Hi all,
I doubled checked the rules on Trampling.  Two changes to 
the Boar rules:

— Note that the Trample is a free action.  It can trample 
AND do something else.  For example, it may trample, then 
decide to go into HTH so it can bite.  (If you are using my HTH 
rules, attacking on the turn it enters HTH is at –4 DX.)

— Trampling a figure on the ground does not give you a 
+4 DX for an attack vs. a fallen figure.  The trample happens 
at the Boar’s regular DX.

Warm regards, Rick.
