Under the leadership of the Chieftain, we have the Warriors of the tribe. Indigenous natives from the Vinland fought equipped with rudimentary weapons, their only protection bearskins, but they were famous for their savagery and proved to be more than a match for the Norse adventurers that landed on their soil. Most of the members of a Skraeling tribe won’t have much experience with warfare, their main business being the hunt. Š‡•‡„‘™Ǧƒ”‡†Ƥ‰Š–‡”•ƒ”‡…‘•‹†‡”‡†Levies in game terms.

These three abilities are used to activate your units.

Used during your Orders Phase

You may activate your Warriors and Warlord with any single Saga Die, but the Levies will need two dice with the same symbol to be activated. ‘—ƒŽ•‘Šƒ˜‡ƒ……‡••–‘ƒ”‡ƒŽŽ›‡ơ‡…–‹˜‡…–‹˜ƒ–‹‘ƒ„‹Ž‹–›–Šƒ–ǡ†‡•’‹–‡ …‘•–‹‰͗ƒ‰ƒ†‹…‡™‹–Š†‹ơ‡”‡–•›„‘Ž•ǡ™‹ŽŽƒ…–‹˜ƒ–‡ƒŽŽ›‘—”—‹–•Ǥ

The downside of this ability is that your Warlord won’t be able to use the We Obey or Side by Side rules, meaning that he will have to face the enemy alone!

Used during your Orders Phase Š‡ ”ƒ‡Ž‹‰• …–‹˜ƒ–‹‘ ‘‘Ž ™‘”• †‹ơ‡”‡–Ž› ˆ”‘ –Š‡ ‘–Š‡” Activation Pools. You may place any Saga Die here to roll one extra Saga Die. Doesn’t sound particularly interesting? But the fact that the Saga Dice that are on this ability at the start of your turn do not count as being on your Battleboard makes it shine. Let’s see how it works. You start a turn by counting up your Saga Dice. Say you got 6 of them. You use 4 of them to activate your units and use your Saga abilities, and place the 2 Saga Dice left on your Activation Pool. At the start of the next turn, let’s consider that you still have 6 Saga Dice to roll. Any other warband would deduct the dice left on their ƒ––Ž‡„‘ƒ”†ˆ”‘–Š‡‹”ƒŽŽ‘…ƒ–‹‘ǡ„—–ƒ•–Š‡…–‹˜ƒ–‹‘‘‘Ž•’‡…‹Ƥ…ƒŽŽ› indicates that they are disregarded, they are not deducted from your pool of Saga Dice. So you would roll 6 Saga Dice, and be able to use your Activation Pool to roll two additional dice to bring your total to 8 for this turn. You will have noted that the background of the ability means that this is a once-per-turn ability.

Combat Pool Used during a melee, or when shooting. The Combat Pool is similar to the Combat Pools of most others Battleboards. Astute readers will have spotted that the Combat Pool †‘‡•ǯ–‘ơ‡”ƒ›‡ˆ‡…‡‹…‡ƒ‰ƒ‹•–”ƒ‰‡†ƒ––ƒ…ǤŠƒ–ǯ•Ž‹ˆ‡ǡƒ† you will have to be shielded by your bravery!
