Greathelm

A micro-skirmish for two

Six knights a side

Each round you roll a handful of dice. The number on a die is the action it buys: a six sprints five inches, a one is a heavy blow. Attacks are one die each plus whatever your position has earned, and the attacker wins ties. Three wounds kill a knight. A wounded knight can also lose their nerve and run.
