We played 5 games last week where the theme was that whoever won terrain HAD to place a river.
This forced us to use the river rules to become familiar with them and to see what issues we would run into.
As it so happens, in one game I deployed several of my units in my army on a river.
According to the rules, you do not dice to see what type of river you have until you attempt to cross.
In which case, we determined that I would not know what the movement restrictions, if any, were until it was my bound to move.
What do you all think about handling the river rules this way?

Yes, we did. We run "themed" stuff like this all the time and enjoy playing "outside the box." Last week was RIVER-RAMA.Next week will be BUA BEATDOWN.Everyone MUST place a BUA. |

Thanks for that, Joe. I had misplaced mine so I will print out several copies and leave some at our place of battle.
