Hi All,

suspect i know the answer to this one, but is the idea that when you're at a missile face of the terrain die with an undead army, are you essentially rolling for ID's to get missile results?

presumably it's best to try and maneuver the die away from missile and not take an action when there is a missile icon present?

Any thoughts welcome! Smile

Thanks.

Undead are the only race with no missile icons. So the only way they will generate any missile results is from IDs. Whether or not it's worthwhile to roll your Undead army to generate missile is worthwhile depends on a number of factors. Mostly, what SAIs do you have, and what SAIs does your opponent have? If you have Cantrips you want to try and get, and your opponent has no special SAIs that would get triggered by a save roll, then go for it. If on the other hand, your Undead have no SAIs that will help you during a missile roll, and your opponent has SAIs like Cantrip, then don't roll.

Of course with Undead you want to try and get it to melee where you can smash your enemies!

Great responses, thanks peeps! I dead are visually my favourite, just need to get my head around their particular strategic nuances.
