Pap...I shall have to grab a copy if I can find it!<br /><br />Paper gaming mats are fine with me as I've been footling around with Battletech again!SpacecowSmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05526363535587059611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859305602092480700.post-50609284584193725372021-10-08T01:49:13.083+00:002021-10-08T01:49:13.083+00:00The game is almost free, like $5 (€5 for me) as it...The game is almost free, like $5 (€5 for me) as it's OOP and no-one wants it.<br /><br />Considering it comes with double sided paper matt (folded like a poster, which is both crappy but....retro?), 8 custom dice, rules and cards / tokens for every unit in the game ( there's the unreleased fig official cards too, for free and fan made cards for mishima, cyber and imperial ) you have a game system that gives you:<br /><br />Idiot proof ruleset.<br />Really Fast games.<br />For once, fun army building.<br /><br />Won't argue whether or not it's balanced, specially with that kind of token related army building mechanism but for that price tag to get an alternate way of using your MC minis IMHO it's worth trying.<br /><br />Wife will die before playing warzone or something alike. But she played this.

It's been so that it kinda spawned VOID and after VOID came Infinity.<br /><br />I played warhammer 40k 2nd but everything I saw Warzone models on a shelf...wow, they captivated me.<br /><br />Also have had the books for ages and always wanted to sculpt my own forces but you know, that's an insane amount of time and effort.<br /><br />Matter or fact , weeks ago I got the collectible miniatures game from fantasy flight for 5€ in hopes to finally do sculpt a thing, as that setting always triggered my imagination.<br /><br />The game plays on a paper matt, needs no measuring nor scenery and came with custom dice (their color meaning how strong or precise will results be) and a whole deck of unit cards with stats, so at that price tag, was a no brainer proxy fodder.<br /><br />Glad to see some chronicles love around 😉javihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00242836231493748919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859305602092480700.post-24394535430589394872021-07-21T21:29:10.660+00:002021-07-21T21:29:10.660+00:00Thanks!

They are games I never got, but the joy you have for them breathes the settings to life, in a way most blogs aspire to. It would be tough for me to make the jump from Gamesworkshop at this point, but with posts like these, the pull is strong.
