However, someone attempted to scale the miniatures based on base size from Knight Models to Crisis Protocol and maybe some models could work and maybe terrain will work better than I initially thought: Idk...Not a perfect methodology (angles and such) used here but maybe ... maybe. The terrain is the biggest red flag to me--moreso than the pricing. I was a bit resistant to Legion's scale change too, but then I fell in love with painting bigger models. I'm still just curious about the game ... Even their bases are a bit outside the orthodox at 35mm, 50mm, or 65mm. The miniature packs will come with the miniatures, additional tactics cards (similar to Imperial Assault command cards--except the tactics cards are always open to the other player to see and know what they are), a crisis card, and a sheet of tokens. |

Spoiler Alert!
Before building a mission, players build a team of 10 models. After the threat level is chosen, players then build a squad of figures (using only models from their team) with a total threat level that is equal or less than the chosen threat level. Adapted a bit, this could be a clever way for doing campaign play in Heroscape ... their rulebook is available here: https://www.atomicmassgames.com |

Craig Van Ness is doing a creative commons print and play game. There is a discussion board to help playtest the game and create new factions. I created a thread over here to talk about it, but you should really check out the Massive Core site itself.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
As much as I have recently been more tempted to get into Marvel Crisis Protocol, because it looks so darn cool. I like the way they set up the scenarios with each player revealing their half of the scenario cards at the same time and then choosing your crew for that scenario out of the 10 characters you put in your list. I like that characters get power tokens for each wound they receive and other ways, and then can use those power tokens as a resource to pay for powers. I like that you can throw things and break things. But, it would be expensive and take away from games I already have and enjoy.
That said, I did preorder the Marvel Champions LCG announced by FFG. It seems like a cross between LotR LCG and Arkham Horror LCG. I watched some videos and it looks really cool. They seem to have finally gotten smart at FFG and made this core set totally complete, so you don't have to buy other core sets to get some of the cards not included in just one set. It also seems to be setup to make deck-building easier and less intimidating for newbies and that will make it easier to teach and get others into. But I believe they will add to it over time to give those that love to spend time trying to maximize their decks and such. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/...ions-card-game Anyway, I haven't bought a non-miniatures game related game in awhile, but I can't pass on being able to get my superhero fix. It plays solo and co-op, so it will definitely get played and I won't have to paint anything 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 |

But Champions has our attention and if it can push Marvel Legendary from one of the go-to supers card games, we'll keep it getting more. The game looks pretty neat and I think they had a good team of designers on the game. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
I’m intrigued but not convinced it’ll give me anything Sentinels of the Multiverse doesn’t already.
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

And I've read comments from people that also are interested in it over Legendary, because in Legendary, you get cards from several heroes and don't feel like you are playing as one specific hero. Sentinels lets you play as a hero and Champions does too, so then it's a matter of people's preference as far as Marvel vs generic heroes and more accessible vs less so. We'll see.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Yeah, I'm curious if they're different enough to justify both is more what I'm saying. Sentinels is one of my top three games of all time and I play it a ton, so if it's a similar vibe but a different enough feel, it might be worth my checking out both. I'm on the fence, though.
Helps not to have any money to spend, I guess! C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Played Richard Borg's Battle of Britain (PSC). This is a non Commands & Colors game of his that he redid. I went through a game solo to get the rules down, and then had a pal come over. Using his big roll up map, which I don't have although we both have the game, and my new croupier (push) sticks, we had a fun time! We also played a couple of games of the friend's copy of Sagrada, which he brought along.
To celebrate Eric M. Lang's recent announcement of his third upcoming myth trilogy game Ankh: Gods of Egypt, whose Kickstarter will be offered at the end of the year, I'll be playing two away games of Rising Sun over the next two weeks, and hosting Blood Rage here. These earlier games in the series are two of my favorites, and I own them both. |
