 Well that was a interesting game. I have never seen the some many failed saves, by the Knights. It didn’t help either with the number of critical I rolled. Tonight I rolled more critical’s then I have rolled in the past 12 months(Oh yeah). So some more testing is still needed on the Lancers etc. So will try another game soon, with the same Knights list.

May the dice roll high for you
