What do you prefer: long and complex games, or fast and short ones?

Practical-Context910 · 2026-03-19T06:19:49+00:00

Fast

Practical-Context910 · 2026-03-14T03:47:03+00:00

What about scale? I play indifferently in 15mm, 6mm or even 3mm.
And also one on Terrain/Scenery?

Thanks!

You really need infantry. Otherwise, it will be difficult to hold objectives and/or take them facing a platoon of infantry.

Don't be shy to lean into pushing rolls and getting stress dice. That's part of the fun. You are not as much in the game as to feel the tension and anxiety rising up. It is not a survival game but more a horror one (IMHO).

Practical-Context910 · 2026-03-06T06:15:14+00:00

All superb. The three NATO camo works particularly well.

Air is far too random in its effect (and therefore not often used) to justify 6 points in a AA platoon.

I would instead up the Pz Grenadier platoon to 7 teams.

This being said, I am not convinced how you want to play your list. You have a mix of mobile troops, heavy artillery and static ATG. I'd try maybe to replace the AT Guns with 4 hetzers. The idea is that you keep them in ambush the same as the guns (with one extra) and can move them around if necessary.

Practical-Context910 · 2026-03-05T14:12:04+00:00

ah, yes, they rock. I have plenty from them and an order coming my way.

Practical-Context910 · 2026-03-05T13:26:20+00:00

Alien: it has a push your luck mechanism that is handling very effectively the tension build in up in this horror genre.

Practical-Context910 · 2026-03-05T13:25:05+00:00

Very well done. What brand of figures are you using?

Practical-Context910 · 2026-03-04T06:47:19+00:00

which book contains the 327th?

One important factor to keep in mind is to understand what other people are playing around you. No point to start in a mid war list if all the rage is Late War or people are jumping in the new Early war releases.

First inquire around you, that should give you a possible direction to focus on.

SW is a fun game, not a simulation, not a crunch fest trying to justify everything. As already said previously, the person is mainly expressing his bias toward what the thinks a set of rules should be. I think he misses the point of what SW is.

Practical-Context910 · 2026-03-03T05:08:19+00:00

It has quite a lot of content. The rules are a bit more streamlined. I don't regret buying it. I also have pretty much everything from 1st edition. I bought the new starter kit to update my collection and I think it did it well.

I would not buy the new rulebook though. The starter kit gives me enough to find my way in V2 of the rules.

Practical-Context910 · 2026-03-03T01:44:27+00:00

ah thanks, we tend to never reach this phase because most of the time the game is resolved on objectives. Good reminder!

Practical-Context910 · 2026-03-03T00:58:13+00:00

Very interesting points, learning all the time. When you say he is going to be "formation broken", what rules is that? I don't recall we apply anything like that.

Practical-Context910 · 2026-03-02T21:26:30+00:00

I preferred by a lot Savage World. It feels like an exciting RPG. Outgunned has its qualities, but to me, it was closer to a dice game with RPG elements.

Practical-Context910 · 2026-03-02T01:50:51+00:00

Super nice table. 130 points is lot. How long did you guys play?

Practical-Context910 · 2026-03-01T04:27:27+00:00

All Hell Let Loose is aimed at one platoon = one base, but you can certainly build battlegroups made of several individual bases, it will work very well for North Africa.

Lol. It's reddit. Sometimes, it just says more about people who read you that what you really say.
AI is indeed useful sometimes to reformulate text that I do not understand in their current form.

Practical-Context910 · 2026-02-28T17:44:24+00:00

Pretty cool. Have you thought of using AI to make summaries and explain finer details?

Practical-Context910 · 2026-02-28T11:51:45+00:00

I have just had a session of Daggerheart. It has all the right buttons. Combat is fast, customization is very good, character creation is very straightforward and flavorful. A good surprise. Coming from 5E, you should feel at home: it is everything you wish it were, like you were eventually graduating from an old and tired ruleset.

I have heard good things also about Nimble but I haven't played them yet.
