Using the OP rules, the Hand axe and the Spear from the European Equipment cards work much like the Daggers, but since they already use 2 Attack dice there's no need for an extra reroll of a Black Shield while attacking adjacently (or diagonally with the Spear). Even though they are damaged while thrown if just 1 Black Shield is rolled, the Hand axe and Spear are instead reduced to just 1 Attack die, not automatically destroyed. They may be repaired at half cost once, but if they are damaged again (repaired or not), they are forever ruined. I upgraded the Spear to 200 gold coins, as the diagonal attack ability makes it better than the Hand axe. I kept the Hand axe the same at 150 gold coins.
Thanks. I like your logic. Especially the one time repair for damaged thrown weapons.
The way I shall play,
Throw weapon (roll appropriate number of combat dice)
1. Black shield damage (i.e. combat dice reduced by 1); therefore it would take 2 black shields to completely destroy and 1 to damage the hand axe. I feel daggers would be more easily destroyed.
2. If a any skulls were thrown then a hit has occurred. Then a on a roll of combat dice, a black sheild results in the thrown weapon being lost.
3. If white shield is thrown no hit occurs the thrown weapon is lost.
If a white shield and a black shield were thrown together (e.g. hand axe or spear thrown attack) the weapon has been damaged (or found damaged/defective) before being thrown, and subsequently reduced by 1 combat dice but not lost.
Hope thats clear as mud.
I have tried to incorporate both damage and a lost factor to the throwing weapons
I'm still completely open to changing the crossbow
