Friday we had our first game. Vikings against the Scottish.

We had the following situation:
1 unit of 5 viking warriors attacked 1unit of 7 scottish levies with an armor of 3. The Vikings had 5 attack dice of there own +1 from a capacity. There was a dice on the Give ground capacity of the Scottish. 7 dies were rolled all 4+.
The question is how many attack dice do the vikings lose? Just 1, all 6 or 5 (keeping the capacity attack dice)?

I believe 5, but this seems very powerfull for levies, so it became unbelievable, therefor the question.

Wow, that was a bit of good luck by the Scot player. I believe that you would have lost all six attacks as he rolled seven 4+ as you would determine all your attack dice including the boards abilities before the defender uses his boards abilties.

Hi hithero,

Thx for the answer. One small question off topic. Are you the same hithero that was THE rules guru on the GW's lord of the rings boards?

For better or worse that would be me Still involved with TLA but only play LOTR at the GT's now as I've been outpriced by GW products.

The detailed description of the GIVE GROUND ability confirms that if the VIKING player had them he would have lost 7 ATTACK dice, so in the situation described he did lose all 6.

Not a big fan of the SCOTS, but that is a really nice LEVIES, or even WARRIORS, ability ..

yeah it's a very powerful ability and moocifer said the Viking player would have lost all his Attack Dice
