Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Just played heavens of Olympus, 2 games of Dominion, and 5 games of heroscape at a tournament yesterday. Olympus was a nice Euro game. I tied for first and won both 3 player games of Dominion (someone extended the game and gave me a chance to win, i did). I also went 4-1 at the Louisville Tournament and got second place using the Elf Wizard army.
I had a blast yesterday! |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Yesterday was a good day of gaming. Here is the rundown:
Quarriors x2 - Fun little game. I like the dice and the attacking amongst players. Not earth shattering, but I enjoy it more than Dominion. Navegador - My first of this game my buddy learned and bought at GenCon. It was a good deep euro game with a rondel. I liked it and would play it again. The Resistance x3 - Three very good games of this one with lots of back and forth and lying. I like this because you get right down to finding the spy. No other gamey stuff to slow it down. BSG still has its place for me, but I really like The Resistance. Dune x2 - I love this game and want to play it all the time. First was a super fast Atreides win and the second was a joint Harkonnen/Atreides victory after a long attrition fest. Traitors abounded and my lasegun slew many foes. |

I found a sealed copy of this at Goodwill for $1.99 a month ago. Giant worm cover, no Sting in sight. Here's my final review for a little while on Martian Dice. A simple game that packs a ton of fun in such a little can. Enjoy! http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/6862...ld-em-know-whe I got to get working on writing up my variant report on The Adventurers The Temple Of Chac! Heroscape is a gateway into a wonderful world of games that I never would've known existed otherwise. |

Has anyone here played Warmachines? They have $250 bucks worth of Warmachine stuff for $100 bucks at my game store. Is it worth playing? I've never played a minis game outside of Heroscape, but I love competative gaming. |

I spent the picnic demoing Warmachine. Hopefully I stirred up some interest. I was surprised how many people had stuff that they've never played with. |

What's the best way to get started in Warmachine? That 2 player starter box is coming out, but the individual faction starter boxes seem easier if 1 person isn't buying trying to stir up interest with his friends. |

Haven't done much in the way of gaming lately, though I really want to get my hands on that Gears of War game, as it sounds superb. Plus, the AI sounds really difficult to fight against. Need miniatures painted? People to trade with: sixthflagbearer Callipygian girls make the world go 'round. |

http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/the-game http://privateerpress.com/hordes/the-game We actually played most of our first games with cardboard circles and these printed out rules. As for getting into the game, I really think the most important thing to do is pick a Warcaster you want to play. They really serve as your avatar in the game and have a huge impact on how your army plays (which is great later since you can swap your Warcaster and have a totally different playstyle with the same army). Once you've got a caster picked out, you can put together ~15 points worth of stuff to make your own battlebox. Here's a couple good links to browse around for info: http://www.forwardkommander.com/ http://battlecollege.wikispaces.com/ |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Finished up a 15mm Napoleanic miniature battle that our group started last month (3 vs. 2 players). The French were in pretty good shape to get their victory conditions by getting 2 regiments across the road that our Austrians were trying to hold. My infantry units on the right flank(my responsibility) had been getting decimated and routed, but at a critical time my cavalry unit sent 3 of the French cavalry units back 12" to regroup, even though it cost me that cav unit. The French had 2 regiments literally on the road and would cross on their next and last turn, but an Austrian cavalry unit from the center player on our team charged through the French units on the road and next to them and forced them into "square formation", which basically stopped them from being moved on the following turn as they can't move while in square. The center and left flanks were held and in good shape, but due to some bad command rolls on my part (needed to roll 8 or less on 2 d6 to move my infantry to better attacking formations) our right flank was in trouble, but fortunately held out just enough because of 2 great cavalry actions.
Currently I'm in the middle of playtesting the third map/scenario for my DnD variant rules for Heroscape. The first adventure party that's carrying over from the second map is Tandros Kreel (who just got to level 2 and carries the Whetstone Glyph), Ana Karithon ( who just got to level 2), Rhogar Dragonspire (who just got to level 3) and Brandis Skyhunter (who just got to level 3 and carries the Heroic Rune and Talisman of Defense). They have to defeat either Moltenclaw or Shurrak to win and move on, but in the meantime, they have to go through a bunch of other baddies. So far they have beaten Othkurik, Gurei-Oni and Torin. After a couple months off this project, I'm finally getting back into it After I test out this map/scenario with lots of parties and variations, I only have 4 more maps to test out for a total of 7 Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you ...Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man TUTORIAL FOR RE-BASING FIGURES 3hrs 43mins 32secs = 1242nd of 8808 overall - 1988 Honolulu Marathon |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Played a bit of Ticket to Ride Europe this weekend. My strategy as of late has been to discard my longest route, and try to make up for it with more shorter routes. Has not panned out well thus far, as I finished in 3rd.
