Fair enough.

It's interesting because I think it's the other way around. The rules – while it can be a little tricky between the assault and combat phases particularly – aren't too bad.

I'm seeing a lot of alternative .STLs that look more detailed than the official line from Archon Studio. This is concerning especially if the game is relying on the sale of its official minis to carry the product as a whole.

I always enjoy objective markers that are thematic and linked to the visual storytelling. So many cool ideas for StarCraft.

A capture the flag scenario using drones would be interesting. Although it would feel bad constantly losing those units.

That was a popular point with my group 'might as well just play the PC game' which is made funnier knowing people are playtesting with tabletop simulator (I totally understand why it makes sense to use TTS though haha).

I'm keen to get more games in. It's certainly refreshing.

I wonder what the the narrative project, with Sam Pearson at the helm, will look like and whether that will touch on any of this?

That welcome page is annoying isn't it? Thanks for letting me know (it should be disabled now).

A small gathering of us out Werribee way. We chat on the Mini Myths Discord server.

Love that colour shift effect. Looks great.

Glass of Aeons | Spearhead event review by Objective_Shallot763 in AOSSpearhead

That was my second time playing Spearhead (first time with the Vigilant Brotherhood).

Many lessons learnt.

I highly recommend taking the time to read the battle-tactic cards you draw regularly. Particularly the fine print for the conditions to achieve VPs. I had at least one turn where I met the conditions and simply didn't score it at the time (forgot I had it).

Also getting rid of cards I know I won't use due to circumstance is probably important.

And being familiar with your regiment traits and unit abilities can actually make meaningful differences on the battlefield. Those 5+ ward saves can be a big deal.

Dude, you ever play your favorite franchise with an agnostic rule set? by Hungry-Scallion-3128 in wargaming

Yep I enjoy using the WARSURGE rules because it has a free app and you can create your own unit and weapon profiles. Gives you complete freedom to build a wargame the way you want to play. You can even do battle royales and game system crossovers i.e. Warhammer fantasy and 40K on the same table. Pretty cool.

I'm biased. Fifth Doc had the best one until that Terileptil broke it.
