"I just read the review and have one question. The skill of the defending miniature plays no part in the out come of combat only armor class plus speed matters on defense?"

Correct. This is the same as their other skirmish rules.

And the Destiny roll is indeed a generic saving roll, again the same as in their other rules. Blood Eagle calls it the Fate roll, In Her Majesty's Name I think calls it Luck

Thud & Blunder Is the New Fantasy Skirmish Game From The Ministry of Gentlemanly Warfare

Thud & Blunder

In Their Words:

Thud & Blunder is a set of generic fantasy-skirmish wargaming rules from The Ministry of Gentlemanly Warfare, whose authors have previously brought you In Her Majesty's Name, Daisho, and Blood Eagle.

With just five to 15 figures a side, you can play a party of brave adventurers, a knight and his retinue, a college of powerful wizards, a company of Dwarven prospectors, a patrol of Elven rangers, a warparty of Orc raiders, a foul necromancer and his Undead minions, and so many more classic fantasy warbands. The book provides numerous example warbands and all the tools you need to create almost any warband that you can imagine, including a detailed and open points system. The rules cover a wide range of armor and weapons, including magical versions. You will also find statistics for a variety of beasts and legendary beasts, rules for flyers, a comprehensive system of magical powers, and much, much more.

Thud & Blunder is not tied to a specific world. This means you can play your games in any fantasy setting you choose, including realms of your own devising.

The rules are designed to be really quick to learn and fast in play. As with all our games, they are well-supported with their own dedicated Facebook page and a blog that includes free additional material from both authors and players.

This is the skirmish game many fantasy wargamers have been waiting for. It puts the creative power in your hands.
