Re: Battlefields of Marvel (BoM) Discussion Thread
In the interest of keeping this project alive, I will offer my vote for:
Skirmish Under the Park by tom I built this map and was immediately very impressed with the overall stability of it. The pillars are well placed to allow players to freely move around the board without fear of the entire map falling over. Both levels exhibit a great deal of thought and aesthetically, they match up quite well with the "real world," which I like quite a bit. The Raelin fountainpiece is truly a bit of genius, especially with the ability to throw her around if you play with the extra rules. Playing this map was fun and challenging. The fun part was moving figures up and down through the holes, and battling along the chokepoints in each map. The challenge of playing this map is maneuvering pieces on the bottom level into the spots where you desire to place them. Also, determining LOS is impossible in several portions of the map where pillars block the players from being able to see from the LOS point. Overall, I like the map, but there are some serious concerns I have as well. Double-spaced figures are stuck on the bottom level. This is obvious a serious concern mainly for units like Krug and Grimnak (who I use often in my games since they are effective against Marvel figures). Also, while the map as a whole is spectacular, each half of the map is rather bland. So, for slow-moving units (KoW, Minions/Sentinels, etc.) the inability to make it across all of the flat space causes some serious problems. On both the lower and upper levels, cover is sparce, except from the pillars on the lower and the warehouse on the upper. I like the map, but it is simply not spectacular enough for me to be able to say is a great map. With some more variance in height and cover on both levels, and the addition of a way for double-spaced figures to move between levels, this map could pass with my approval, but lacking those things, I vote NO on this map.

Re: Battlefields of Marvel (BoM) Discussion Thread
I will also give my vote for Skirmish Under the Park by Tom.
I feel exactly the same at ET86. I absolutely love this maps looks. It you have not played a game on this map, grab 3 of your closest friends and you will have a ball. The problem is the double spaced figures that ET86 discussed. This must be fixed for it to get approved. I also will vote "No", but I'm hating myself for doing it.

Re: Battlefields of Marvel (BoM) Discussion Thread
Thanks for crushing my soul guys.........................., maybe....
I definitely understand the reasons why you guys voted no for Skirmish and I agree with them. Thanks for taking the time to review it. Maybe if I get some time this Summer I will revisit the map. Perhaps I will add some teleportation devices to allow the double wides to go between the different levels. As for the difficulties with LOS and lack of cover, any suggestions would be welcome. |

Re: Battlefields of Marvel (BoM) Discussion Thread
I know I'm probibly kicked off by now but so are most of us. So to sorta bring this back I'm going to log some votes.
Trouble At ScapeCity Zoo: I love the business of this map and it's very fun to play on. My problems are how this field severely limits Double spaced figures, how the castle pillars are on the table, And how easily a fight can become a stalemate. It's good but now great so NO to accept. Wayne Manor: I agree with wht ET96 said, the window, the staircase. So sorry but NO to review.

Vydar, You got to stop the kicked off talk. That clause is for someone who just diasappears forever. We are all here still. This project will continue it's just a few of us have some things going on for the past two months. We will go peddle to the metal again in August.
By the way, check out the Transformer Project. Almost done! PROUD MEMBER OF THE 2013 "BEAT BY XANTH" CLUB Play the Mines of Moria Campaign , Helm's Deep Campaign , and Minas Tirith Campaign from Lord of the Rings today.

Re: Battlefields of Marvel (BoM) Discussion Thread
Sorry for the double post, but I'm ready to do some votes.
The Museum of "Valuable Artifacts All Super Villians Want"by Jodokast has got to be the coolest name of all time. The problem is the map does not deliver on the name. With a name like this, I would expect a grand entrance with maybe a giant staircase to the second floor. There even could be statues lining the hall with a way that you can bring them to life (maybe all ROTV figures like Mimring, Raelin, Finn, etc.). Think "Night at the Museum" Lobby. The map currently is pretty basic with two start zones and a building in between. Jodokast, great great great idea! I think you just need to work on a version two. If you come up with one, I would love to review it. - Pete PROUD MEMBER OF THE 2013 "BEAT BY XANTH" CLUB Play the Mines of Moria Campaign , Helm's Deep Campaign , and Minas Tirith Campaign from Lord of the Rings today.

Re: Battlefields of Marvel (BoM) Discussion Thread
Believe it or not, I am ready to put in some votes here.
I completely agree with Peteparkerh that the "Museum" map has the coolest name of all time, but unfortunately, a map needs more than a cool name. This is just a straight board with a building in the middle. There is little too it that would make for an interesting battle. One of the ideas behind BOM was to have maps that are both asthetically pleasing and playable, and unfortunately, this one lacks both. I am going to say no to reviewing this map. However I look forward to seeing an updated version sometime. Jungle Lab is a very fun map. I had an opportunity to play it several times and had a blast playing it with a lot of fun moments(Dr. Doom mind controlling Raelin and having her fly into the Lava comes to mind ). I think that this is a map that deserves a chance to be reviewed. I say yes to reviewing Jungle Lab. "A good teacher is like a candle: it consumes itself to light the way for others." -Anonymous |
