Another good episode - you did well to get rid of that Grand Shaman with 30 life! I think the rules for threat cards in this instance are a bit confusing. They say Epic threats should be replaced by High threats, unless you choose to face an Epic threat to make it interesting. Also the Heroes are in an Otherworld here, so threat cards should be from that Otherworld, not normal threat cards. I think you made it a bit harder on your heroes than it could have been, but they still came out on top in the end. At the end I don't think you did a Catch Your Breath, so they might have had a couple of extra Loot cards.
I thought of the epic threat issue, but otherworld threat cards don't have an epic level which would solve the issue of where the enemies come from. I agree, with two heroes you could pick a high threat, but sometimes it is nice to play something different...but yeah, it does make loosing more likely...but hopefully in a thematic and spectacular fashion :)
You chose the more adventurous route, and it worked out well. One thing I have noticed is that you don't seem to use dynamite much. It is very good at clearing out enemies with a reasonable defence and low toughness, like the Hungry Dead, and you can use it even when adjacent to enemies. It can clear out multiple enemies really quickly sometimes, and I try to get a Hero with grit to throw it, so you get a second chance at hitting the target square. It can bounce around a bit, and be annoying. The first time you take out 4 or 5 enemies in one go is a revelation, and from then on dynamite is a firm favourite.
He does, but with the hunting knife they found, in close combat having two dice and a reroll seemed more effective...at least until he gets a better shotgun.

Yeah, I played a game last night and had a blast but forgot dynamite (even had some) when 9 hungry dead were dropped on me.
It would have been great for that exact scenario. My motto is buy lots of dynamite in town, use it as often as you can, you won't regret it.
Doesn't the Marshal have a shotgun that rolls a d8 to hit and damage?

@@WarhammerDad Ah, math! Good call!
