dude, greyowl, skyknight's clearly not really trying to put out any argument whatsoever. Come on - a comment like "The best way I can think to answer you is like this....when you take the two sets and blend them together you are going to find they are incompatible. So I guess the aspects that I am concentrating on are the incompatibilities. Hope that clears it up." from a guy as smart as sky? He's just being goofy. Time to start laughing with him (or at him! )

Have you ever heard the phrase "just messin with you?"

Exactly!

I'm imagining it is quite likely they won't answer them. Especially WotC. They probably already have a canned answer:

Dear WishfulDreamer:
Thank you for contacting Hasbro with your question about Heroscape Marvel.

As indicated in the name "Heroscape Marvel" this release of the Build and Battle game system is comprised of its own system under the Marvel genre and is not intended to be combined with the Valhalla genre.

I hope that answers your question(s). If there is anything else I can help you with, please visit www.hasbro.com or respond to this e-mail.

And then everyone can freak out and say that the answer is completely contradictory to what Craig said in the podcast, and many messages will be exchanged, and Craig will have to spend a bunch of time trying to figure out answers to combinations they didn't play test. Next thing you know, it will be Sept 08 before we see Wave 8.

Play whatever you want with whatever you want. But don't get too bent out of shape if Hasbro won't support your questions on it.


Oh, and to all of you still trying to argue with SkyKnight...

He is yanking your chain, if you hadn't been able to tell

ok, bunjee, loving the quoting of a fictional email here! good stuff.

Please, Lord, let this be true. Is there a petition we can sign? No Squadscape in the Marvel realm?

But we need the military units for the super villains to destroy en masse.

Heroscape needs a few more "modern" military units anyway. Just make any sort of "fodder" unit a Heroscape Common squad and if we want to use them that way, we'll just mix the two games a bit. I already plan to use Microcorp Agents as SHIELD troops until something better comes along.

Bubu...but... but it states quite clearly in chapter 16, verse 8 that "Thou shalt not play the Marro alongside the Spider... that is Abomination!!1!"

And again in chapter 21, verse 187... "Do not test Hasbro, for it is a powerful and vengeful gamemaker."

And finally in chapter 32, verse something-or-other... "Sgt. Drake wept."

I appologize for the bolded profanity above.

And this as well. Maybe Spider-Man should just stop being such a wimp. To think he was my favorite superhero as a kid. I still have a soft spot for him though.

I have a soft spot for Spidey too. It's his humanity that makes him entertaining I think. If he was just a straight up killer or soldier like Wolverine or Cap, he'd be less interesting.

Although there was a cool issue where Spidey got really really pissed and let loose on Iron Man, completely beating the crap out of him and encasing him in webbing....I saw preview pages of it in a copy of Wizard or the back of some other comic. Cool stuff.
