I finally had some time to do some painting last night and thought I’d paint along to one of @biglee.bsky.social ‘s videos when suddenly I heard him mention my rules!! Thanks so much Lee for the kind and thoughtful review!

How to play ‘Orrible Little Men: Part 7: Army Morale Each player’s starting army morale is calculated before the battle begins as follows: The points value of the battle (eg. 60 points) divided by 10 (eg. 60 points / 10 = 6). Then roll a D6, on a 4+ they add 1 to their starting army morale

How to play ‘Orrible Little Men: Part 6: The Combat Phase Models that are in base contact with any number of enemy models make a single combat roll each. The Elven knights (heavy cavalry) require combat rolls of 4+, while the skeletons (light infantry) require combat rolls of 5+

How to play ‘Orrible Little Men: Part 5: The Shoot Phase A unit of Elven archers (light infantry with bows) are shooting at a unit of zombies (horde infantry). All of their models are further than 12” from their target, but within their maximum range of 24”, so they require rolls of 6 to hit.

How to play ‘Orrible Little Men: Part 4: The Charge Phase In this example, a unit of Elven knights (heavy cavalry) are attempting to charge a unit of skeleton warriors. As they are a cavalry unit, the knights charge 2D6”. They roll 11 on the 2D6, and therefore charge up to 11” into the enemy.

How to play ‘Orrible Little Men: Part 3: The Move Phase Infantry units, such as this unit of Elven archers (light infantry armed with bows) may move up to 6”.

How to play ‘Orrible Little Men: Part 1: What you need to play You will need: - a tape measure in inches - some regular 6-sided dice - an army (the Elven army shown here is an average 60 point army) - a table and some model terrain
