Mind you I was trying to teach the game to friends of the kids who have the attention span of your average squirrel... on amphetamines... so there was a lot of explaining... and then re-explaining... and then re-re-explaining and... and... Ugh, you get the point... It was fun, though. Hopefully get a report of those games up tomorrow and get it some more games this week! <br /><br />The game can be brutal, yes, but the campaign system seems VERY forgiving. There is only a one in ten chance that anyone take "out of action" in a game actually DIES. 80% of the time, they fully recover for the next game - the other 10% the miss one game. timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-11251237820006562912018-08-19T23:56:21.347-07:002018-08-19T23:56:21.347-07:00Sounds like an interesting game, you'll speed ...Sounds like an interesting game, you'll speed up With practice, sounds like a brutal game!<br />Best Iaincaveadsum1471https://www.blogger.com/profile/02174163740406928172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-32226820810728919592018-08-19T02:25:20.814-07:002018-08-19T02:25:20.814-07:00Cheers!

On a two they are convalescing and miss the next game. On 3+ they're totally fine - full recovery. So... SHOULDN'T be too deadly... Of course that's about the same likelihood of wizards dying in Frostgrave and I've had both wizard AND apprentice die... on multiple occasions! <br /><br />Flamers are very short ranged (8") but they're brutal to charge against! They're strength 4 - which means they're going to, more often than not, wound anyone with Toughness 3 (Eldar, Imperial Guard, Tau, etc) and wound Orks and Marines (and others with Toughness 4) half the time. There's no AP so Marines, at least, will often save those wounds... not so much the orks. <br /><br />I guess the other problem is that they can do d6 attacks per round. When Finnegan charged Other Tim's flamer he rolled SIX attacks - so with a 50% chance of wounding it was pretty much guaranteed he was going to be wounded and wouldn't be able to save all of them... In fact I think they're ASSAULT d6 - which means you can move, do an assault move, and STILL shoot with them and always hit anyone that'd within 8"... I can see their point values going up in a future...? Or like in older editions maybe figures will be able to dodge out of the way of them? timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-6165918970696026172018-08-18T04:07:39.170-07:002018-08-18T04:07:39.170-07:00My first thought on seeing the setup was "Hol...My first thought on seeing the setup was "Holy crap that's a small playing area!" I guess it makes for fast games, though, but that also means you are likely to have bloody ones as well, which will take some massaging for campaigns - though I've no idea what sort of refit rules are in place.<br /><br />Free hit flamers? Ugh. I'd house-rule the crap out of that.Christian Knudsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188378644835531791noreply@blogger.com
