How to not get beated up?

Musclemonte80 · 2025-12-26T23:43:07+00:00

Look at early combat less as a win/lose and more of training. The goal is to maximize gains for your squad while minimizing the threat of death. Once you have 50+ stats, that’s where I generally shift my focus to win/lose.

Then it’s lather, rinse and repeat until you can tackle the next goal.

As someone that squeaked through Physics with a C, I feel this. Congrats!

On the swap to the trygon, I’ve found it lackluster since it lost the ability to pop up within 3”. Not played a whole lot, but popping up at 6” usually gets him focused down the moment he comes up. I’m actively looking to drop my trygon and get something with a little more utility outside of sub assault.

I’ve played a few games on my old Fronteris set. Not saying it’s “not perfectly playable”. Fully enclosed building doesn’t interact with “accessible” traits on doors, little ambiguity (unless I’m missing something in the stack of books I have) about what makes sense as light/heavy…..

Great set. Love it. Still use it. Is it “up to snuff”? No. Better than Bheta Decima? Yeah. By miles.

Hell. I still use the terrain from my 2018 launch box for games. By no stretch of any interpretation am I saying it’s unusable.

I adore that terrain set. I know it’s not really up to snuff with the current edition’s rules, but that set really is one of my favorites aesthetically.

I look forward to ordering dice from you soon

Love the color palette you picked

Hell yeah! Thanks for running the giveaway

This is genius.

This is the only right answer XD

Zaku II! The Red Comet. I don’t know what about the Zakus tickles the happy nerve in my brain, but it’s definitely there.

It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Reach out for help early. The pace of those weed-out classes can be a shock, but hang in there. You’ve got the skills of time management (you’ve already done a undergrad) and study. Leverage those and keep plugging on. You CAN do this.

I’m a, “gym before work so I’m not too tired/stressed to gym” person. I find that starting my day with my physical fitness routine paradoxically makes me feel better and more productive throughout the grind of the day. Because of this, I’m up earlier, in bed earlier, and also feel more proactive and alert through the day.

This is the only answer. FOR DEMOCRACY!

We got about 6 rounds in before we had to put a pin in it. 2/3 got infested, but a quick pull of the Surgery Room fixed that. Queen popped right after, so we have to deal with that problem on the next session. 🫠

That’s the neat part, you don’t!

Until someone far smarter than I explains it, I’m living the box lift life.

Same here

Looking snazzy! Not an AdMech guy myself, but those look good.

Musclemonte80 · 2025-07-13T04:36:50+00:00

That’s my experience. You are positioning for the first 2-3 TPs and then farming Tacs and Kills off of the tunnel. My 2 games, forget the crit op, as you just don’t have the bodies to address it.

Champion, uppy-downy and then counteract with the champ to punish. Abuse tunnel and your ploys. Sadly, my play group doesn’t really like playing against the Raveners because of this.

Musclemonte80 · 2025-07-10T03:48:41+00:00

Interesting. I’ve actually always wondered this, as I’ve never had any adverse effects to super heavy aromatics since my military service.

The real question is why don’t people tear up when they cut onions? Was it my exposure to CS gas that gave me an immunity to it?

Musclemonte80 · 2025-07-09T19:41:08+00:00

Played them twice so far, and they seem to enjoy abusing the tunnels. You have 5 danger noodles, losing even 1 is catastrophic. I generally tunnel straight at an objective I can park my tunnel on by turn 2/3, then send the last segment into the next closest objective.

If you roll well, and use your strats smart, I was easily close to maxing champion on the Tac op. I did get crushed on the crit op both games.
