You have an iPhone connection to the net only? Bummer, no TF2 for you. Still you have an iPhone, so that's gotta be cool. Apple hasn't deemed Australia worthy to have them in the country as yet. Maybe 2008 will be the year...

That's a better way to word it.

Or we can do your version:

Advantages: High chance of taking extra burn damage, scary, more options to avoid.
Disadvantages: Could be difficult to track if the Pyro uses his Flame Thrower on subsequent turns effecting the same or different figures.

What if it was a combination of both ideas? Such as...

No rounds to count but still the possibility for it to last a couple of turns. What do you think?

The Engy's Sentry card has proven to be more difficult than I thought. I'll post it as soon as I can.

What Australia lacks in iPhones, it more than makes up for in beautiful, fun-loving women. So I don't feel too bad for y'all. Besides, at least you have Heroscape and TF2!

I like your blended version. That should do it for the pyro. Next up... Sniper and Medic!

I'll think about them as soon as I finish up the Pyro card. In the meantime, feel free to throw down your ideas.

I finally finished the first of the Engineer's build cards.

Comments?

That looks gorgeous and practical! The card not the girl, that is... Or maybe both...

(1) If they all have have the same life, it's going to make it more difficult to bring down. Is it possible to have a little blood splatter/ life indicator next to each glyph? Or is that too tricky for PS?

(2) there needs to be a LOS clause in the autoturret text.

Other than that, excellent work!

The Sniper

4 L
6 M
6 R
3 A
3 D

Sniper Rifle
We can easily use deadeye dan's ability here but make it 3 undefendable dice and...

Headshot
If the sniper rolls all hits on his Sniper Rifle special attack, the target is automatically destroyed.

Sorry for the delay but RealLifetm has been a bit hectic.

I hoped that it would be alright. It was a bit of a bugger to figure out.

I probably can get rid of the blood splatter but I don't know how it would look next to each glyph. What if I put the life number next to the range and attack number in the text part?

I'll get onto that.

This all good bar the range which I think is a bit on the short side. I was thinking at least 8-10.

I think Dan's ability would work well but I'm not sure that the headshot would happen very often. With added height how often do you roll 4 dice and get 4 skulls? What if we add the Omnicron Snipers deadly shot instead? That would give the Sniper some real bite.

I won't get onto any card work until at least tomorrow due to a busy schedule. I'll try to get the Pyro done as well as the Sentry.

Did you see the medic thread I accidently made?

The Medigun
After moving and instead of attacking, remove up to two wound markers from any friendly, adjacent unit's army card, placing them in the Ubercharge Guage below.

Ubercharge Guage.
[a small box, or 8 little circles goes here]
When the box above contains 8 wound markers, the Medic is Ubercharged. He may continue to use his Medigun, but extra wound markers are discarded until the Ubercharge is fully spent.

Ubercharge
Before moving, the Medic may declare his Ubercharge. After any Order Marker is revealed, remove one token from the Ubercharge Gauge above. As long as at least one token remains in the Gauge, the Medic and one friendly, adjacent unit are immune to all damage.

Hey, you're the expert and you're doing all the fingerwork. I leave that decision to you.

I was thinking his normal attack would be his little machine gun. If we gave him 3 undefendable dice on the Sniper Rifle and Deadly Shot then the Headshots would pretty much take care of themselves. As a special attack, he doesn't get the benefit of height.

Oh and good luck with that Realife™ thing. I don't know about you, but I think my setting is on Hard sometimes.

Well if you call yourself a gamer, you do yourself a disservice (especially if you enjoy stories in games) if you pass on the Half-life series. Team Fortress was originally a Quake mod but really came into its own as a Half-life mod called Team Fortress Classic. Valve saw the opportunity to turn it into its own spinoff and thus created Team Fortress 2 and included it in the Orange Box along with the latest episode of Half-life 2. I can't recommend it highly enough.
