Re: Looking for a board game that plays like Heroscape
I don't know if I would say very similar, but it is a solid simple miniatures skirmish game. It is probably a bit more complex than scape though.

Re: Looking for a board game that plays like Heroscape
Let's not forget about Monsterpocalypse..it's similar in many ways to Heroscape - changeable terrain, miniature squads and heroes....and reasonably simple rules. They even have a 2-player boxed starter set!

Re: Looking for a board game that plays like Heroscape
Opps, I thought I was in "What board game are you playing" and posted my game report here by mistake. Oh well. I will use this edit to mention another game instead. I think Smallworld also has some similarities with Heroscape. There are a few different maps you can play, a variety of races and special abilities and such, great game and much less expensive. Also Battle for Hill 218 plays like Summoner wars, not like Heroscape of course, you could say Summoner Wars is a bit of both of those games. Sorry I'm not coming up with games that are that much like Heroscape but I had already mentioned the one that was. At least this is on the subject unlike my first post.

"The one interesting connection to the original Battleship game is the method of determining hits. The attacking player rolls two dice—one (ten-sided) has letters and one (eight-sided) has numbers—and calls out the resulting combination, as in “G-5.” The player who’s ship was targeted looks up the result on a matrix on the target ship’s reference card. An overlay of the ship’s profile will indicate whether the die roll is a hit or miss." So am I to assume that the combat is random based off of what you roll? You can't really target ships? I guess what I am asking is how exactly is combat dealt? I do wish they wouldn't have put the Battleship tag on it. I guess they do that to draw in the casual gamers, but it's such a rehashed name at this point. The minis in this game look simply amazing. That alone makes me want to get this game. Heroscape is a gateway into a wonderful world of games that I never would've known existed otherwise. |

You make the tactical decisions. You are not firing blindly hoping to hit something like in the classic game. The coordinate dice determine whether or not your attack was successful. That is probably all I should share at this time. |

Re: Looking for a board game that plays like Heroscape
Well, just another note: You move and attack with the ships, similiar to scape. The ships do not remain stationary as in the original game.
