They work just like a deck but the dice are small enough to fit on the same square as the 6mm unit they belong to. <br /><br />This was rather a big game to run with four newbies to the rules, so I was busy the whole game, but I don't think I put them off... I'll find out when Ray posts the batrep on his blog!

They really work well with multiple players.<br />I like you idea about hiding certain facts from the players, diffidently makes an ambush scenario work.<br />I might have to pinch that idea and pitch it at a couple of fellow gamers who haven't played too many ancient games. Might just have enough figures to cover it.
