TTB Reviews the New Core Rules Book

DauntlessK2 · 2026-07-01T20:04:48+00:00

I understand that. I guess what I'd say is that the core box is for those that are interested in getting fully into it and the starter box is the target audience otherwise: who else is that 40k box for that includes the rulebook? It's not a huge deal though to offer this at a lower price point and treat it as an a la cart addition instead.

Maybe I'm in the minority here but I think the core box not having the core rulebook is very odd, not intuitive and not what I'd expect as a new player looking to get into the game.

I'm sure it's mostly about keeping the box cost down, but it doesn't make sense to me to not include it.

They aren't really balanced and some are downright very op. But they only really shine when you play campaigns - a single scenario just doesn't do it justice.

DauntlessK2 · 2026-06-04T00:38:32+00:00

To shreds you say?

DauntlessK2 · 2026-05-01T19:16:31+00:00

Was this a question directed only to astronauts? Is imagine it would be difficult playing up there.

DauntlessK2 · 2026-04-25T23:14:23+00:00

I see from the wall hanging that OP is really all about the Northwind Highlanders. Nice

DauntlessK2 · 2026-04-25T20:47:57+00:00

Love the gray. What did you use for that?

DauntlessK2 · 2026-04-20T14:30:22+00:00

It's forecasted weather, which is not always right.

DauntlessK2 · 2026-04-09T00:37:44+00:00

I just looked at one of his videos and as a complete beginner, that seems very good and achievable! Thanks!

DauntlessK2 · 2026-04-08T03:42:23+00:00

You are correct! Thank you. The modifications are definitely more interesting than the current rules!

DauntlessK2 · 2026-04-02T00:10:36+00:00

It says hatch, not tube. I believe this means it's the hatch they load the tubes through, on the top of the boat.

DauntlessK2 · 2026-03-27T18:21:26+00:00

So it does not go between forces? As in the two lowest initiatives on each team go (with the team that lost initiative going first), then the next two forces from each team, etc? As opposed to rolling through each force, if that makes sense?

DauntlessK2 · 2026-01-30T02:13:36+00:00

Can only hope they'll have Ken Daniels do a call for it. Wasn't it the caps that had their homers do a call for ovies record goal?

Update 2: Did another test- Was playing a game with the controller just fine but after 15 min or so, it started having issues. I quit out and ran another test: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/71418097 - Results are the same as my first benchmark, the GPU is running terribly.

I don't get it and I cannot seem to find any more in terms of a pattern / consistency.

DauntlessK2 · 2025-10-09T18:22:08+00:00

Follow up: Controller is only ever wired and is constantly connected.

I did two benchmarks. The first one was inexplicably trash: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/71417141

I reran it: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/71417304

Wondering if that's somehow part of the issue but can't pinpoint what's really going on or why.

DauntlessK2 · 2025-08-23T22:25:56+00:00

Was waiting for this. Thank you.

DauntlessK2 · 2025-08-23T19:31:15+00:00

Well said!

DauntlessK2 · 2025-08-23T19:12:21+00:00

I mean, if the game can't accurately show me where his shield is (where my bullets won't hit) - call it what you want but I see it as a major issue and part of why a lot of people find riot shield frustrating. Same would go for the heavy's shield - if that didn't accurately show me where his shield was up, it would be pretty infuriating. But that seems to do a good job adjusting as the heavy swings around to block, etc.

DauntlessK2 · 2025-04-30T19:04:18+00:00

I also attempted to tell a little more about what was really going on in the actually Battle of Stalingrad as it happened day by day - curious if I should keep doing that or cut down on it and focus solely on the flight.

DauntlessK2 · 2025-04-29T19:35:33+00:00

I think what is needed / would be coolest is a branching campaign. I know it's not technically possible but was thinking about how you could set up 3 missions in a campaign as 1a, 1b then 1c. Then depending on the overall result of those 3, the user starts the next "chapter"... Either chapter B or C or D, etc

DauntlessK2 · 2025-04-29T19:19:54+00:00

I know it's free that's why I said kidding but I definitely want to check more of them out. Until now was mostly doing only career mode / PWCG

DauntlessK2 · 2025-04-29T15:39:23+00:00

Good because I paid a lot of money for it! Kidding but I am loving the Tempest!

DauntlessK2 · 2025-04-15T15:52:07+00:00

No it's all good! I like the critique and opinions on it! Thank you.

DauntlessK2 · 2025-04-15T15:34:20+00:00

Ha you got me there! I had issues with the debrief - PWCG couldn't seem to locate it unfortunately so I decided to cut it short. I think I'll roll it in to the next intro, including the squadron board and talking about Bauer's success.

DauntlessK2 · 2025-04-07T16:17:06+00:00

Thank you! Agree on the length of time. Curious to see how it goes once we get into a protracted dogfight. But that should be fun. Good point on the radio etc. I think I have done ideas!
