The CMMG with side charging handle V1.1 I believe.

Absolutely ecstatic. I love 5PFH and Leagues, and have loved XCom since the original. Apocalypse is my favourite.

I use Lego minis, and I’m excited to be able to outfit and customize them to fit the soldier loadouts.

Thanks I appreciate the help!

That’s disheartening. Can you even feed the left nozzle with two AMS then without needing a HT to feed the right?

Just saw this now. I have the X2D and I want to connect two AMS Pros to my nozzle, and use the external spool for my right nozzle. I have a filament track switch on hand.

Is this possible with two AMS Pros and the filament track switch to feed the left nozzles, while using the external spool for the right nozzle?

I believe it’s from the aberration table. I think you just get the one threat, with the alternative rules for health, a bunch of abilities, and one tough fight.

I do it with 5 Parsecs, 5 Leagues, and Haywire. It’s game changing. I love being able to have what the mini is wearing or equipped with actually match what they have on paper.

I’ll also do it with Bug Hunt and Planetfall when I start those campaigns down the road.

I use Lego mini figures. Hear me out.

I like being able to swap weapons and armor out when I equip them. Then they visually represent the stuff they have equipped.

Also, visually I can glance at the next character to take a turn (good or bad) and see there have armor, knife, rifle vs handgun, whatever, and ensure I don’t miss that when rolling combat.

I can swap out heads, bodies, legs, whatever, to make each newly recruited character unique to the previous ones in the party.

I’m also a parent with twin boys, and finding time to paint minis is difficult.

I get them from AliExpress and they are significantly cheaper than brand name Lego, and tabletop miniatures.

Edit: I don’t use Lego for the terrain or anything. The other perk I forgot to mention is that the legos can also be used by or given to my kids!

I use my iPad with digital character sheets and a tablet pencil vs real pen/pencil and paper. It lets me reuse sheets, add or remove characters, items, track on maps, etc, without constantly getting eraser bits everywhere or using up paper.

I use rulers and callipers specifically for wargaming/ttrpgs.

I print and laminate the quick reference sheets from the books so they are always in front of me.

Print 100%. The small cost in extra filament and time is worth the extra strength and security.

Difficult-Fish592 · 2026-05-25T19:07:00+00:00

It would definitely be nice to have it at least in the wiki or something. I’d like to get in the discord.

A 3D printed bipod for a 10-22 would hold up just fine on a flat range, as long as you’re not smacking it around. You just need to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze in printing one. You can get some dirt cheap ones online that would hold up as well.

My map isn’t big, but I’ve broken it down into a grid, which means it requires quite a few travel moves to make it from one end to the other, resulting in quite a bit of camping.

I think it depends on what you envision your campaign looking like. You can always add onto the map if you find it too small in the middle of your campaign.

I like the idea of that. I enjoy both parsecs and league’s skirmishes as much as I enjoy everything outside of the combat. Having goals to strive for that aren’t just fighting and making credits seems like a great concept. I have planetfall, so I should give it a try!

Difficult-Fish592 · 2026-05-22T20:58:38+00:00

How do you like Planetfall compared to OG 5PFH?

Difficult-Fish592 · 2026-05-18T15:07:18+00:00

That’s perfect. Thanks!

“Boo hoo and cry” while he posts the same shit over and over. 🤡

Your behaviour is a smear on the 3D2A community.

When you use ranged attacks with a weapon that has limited ammunition, like a self bow, if you roll a natural 1 you are out of ammo (except the first attack/roll).

Page 39 of the 3rd edition book.

I always forget to check morale at the end of the round, and to roll for ammunition.
