … I would call it 1:1 although I don't think it explicitly calls that out. It isn't really all that effective … but it is fun :-) |
