A request for Ayton 2018

Post by Tim Hall »

This is mainly addressed to those L.A.W. members attending Ayton this year, a request for help. Do any of you have a copy of the ACW boardgame "Battle Cry", and if so can I prevail upon you to lend me the use of your battle dice. I am planning on using these for combat/morale resolution, and already have a set of my own, but the more the merrier, as they say. Thank you.
Rules? You ask me what rules do I use. No, I don't do rules.

Sadly not Simon, they are all game specific.

I have some blank dice as I considered making some of these as saw a chap online using them for games. What are the symbols?

I think I might have a set somewhere. If I'm right that Battle Cry uses the same dice as C&C Napoleonics?

If the ACW dice are the same as the Napoleonic ones then they would do splendidly. The symbols in question are:- crossed sabres, a waving flag, an infantryman, a cavalryman and an artillery piece. Appreciate the help here guys.

That sounds right and a quick search of t'internet seems to suggest they're the same :)
I'll have to go and 'mine' the boxes in the garage!

I found the ones I have and they have the symbols requested :) I appear to have nine which may or may not be a full set?
