Re: Heroscape Skirmish Assault with PDF Rulebook: 1-13-17
Well met! Intriguing idea. For the Gang, I'd suggest doing the following, as opposed to using stickers: After the OM turns have been taken, but before the first Exhaustion turn, insert a common squad consolidation phase. Units may be redistributed on common cards for efficiency. Example: 7 Knights of Weston are on 3 cards, 2/3/2. During this phase, they are consolidated onto 2 cards, 4/3. Markers (small, colored pebbles) would be used to indicate which units have moved during Exhaustion of a particular common card. P.S.: Or even better, reduce to one card per common, add a marker for each squad it represents. Last edited by kolakoski; September 23rd, 2018 at 06:18 PM. |

@kolakoski
, commons are still pretty flexible with the order marker phase, Using whatever you want to tell them apart is fun. This game version just allows every figure to be activated once per round, with a couple getting an extra boost with the order markers at the front of the round. This is a great format to run for all those players that don't have tons of common figures and want to get all of the heroes into the action. Have fun with it, I have.

Re: Heroscape Skirmish Assault with PDF Rulebook: 1-13-17
Well now, since Kolakoski just saw this thread and asked me what I thought about it, here's my response:
Back not too long after after Heroscape first came out, I used this system without the Order Markers--except for the Passing Rule for the side with fewer cards, which is great--so as an old wargamer I could solitaire a giant game using my whole collection (much smaller back then) of Evil--Utgar, who had almost as many cards as everyone else--vs Good. I put poker chips on each card as it was used each turn rather than rotating them, so I could still read the cards easily. The Good side had more staying power the one time I tried it out, because Saylind would Summon wounded heroes back to the safe rear area 'hospital' on the giant board, where Kelda would heal them! If I was doing it again, I'd use my own custom Evil Healer (Adele the Pain Giver, see my customs thread) to help counter that tactic, if the other two were in play! Its lots of fun. I already use the sticker system shown here, just because... And as TRex mentions, since it goes much faster, you can use more cards on each side if you like big games, or just play a larger battle with only two players! Nice work on developing the idea! |

Since the sudden interest here again. I will finish up my Heroscape Assault version 2.0 pdf. This has got about 3 things to add to the older pdf that simplify the common cards issue and also fix a couple things that make it oh so much more fun.

I finished adding the latest tweaks along with the new Common Army Card Attachment all in New PDF documents in the OP along with new images of all the PDF's. These latest changes for Heroscape Skirmish Assault make it even more fun. Hope you all enjoy this as much as I do.

Re: Heroscape Skirmish Assault with PDF Rulebook:Update:9/26
This seems like it could be pretty fun.
As much as I love how the Heroscape rules work it has always bothered me just a little bit the idea that a few figures do all the moving and attacking in a round while the others just seemingly stand around and watch. I'm a player that will put all 3 OM's on one hero for a round. I've just conceptualized the idea that everyone who is just standing around is actually also fighting the whole time, they just are not having any interesting results and the only potentially interesting results for the round are taking place where the OM's are revealed. So when the KMA don't have an OM revealed during a round, they are ducking and hiding and shooting at something, they just aren't doing any damage. Then when they do reveal and OM, whether or not they do any damage is determined by the dice rolls. That helps me some with the theme of the limited activations, but not the mechanics of some units not getting to roll any dice because the odds are not as good for them as another unit. So having a system where everyone gets to take a turn no matter how good they are is certainly appealing. Tracking the common squad figures also means they balance better with the unique squads now. One thing I didn't pick up on right away after reading through the rules was that all the (#ed?) OM must be revealed in the first 3 (or 4 if the X can be used for a turn here) of the round's turns, then you start with the exhaustion turns, but based on comments in the thread I now believe that is the case. Did you try it in testing that the OM reveals could take place at any time during the round instead of only at the very beginning? |

Re: Heroscape Skirmish Assault with PDF Rulebook:Update:9/26
This seems awsome!
Im going to try it wit this game mode http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php...01532404556189 A few questions, 1: Do we still have the x order marker as decoy? Or is it completely removed? 2: can one Army card have more then one Order marker (just like regular rules?) 3: you place order markers before roll for initiative? 4: I dont understand what you meam by this, can you explain furthur? Quote: ”Another thing worth not forgetting is commons are allowed their regular rules during the om turns if you have them on commons.” |

Re: Heroscape Skirmish Assault with PDF Rulebook:Update:9/26
I have a question about the bonding rule.
If I activate a AC with an OT, and that figures ability can activate another AC, I dont rotate that AC 90deg? But if I activate a AC by rotate it 90deg, and the figures ability can activate another AC, then I rotate that AC 90deg aswell. Have I understood correctly? |
