"Battle-Troll: "Now Stealing Your Cattle & Setting Fire to Your Roof!"" Topic

Beware the sheep !!!!

Rules for Celtic chariot/cattle raids????

Norse saga combat, Sneakgun.

Loose your arrows low !! They are riding Shetland Ponys !!!

Played last week. Great fun! This is seriously straining my no new periods resolve.

"Now Stealing Your Cattle & Setting Fire to Your Roof!"

A family tradition since circa 760 A.D.!

Would this be suitable for the like of Beowulf: any provision for monsters such as Grendel?

any provision for monsters such as Grendel?

Nope. For now it's strictly a historical game, without elves, dwarves, draugr or trolls.

Monsters (as the Norse knew them) will be in the next book. (which will probably not be called "Battle Troll 2: Electric Bugaloo", but you never know…).

BT2: EB will also have rules for visiting far-flung parts of the world, like Britain, France, Russia and (for you Richard Widmark fans) North Africa, with the "Mare of Steel!".

Rules for sailing a ship on these far-flung journies will be included.

Looks like a fun excuse to collect some viking figures… as if anyone needs an excuse for that.

"Nope. For now it's strictly a historical game, without elves, dwarves, draugr or trolls."

Thanks for the clarification: it's just that the name of the rules did suggest monsters were involved. Will BT2 be stand alone or a supplement?

The name 'Battle-Troll' comes from the named axe of Skarp-Hedin, son of Njal. It got him into a lot of trouble he was probably going to get into, anyway.

BT2 (Electric Bugaloo, as Roderick insists) will be a follow on supplement.

MJS, thanks for the clarification.
