So, 12 per side=24?

Depending on the size or your dice (irregardless of what-siders they are),  we often roll some combination twice, that arrives at the total dice needed to cast. 

With M&T vI, 6 dice per side was fine, and then we just determined a combo to cast for the total stands involved in the fighting (using the same 6 dice to divi up for the total).  We also use a dice tray, especially when playing on a full-board, fur-style mat.   

I actually think players enjoy rolling two sets amounting to the total required (gives them 'another chance' to cast a better hand on their second throw around).

We've hit the 4th Spend Goal in our Nickstarter Campaign. The chaps over at Cigar Box Battles have kindly donated one of their superb terrain mats as a prize, the one most suitable for the French & Indian War.

We'll be picking the winner in a prize draw tomorrow morning.

I'm sure you've been asked the question a zillion times before, so apologies in advance for asking again but is there a chance the previous Muskets and Tomahawks figures sculpted by Mike Owen will become available again under the North Star banner ? I missed them the first time around and I'm now sorry I did. The French set is the one I'm interested in :

Badger games in the US is meant to have bought all of the old range but they have yet to do anything with them. I haven't seen them announce anything or list them on the site.

That's right, all the moulds are in the possession of our chums at Badger Games.

Black Hussar do FIW French in a similar style to those IMHO

Had a look at their website and couldn't find the miniatures there either. Perhaps the imminent release of M&T mk II will encourage Badger Games to re-issue the figures : one can only hope.

Cheers for the answer Nick. The Black Hussar sculpts are very nice but since I've just ordered some of the Nickstarter F&W packs, I want the older set as well for the sake of consistency so that all the miniatures are Mike Owen's work.

I was only being silly about Black Hussar.
I will give Badger a prod. They will no doubt be taking Muskets & Tomahawks from me (I'm the exclusive distributor of the English language version, I bought the lot) so it'd be daft of them not to get the original figures out there.

Is it possible to add packs to an existing order (to give some extra push to teaching the goals)?
