Re: Are horses 2-hex creatures?
Anyway, this is threatening to digress into house rules with me going on about the horned horse. I'm glad I got a solid positive on whether horses are two-hex beings.
Weren't there horse counters in some TFT product? I would have sworn there were, either in a separate product like Cardboard Heroes or as counters in one of the programmed adventures. Might have to dig those out and check.

The original 1980's version of Death Test 2 had a 2-hex non-horse counter, and a facing diagram for it. (It's pretty simple - 3 fronts, 2 sides, 3 rears.) Unicorn Gold also had several non-horse 2-hex counters - giant beavers hehe also lions and sabertoothed tigers - with no facing diagram. Grail Quest was intended to use horses but they refer players to ITL and provided no horse counters. |

Maybe if SJG gets into producing additional TFT counter sets they'll do a riding animals one.

Re: Are horses 2-hex creatures?
The warhorse entry at ITL 88 is a bit too broad of a spread. Historical Destriers should be ST 28 to 31, and that 31st point is rounding up a bit. You really ought to double costs for extreme animals of ST 32 to 34 and ten times cost for monsters of ST 35 or 36. These would be large two-hex figures (along with the biggest draft horses) in the same sense that a Reptile Person is a large one-hex figure.

Re: Are horses 2-hex creatures?
One other kind of counter set that would be interesting is one with everything viewed from above, like the dragon counters. I think those would work well with horse counters, and making determining a counter's front easier in some cases. Not everyone's cup of tea, naturally, but could make a cool alternate.

The 2-hex counter in Death Test 2 was top down, as were our home-made horse counters, and the GURPS 3-hex horse counters. I don't think I'd even use side-view or front-view multi-hex counters, except giant humanoids. |

Re: Are horses 2-hex creatures?
Thanks!
I personally love making my own counters. For TFT I have a menagerie.
