Skirmish: Dice Set
 |
Prepare to rule the battlefields of Achtung! Cthulhu's Secret War with these 15 D6¸ which come in a 5 x red¸ 5 x black and 5 x blue pack. A perfect accessory for your Skirmish wargame¸ here's how the coloured dice work with the mechanics of the game. They're also useful of course for any RPG or wargame where you need a fistful of dice!
Types of Dice Roll (from the Achtung! Cthulhu Skirmish core rulebook).
The rolling of D6 is governed by the Coloured Exploding Dice game mechanic. For clarity¸ this takes advantage of using black¸ blue and red coloured dice.
BASIC DICE [BLACK D6]
Wherever you see the number of dice to be rolled written in black¸ you know that the
Basic Dice mechanic¸ often denoted [BLACK] or [BASIC] is to be used. In this case a natural roll of 6 results in ONE Success.
HEAVY DICE [BLUE D6]
Where you see the number of dice to be rolled written in blue¸ the Heavy Dice mechanic¸
often denoted [BLUE] or [HEAVY] is to be used. In this case¸ a natural roll of 6 results in TWO Successes.
EXPLODING DICE [RED D6]
Many dice rolls in Achtung! Cthulhu Skirmish will use the Exploding Dice mechanic as a
means of generating Successes. If the dice to be rolled are listed as [EXPLODING] or [RED]¸ a natural 6 results in TWO Successes AND an additional roll of a dice (the 'Exploding' part!). Additional rolls also use the same Exploding Dice mechanic¸ so they may result in even more additional rolls¸ and so on.
