In the new books there is only 1 scenario that requires warbands to come on as random (reinforcements is how the book and LoME describes it). Just like in LoME Take-and-Hold you have to roll to see if the band comes on. The difference is that each # now represents how the band comes on. In LoME they grouped # (1-2, 3-4, 5-6). Is there a huge difference from the old to the new???? ...nope. They just took more control and stated that on "xii" your opponent chooses which side your band comes on....and on a "xiii" your opponent chooses which top or bottom they come on. On, oh lets say, a roll of "8" you choose which band comes on to the sides and ...hmmm.... a roll of "10" you choose either the top or bottom to have your band come on. On a 6 you can place your band on any table edge and on a "single dot" they don't come on.
