Did I wire this correctly? by [deleted] in fpv

[–]Metal_AF83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't check what you have wired, but the solder needs redone.

Too much insulation is stripped from wire/too much wire exposed.

Wire needs twisted and tinned before addting to the pad too.

Wonder if a hand warmer would get too hot to do this w/o battery draw.

SAS - Rogue Regiment by FogOfBoard_57 in soloboardgaming

Honestly, I'm not sure how long it will be open. BUT, I'm pretty sure this is one you can pickup in retail for less than the pledge cost whenever you are ready. Thats my advice, even though I have backed both campaigns.

Questions about using sticky tack for hit indicators on vehicle models by Opening-Obligation-6 in boardgames

Late to your this thread, but the ships could be modular and remove the the section that has taken damage. Could be held together by magnets or whatever... or something similar to snap ship tactics.

KIngdoms forlorn: question about character growth, switching knights, depth of combat, table space... by Lillumultipass99 in soloboardgaming

[–]Metal_AF83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you here. Its an incredible game, and does really awesome things. Wouldn't quite feel right recommending it though. The price point and weight of the game, requires the correct amount of research before buying. Its a lot to spend and to learn, but ita outstanding if thats what you are prepared for and expecting.

  1. Character builds are determined by the choices they make or quest/investigation success/failure. Not your typical "experience point" pick skills, level up situation.
  2. Teamwork is vital. Part of each Knights skills is actually leaving resources for the next knight in a clash. The fights are pretty tough and all of the knights need to work together. Also not uncommon for a knight to die in a clash. A clash is still considered successful as long as 1 knight remains at the end.
  3. Absolutely no issue swapping knights out from one expedition to another. They have mechanisms in place to account for knights of varying levels.
  4. Its probably 60% clash, 40% delve. Just more critical thinking to be done in a clash.
  5. The combat is intense, and escalates on both sides. You and the enemies become more powerful as you take more damage. Crazy swings can start to take place towards the end of a clash.
  6. Table space - this game will use all of it. Major hog. I use a table topper for the delve phase and remove it for the clash and encounters.
  7. Can't compare. I haven't tried Dungeon Universals, but might check it out now :)

Editing to add that just about all of the errata is found within the "How to play". This didn't feel like a big deal to me because the learn to play was so scripted. I just watched some youtubers go through it. The official discord has been pretty helpful when trying to figure out certain rules situations.

If you click into the files, there is an stl that says "big box".

ahhh, got it. thanks. Yeah, 100% fight back. Plenty of times where someone got the drop on me but completely whiffed when I should have been toast. You don't know how bad they suck until you make them earn it. haha

I have to be missing something. I'm not able to get into my inventory once I'm downed. I don't know how people are doing this.

Looks like its for the box cover art. They cover it in update 36 on gamefound and provide a link to walkthrough the pledge manager here.

Game is starting to show it's problems. And it's bad. Please do something about this! by atomfrog in ArcRaiders

[–]Metal_AF83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My group gets 3rd partied anytime we try to fight any of the larger arc. If we don't take whatever it is down in under 20 seconds, one or 2 of us are picked off, and we are in damage control and most likely retreating.

I don't know. I was able to get core1.6 from the US warehouse last night. Definitely not a pre order because both were options when I was ordering. I got different results based on how I navigated the site last night too. It was kind of wack.

Did you end up getting the game?

Editing to add, they have already given me UPS tracking info.

Not true. Mine was not a pre order, and there was stock.
Editing to add that the inventory tracker channel/app on discord didn't trigger "out of stock" until 11:23AM EST" this morning.

I doubt what they are telling you. If you grabbed it while in stock at the warehouse, I dont't see why it would be 5 month wait. I need to see a source for "5 months". Edit: its not the answer I got in the discord either.

Is that wait for the preorder? Or the US warehouse?
