Made in Hong Kong.

I remember as a kid how rare it was to find something not made in Hong Kong, especially if it was made of plastic.

Ok, so Ive been playing Imperial assault skirmish grid less lately with my brothers and some of their friends, and I had made a couple of tweaks to it to make it great. Back before I went off the grid, I wanted to play it on heroscape hexes. In making it grid less , the same works for the heroscape hexes for figures that fit the hexes. So I figured I'd share.
To play on the hex bases with 3d terrain:
1. True line of sight instead of the grid determining line of sight.(Like Heroscape)
2. 1 move/range point equals 1 hex. (simple enough)
3. Modifiers to having cover when being attacked by range. If at least 50% of the character is blocked by cover or other figures add 1 black die to the defense roll.
4. Elevation. Count elevation just like heroscape when moving or figuring range. There is no height bonus for this game though.

Keep in mind, I just figured this stuff out when figuring out my Hex less rules Which are just 1.5 inches per 1 move/range on my measuring sticks. Using base to base when attacking. Here are some pics of our last game in this other post I shared. I know quite a few of you star wars guys might like this though.

Solo trailer dropped this morning:

TREX · #**1085** February 5th, 2018, 07:42 PM

Thanks for sharing @Yodaking . I love starwars. I didnt find myself getting excited about that trailer. I think its because they have so much material to use and they dont use any of it. There are so many other stories with a better interest to me. Heck, id even like it if they did a movie based on the force unleashed video game.

I'll go and see it as I do find it interesting, but you are right that the trailer didn't send chills up my spine like some of the earlier new SW trailers have. I think market saturation has led to it not being as special as it once was to get a new SW movie. After just having 3 for 30 years and then 3 more and told that is it, we are getting 1 per year now. I've always been drawn to the anti-hero roles though so Solo is right up my alley for a non-light sabre SW film. I also think Disney has been playing it a bit safe since they took over, sticking as close to the original trilogy as they can. Now that those initial foray's have made enough money to pay for the Lucas Films purchase, hopefully they can take more risks and branch out some. I'd love to see a film set 200+ years before the prequels that features another Jedi vs. Sith (or other dark force user type) story during the time of the Republic. I'd be okay with a younger Yoda showing up but that is about it.

Well said. No chills for me either. If they do it up like they they did rogue one it will be awesome.

Hahma · #**1088** February 5th, 2018, 10:45 PM

Well for me, this does look awesome, and like Trex said, if it ends up being like Rogue One, it will be fantastic.

I didn't see The Last Jedi, as I'll wait to rent it. I was so disappointed in The Force Awakens, that I didn't want to bother with TLJ. But...Rogue One was great and that's the kind of Star Wars I like. Kind of done with the Jedi stuff.

Yodaking · #**1089** February 5th, 2018, 11:15 PM

Yeah, Rogue One is easily my favorite SW film made since the first 3. Better than any of the prequels or sequels.

Agreed, I also agree that the new Solo trailer didn't do anything for me. As for the last Jedi..... I'd rather watch Force Awakens.

Wow! That's saying something. I didn't like Force Awakens, so I should really stay away from renting Last Jedi.

Lots of people that didn't like Force Awakens (like me) liked Last Jedi.
