Game Play and Rules Questions
Hey all! Now that the game is officially available, if you have any questions about the rules or miniatures I've been running it at conventions for a while now and can try to answer anything you want to know!

What is the dice mechanic for the miniature game?

With the addendum that a 1 is always a miss and a 10 is always a hit.

Re: Game Play and Rules Questions
Could you maybe give a narrative example of a couple of units skirmishing? Say a group of Melee Undead vs British Riflemen...

Re: Game Play and Rules Questions
So, Samsut zombie controllers...
I'm trying to put a force together for a skirmish, but I'm not sure I'm clear on how the controllers work. There are three different model listings, which I assume are Regular, Veteran, and Elite (they aren't listed as such in the stat blocks, however). Are they all considered level 1 commanders for the purposes of controlling zombie units? If so, do they have to be integrated into the unit like other level 1 commanders? My impression from the commander description on pg 57 is that level 1 commanders don't have their own stand and must be in contact with the unit to provide command benefits. But Samsut controllers are also listed as skirmishers. Do they have to be integrated into the unit to issue commands to zombies or do they have a command range of a higher level commander?
Also, are you going to be posting some game materials on the website at any point? There's no army/unit sheet in the book and it would be nice to have some examples of various army compositions (especially for the Samsut, since they seem to have a lot of similar units that might need to be integrated a bit more skillfully to make an effective force).
