5. They Shall not Pass	no	No

Summary

There games were I can burn my dice and today they perform above the call of duty. I rolled three 6 just to see who would go first in each turn. One of the FF/CC, i need to roll a 5 to tide and a 6 to win, well i won by one pip…. I must tip my hat to my opponent, who never once gave up…

To the knights list  feel great. Really powerful in engagements but easily hurt when getting attacked. They need to be played in a quite Forceful and courageous playing style to be successful.The list feels balanced and is structured well.

May the dice roll high for you.
