Burrows & Badgers: A Skirmish Game of Anthropomorphic Animals

Product Information

Incredibly, he has received no permanent injuries in this campaign and has acquired 20 Experience Points. I'd say the rules are simple at first glance, but once you get into the way skills, spells and equipment let you characters support each other, there's a lot to think about. The Chosen’s gambling makes good money for the warband and despite a little trouble breaking out on one occasion, no one suffers any permanent injuries. Tommy quickly takes his healing potion and then casts a cure spell on himself, healing much of the damage done to him by the arrow shot. Bogun attacks Bob in retaliation for his deadly strike against Fanny but the lizard blocks the blow.

Tommy Skump gives up on magic and resorts to beating Hettie Slugg with his staff with some satisfying results – the shrew takes a good few wounds. There are a lot of stats for each animal profile - 9 of them - which is very much bucking the trend.It’s essentially a treasure hunting scenario with the additional danger of randomly appearing wraiths.

As a result he has taken some heavy injuries (his mobility has been particularly badly affected) but has learned some useful skills.Flora makes a SHOOT Action as her first Action and then uses an ACT Action to equip herself with a sword so if the otter moves and attacks, she will not suffer a –2 modifier for being Unarmed.

I’m planning on playing some cooperative games of Burrows and Badgers this year and, as usual, I’ll be reporting on how the games go. However, his general strength has improved (gains strength skill) and he ends the campaign with a very respectable 24 Experience Points. Burton has sustained a chest wound (gained Delicate) but Mortus and Hugo escape any permanent injury.The equipment list is thorough yet sensible with generic bows, thrown weapons, muskets, one handed weapons, polearms etc. Hares are the best all-round warriors in the game; d8 Move, d10 Strike and d8 Block plus Strong (1) makes them excel in a fight. Meanwhile Barnabus, once again employing his evasion tactics, slips past Hugo Blackriver, hauling the paychest with him. Plucky mice, mighty badgers, sinister foxes, wicked weasels - wielding a range of weapons, going on missions in a Mordhiem-esque campaign.
