I played 2 games yesterday with him. Made some needed change to it.

I faced a Beasmaster, which I totally owned, but I also faced a Necromancer that liked to hide behind walls and during that time, curse and idol were ticking and I had no way to heal. So a Regrowth Belt is required even if I thought I didn't need it because it was intended I would kill my opponenent quickly, but if they want to run while direct damage tick, I need a way to counter that. I also put back a Force Hammer into it to deal with walls.

How are the Bridge Trolls treating you? In my experience the lack of armor made them too easy to focus down with multiple monsters.

Easy, guys.. I put my pants on just like the rest of you -- one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I win Mage Wars!

Armory and Battle Order do wonders.

The Anvil Throne Warlord Battle Orders seem tailor made to support Bridge Trolls. I haven't tried it, but I probably should.

Fast trolls do sound pretty Terrifying. Not sure I would want to follow them around burning quick-cast actions on Hold The Line though. Maybe in a pinch but not as a sustained strategy.

I think Bridge Trolls work fine with a Bloodwave Warlord too
Armory, Standard Bearer and a Vet Token give 3 armor, 7 attack dice and Pierce +1. :)
