Well D6 strength 8 hits means you roll a dice and whatever number it lands on is the number of hits. They hits are at strength 8.

Sorry to ask again but im new to this, so if i roll a D6 and roll say a 4, thats 4 hits at strength 8? what does the strength 8 part mean, how many are killed by that shot?

It's kind of difficult to explain. Do you know how the Wound Chart works? The Ballista uses that.

its near the end of the one ring book, but I am not sure where it is in legions. You basically cross reference the strength of the hit, (in the case of the ballista

with the defense of the target, it should explain this in the part of the rules that deal with fighting and shooting.

correct me if im wrong but is this it-- i roll a dice and compare it to the ballista table. a 3-5 is on target and inflicts D6 strength 8 hits, so now i roll a D6 and roll lets say a 4. Do i now have 4 dice to roll at strength 8 and compare that to his formation defense?

Doh! of course you are. :oops:

Don't really play WOTR but I believe you are correct. At least according to page 39.
