HoSS Master Set Update
Posted May 1st, 2013 at 04:26 PM by truth
The Force is with you, young HoSS...

...but you are not a Jedi yet.
As we have been preparing for our Master Set Release, The Force has been with us. We have made great progress:
Work remaining:
We discussed doing a partial release on May 4th, but most of us felt that waiting until we are completely ready would be best. So we are diligently working on it. We hope that the remainder of the work will only delay us a few weeks. As always, we appreciate any help we can get from the community! Please check out the HoSS Public Playtesting Thread.

...but you are not a Jedi yet.
As we have been preparing for our Master Set Release, The Force has been with us. We have made great progress:
- Finalized and carded 9 of the planned 17 units, with 2 more that are very close behind. (see the HoloNet News thread for a minis list)
- Map list is final or near final. Thanks to the community for all of the excellent submissions to our map contest!
- HoSS Rule Book is nearly complete.

Work remaining:
- Finish up testing on the remaining 6 cards. Most of the designs are close, and just need some playtests to validate powers/cost.
- A couple of the remaining units have a bit of design work and discussion still going on to get them right.
- Map testing still remains for some of the maps that will be included in the release.
- Rulebook needs some photos to be shot, after which the final layout can be completed.

We discussed doing a partial release on May 4th, but most of us felt that waiting until we are completely ready would be best. So we are diligently working on it. We hope that the remainder of the work will only delay us a few weeks. As always, we appreciate any help we can get from the community! Please check out the HoSS Public Playtesting Thread.

It is unfortunate that we will miss our May 4th release date, but it is better to ensure everything is completely ready so that we don't give you a sub-par product.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. |

How about some teaser releases like we got for some of the original waves. Just a figure or two or maybe a cool mechanic.
Also hoping to get onto the play testing thread this weekend. I shouldn't but I am excited for this release and want to help it get here. |

Glad to hear your holding off. As much I want to see it, a forced, unbalanced release sounds like a great way to destroy your own reputation.

VERY psyched about HoSS!
I can wait as long as it takes for everything to be as perfect as possible, and my excitement will remain high. Sorry for not being able to help with playtesting. Hopefully my in-home play group will be ready in about five years... |

Just played the Tusken Raiders. They help some old Classic units and create a new build that is really fun. Go sign up!
