A model with 2/8 for example, generates 2, means he gets 2 at the starting phase, but how can it go up to 8?khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14726370947675529620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-75513319166372617582016-07-21T13:54:27.290+01:002016-07-21T13:54:27.290+01:00Hi K the game is exceptionally mobile as killing y...Hi K the game is exceptionally mobile as killing your opponents models is actually secondary to objectives, scenarios can only be won by VPs based on objective interaction. In fact there is no attrition scenario in the game unlike most systems. Additionally characters have throw/push/pull/sidestep attacks and defences that move the minis around and disengage them from combat. Yes Damon won the game because he killed most of my models off but if I had scored enough VPs earlier I could still have won with only one model left if I could deny Damon scoring. That's the beauty of the game and it generally stops the bunching of models In the middle of the table. This was the case in the second game where I got some early points because of some very mobile minis and looked like I could coast the game and then a lowly Kappa (5 rice) killed my Master Monk (12 rice) and some other models fell and I was on the back foot as I could no longer stop him from scoring points at will.Da Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-82073922108567737532016-07-21T11:48:27.106+01:002016-07-21T11:48:27.106+01:00It seems interesting.

Is there any mobility, or is it a matter of a)who will make the best decisions being engaged and b)the dice rolls?khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14726370947675529620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-29190221275965254962016-07-21T09:02:32.244+01:002016-07-21T09:02:32.244+01:00It was its grappling skills that I struggled to co...It was its grappling skills that I struggled to contend with.

I enjoyed this one (because I like your style of writing) yet you were playing a game with a friend and had less time to write narrative. I did not find it disjointed, I just yearned for more depth is all.<br /><br />The terrain was striking, but like Bryan, I longed for more photos, and more close ups of the action (to make it live and breathe). See I don`t complain, I`m actually paying you a complement by telling you what I missed from it.<br /><br />But I enjoyed it :)Hilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786352646244095934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-25431228678231387662016-07-18T16:19:25.095+01:002016-07-18T16:19:25.095+01:00Have fun with it dude (the read not the bathroom) ...Have fun with it dude (the read not the bathroom) :-)Da Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-13300446410522064222016-07-18T16:18:10.901+01:002016-07-18T16:18:10.901+01:00Agreed Bryan, I should have gone back with my note...Agreed Bryan, I should have gone back with my notes and shot some afterwardDa Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-17185233838604050252016-07-18T16:17:01.986+01:002016-07-18T16:17:01.986+01:00Thank you sir Awdry, glad you liked themThank you sir Awdry, glad you liked themDa Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-33852169507442614182016-07-18T14:05:57.971+01:002016-07-18T14:05:57.971+01:00Very well written batrep, but I would have loved t...Very well written batrep, but I would have loved to have seen more photos. Yeah, I know, it's so easy to forget when you're wrapped up in the action against another opponent. With solo games you have all the time in the world and so it's less of a problem.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-13968402556583760372016-07-18T14:02:25.469+01:002016-07-18T14:02:25.469+01:00Great to see the boards in action, wonderful repor...Great to see the boards in action, wonderful reports Sir.
