Well, that was pretty close. You need to toss in magic. It's pretty simple and definitely brings a lot more to the game. MA is a great set to start with. Tossing in some abilities will also broaden her horizons. Thanks, John |

The Orcs have a shaman available, but the campaign system hasn't given him an outing yet. |

He's just trying to sucker her in to playing for money. :) |

Hey Bill. You are using 2nd edition, correct? I think I would teach her the basic rules along with magic and abilities then start a campaign. You will get a lot more out of MA that way. Otherwise it is pretty basic. |

Using first edition at the moment, as I haven't familiarized myself with 2nd edition (though we both have it). Both armies have some abilities, and the Orcs have magic if/when their shaman(s) is available. And we're playing a campaign. Also, "pretty basic" is about what Julia needs at this stage! I don't want to confuse her with lots of details. |

Why not go ahead and dump first? 2nd is a much better set and since nobody plays 1st you'll both be grounded in those basic rules. I own and have played both quite a bit. Those Orcs look familiar. Are those the ones I did? Thanks, John |

Will as soon as I get a chance to skim through 2nd edition.  Those Orcs look familiar. Are those the ones I did? This is your original Orc army, plus another boxed set painted by Fernando to match, then I came in and added a few touches to make the figures blend better, and then everything was rebased. |

Just come across this and it looks fun. Where are the figures you use from? They look 6mm but I could be wrong. Cheers, B |

They're 15mm Mighty Armies from Rebel, I believe: link |
