Burrows & Badgers: A Skirmish Game of Anthropomorphic Animals

Product Information

Burrows and Badgers is a skirmish style miniature wargame. Each character is played as an individual hero, meaning that no ranks of units or sorting is required. Instead of armies, each player has a group of such heroes, known as a warband. Players keep a log of the individual experience gained by all characters in their band. [2] Characters and Classes [ edit ]

Your tabletop becomes part of the Kingdom of Northymbra, whose ruined villages, haunted forests, and misty marshes play host to brutal ambushes and desperate skirmishes. Lead your warband from battle to battle, and uphold the name of your faction, whether you stand with Reinert's Royalists, the Freebeasts of the Fox Families, or simply for your own glory or survival. These are relatively self-explanatory by name. Each character performs just 1 action from the list above when it activates. “But how do they move?” well it’s not only with Sprint! When preforming any of the above actions your character may move first and depending on its action may gain a bonus to the roll if they did move, or if they stayed put!

Like with any wargame these are shortened to a letter for ease on the table, the stats that every species has is:Burrows and Badgers is an RPG style wargame produced by Osprey Games. Its characters are anthropomorphic animals. [1] Gameplay [ edit ] There isn’t a set table size that you’ll be playing on. Anything roughly the size of a 3’x3′ or a 2’x4′ works well for 2-3 player games, if you’re playing a bit larger or like to have more space on a dense table for thematic purposes then up to a 4’x4′ would would pretty well; it might just take a while for some of your fighters to get into the action! When filing or sanding models, take care to ensure any particles or dust are not inhaled; it is best to do this in a well ventilated area. The movement value as a dice value looks a little confusing at first. That beast will simply move the maximum that it could roll on that dice. For example, a fox moves D8 so it will move 8″ unless moving through difficult terrain you roll the D8 to see how far you may move; difficult terrain will be things you agree before the game such as crop fields or rivers. However, if you’re trying to traverse vertical distance then that’ll use the beast’s Nimbleness stat meaning a fox can only move 6″ vertically with a D6 value.

Burrows & Badgers is a tabletop skirmish game set in the ancient realm of Northymbra, a kingdom where mice, badgers, toads and other animals wear armor, wield swords, and cast magic spells.

From shrews and mice to beavers and badgers, with an incredibly assortment of beasts in between, Burrows and Badgers focuses on small scale skirmishes normally using between 4 to 8 models per side. But how do they actually fight each other? Core Concepts The Table Players take it in turns activating one of their characters to do something even if that something is just hiding or running around a bit. Every character has the same list of actions they can perform, the only exception is that magic can only be cast by wizards (well mostly, anyways) as they’ll need to know a spell first!
