Lumia 620(Ram 512Mb class) Wp8, it says "Content not available". I suppose since it's still fresh uploaded, and I'm in Italy.

Can't wait to try it Thanks!

When it says "Content not available", what exactly was it you were doing. I'm just trying to get a feel for the issue so I have an idea of where to start fixing the issue. For the Windows Phones, I'm going to have to rely on the users to tell me what the issues are since I don't have a Windows Phone or tablet to test on, just the emulator on my pc and that seemed to be working fine.

The Windows version is now live at: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/the-breach/079e3f8f-739e-4378-a176-ae9c59dc5e47

I'm also building an quick android update as we speak to update the FAQ. The version I'm getting out right now has the latest FAQ in it. In time, I want to try and link people to the Live FAQ page if you have a connection to the internet, but I'm currently doing it this way so that people can access the FAQ while offline.

I'm planning on making the buttons bigger (I'm thinking about 50% or so) when I've got a chance since a bunch of people have asked for that, just trying to get everything nailed down and approved on the different stores so people can access them.

It'll be at least a few days because apple typically has a 3-4 day queue for approving apps to be on the store. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do to spwe'd up the process, since once it's sent off to Apple, it's out of my hands. Also have to go through this process every time there is an update and if you fail, you have to fix the issue and resubmit the app again.

Got a reply from Microsoft and the app is approved. They are saying it should be published on the store 'in a few hours'

If you use a  attack action on your own wrestler and it randomizes to the enemy wrestler, does it fail then? 

We played it that if you randomize and it ends up being the wrong one, then it fails since it cant target them. Would need a clarification on that one.

What is the I pay better upgrade? I'm not seeing it anywhere.

It's a Wave 3 upgrade, although I recall Justin mentioning wanting to get the generic upgrades out with Wave 2 if possible. It's an Outcast upgrade that say any merc in 10 inches can discard a card at the start of it's activation to gain focused +1.

The Window Phone 8 app was just sumbitted and hopefully should be going up on the store pretty soon (although Microsoft is saying it can take up to 5 business days) for anyone that is interested. I'm also going to be releasing an android update to fix a couple of small issues that needed to be addressed and they were fixed in the process of generating the Windows and iOS versions. Once you can get it, please let me know how it works, since I only have the emulator to go off of. If I get an email saying it is up, then I'll update here.

The iOS version should be getting finished up tonight and will be sent out as soon as it's ready.

The reasoning being, we both figured we would be winning the wrestling match combat which would net 2 vp guarenteed since the wrestlers can't be directly attacked by any unfriendly model other than the enemy wrestler.

My wifes plan was to put  Armor +6 on her golem then use Decembers Curse + Bite of Winter on her Golem (You CAN attack you're own wrestler) to put 5 blast damage on Killjoy while only doing 1 to her Golem, then her golem could easily Smash or use Icy Talon x 3 to take out Killjoy turn 1, leaving her Ice Golem essentially Immortal for the remainder of the game and able to do what it wants (except attack other models). Sub Zero was there as well to stop Killjoy from getting multiple attacks.

I planned on using Tara to protect Killjoy by keeping him buried until the last activation, giving him fast so I can get focused +3 on his turn with 'I Pay Better', Fast, and 1st AP (I assumed that Sub Zero would always go off) and get to cheat damage pretty easily. On top of that, the Librarian was going to spam healing on Killjoy. Finally, Tara's second activation each turn was going to bring killjoy back in position, then interact with him 1-2 times depending on if Tara needed to move.

Bodyguard was not a bad choice in this game, espically for my wife. If I hadn't gotten the red joker for damage, then this match would have gone a lot worse for me. The problem is, as my wife discovered, is that you're litterally betting it all on that 1 combat. If you win, it pays of tremendously. If you lose, then you're probably not going to win.

We talked about it and there are multiple ways to play this scenario and we came up with the following:

1 way is to try putting everything on the Wrestler, and bring support models to help it win (I thought about trying a Levi crew with either my own Ice Golem or Teddy, Metal Gamin, Vanessa to give extra attack, and Librarian to heal.) You can also help damage your opponents wrestler indirectly through blasts or pulse damage

Another way to play is to hope your opponent put a big, expensive guy in the center and bluff with a small minion who can get away easily and or can stand it's ground (Ten thunders has a couple of good options for this thanks to the Smoke & Shadows Upgrade or the Monk of the Low River), then just play keep away from him. This will neutralize your opponents high cost wrestler (and get few to no points since they probably bet high assuming they would win) because they don't score points for winning the Wrestling match until your Wrestler is dead. Meanwhile, you bet zero and play the game like normal, except with a cheap minion who can't be attacked

Obviously, you can play a mix of these 2 styles, but these 2 particular ideas seemed like the opposite ends of the spectrum for what you could do.

@Asrian - By multiplayer, I meant more along the lines of 3+ players, not the using of multiple wreslters. I kinda like the idea of 3 big beffy guys starting in the center of the map and going all out battle royale on each other.

If it follows the pattern, it will be Zoraida, the Voodoo Doll, Bad juju and 3 silurids. It'll work with Gremlins thanks to her Tarot Reading upgrade which lets her hire Swampfiends

This isn't so much a battle report as it is a comment on the sneak peak 'Fight Night' story encounter currently up here: http://www.gamewire.belloflostsouls.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Scenarios_Fight-Night.pdf

While is was kinda fun, my wife and I gave this one a go, to give her some more experience for the GenCon Story encounters and so she could see what Tara does in general. However, with the right schemes this can be very easy or very hard so you have to be careful

I bet 3 points on Killjoy, and for my schemes, I took Bodyguard on Killjoy and Outflank unrevealed.

My wife bet 4 points on Ice Golem, and for here schemes, she took Bodyguard (Ice Golem) and Murder Prot (Killjoy) revealed.

The turn was a bit mean on my part for giving killjoy fast and burying him with Tara. Everything from that point on progressed like a normal game with a couple of shots from both sides. I used the Trappers deployed in both corners to cover the board with fire, while Snow and the acolyte went after a the same trapper. Ronin begin moving to assist the trappers, and the Librarian supports Tara. Meanwhile Raspy and here gamin and essence move up the center to get where they give Ice Golem a total of +6 Armor.

The last activations were, Killjoy being brought back and given a buff of +1 Damage from the Ram on Stratgey by Tara, Ice Golem charging Killjoy and replacing Killjoy's fast with slow and bringing killjoy down to 3 wd remaining while suffering 3 Black Blood itself. Then killjoy goes and uses I Pay Better for Focused, then attacks gets the Red Joker for damage, only doing 6 after all is said and done, but bringing Ice Golem down to one.

We didn't get to much further because my wife requested we call it after the initiative flip of turn 2. The reasoning being that Killjoy would activate, kill Ice Golem, and she would effectivly be denied all 10 of her points for the game, and I would get at least 7 from being able to heal Killjoy and just walk him towards one of the outflank points.

One question we did have is what happens if one wrestler kills the other, but dies from some retaliation from the other wrestler (ie Black Blood, Shatter). Does the Activating player count as winning? Do both players loose out on points since neither wrestler is still in play? Could this be adapted to a multiplayer game (with a battle royale).

Guys/Gals, we get a new Chronicles on Aug. 1. That's when we'll see everything (that's my UNOFFICIAL speculation). I wouldn't expect anything (beyond the artwork we've seen) before the Chronicles. 

Makes sense. Kinda makes me wonder if they intentionally brought back the chronicles and FAQ on the months they did so that there is a chronicles right before GenCon and an FAQ right after.

Here is a GenCon countdown clock: http://countingdownto.com/countdown/gencon-2014-08-14-countdown-clock-0

Only about 16.5 days to go as of this posting.

So we are waiting on a new version of the CCto be uploaded then? I just checked Trixie and the problem is still there.

Yes. If you're refering to the Web version, I have sent off the updated file to Ratty allready, but he's the one that has to put it up since I don't have access to Wyrd's web server (I'll see if I can get a hold of him sometime tonight) If you mean, the mobile app, then that is waiting on me since I am the one that publishes that, and I'm waiting til I've got all 3 platforms ready to go before I push another update. Either way, please be patient, I know I'm hard at work on some things, and I can only imagine the Wyrd offices are 'all hands on deck' with GenCon being only 3 weeks away.

When making a Lucas McCabe list as Ten Thunders, if no totem is selected and you have 4 points Luna is available to hire both as a totem and from the regular model list.

 

The guild version of him does not do this.

This is starting to sound like an old version of the data got restored or something. When I did my latest list of fixes for the data, the Luna issue was allready on my list of fixed issues, plus I remember that issue being fixed several weeks back. The update I sent to Ratty last week should fix that.

Okay, so Trixie and Toshiro were allready fixed when I went to go update them just now (so no worries there). So those 2 are fixed in the most recent version of the data I sent to ratty yesterday. The Johan thing however, was a complete oversight on my part, and I'll get that in for the next update.

Trixiebelle isn't recognized as  a Henchman when hiring her into a crew though she is when she is used as a leader.

Would you mind elaborating? I'm just not exactly sure what the problem is. Is she missing some upgrades?

yeah, I haven't pushed out an update with the latest faq yet. That's part of what I'm doing trying to build the app for iOS and Windows right now. Once those 2 are done, android will be updated not long after.

They just announced that it is shipping as we speak. They're hoping to get all shippments out by the end of the month. 

Awesome, all those fixes are in.

Yeah, Spawn Mother should be an easy fix, but I don't have my stuff on hand so If someone could tell me what upgrade Ten Thunders Fingers can take, then I can get that fix out quickly.

Just updating here as well since I put this somewhere else, but I'm back working on this. My wife has very specific instructions to not let me do anything tonight that is not directly related to fixing issues with the crew creator, or developing the iOS and Windows Phone 8 versions. I'm certain I've gotten the correct version of the windows phone IDE and SDK now so getting that done shouldn't be to much of an issue, and hopefully the guys at apple don't make me jump through to many hoops to get the iOS version done.

I'm hoping to get this all ready for an official store release for all platforms in time for GenCon. It's going to be close so if I don't make it in time, please don't be mad. I'm going to be at GenCon this year so I you have any suggestions you'd like to see or issues you're having that you want me to look at and fix, let me know and I will do what I can. I'm also planning to take my stuff with me and release updates to get the latest book info released while I'm at GenCon.

Hey guys, this got pointed out to me so I figure I should touch base here and fix the issues. I know I've been gone for...how long now? I'm back working on this now, and my wife has specific insturctions to not let me work on anything at all except fixes for this and the iOS and Windows phone 8 versions of the mobile app until they are both done

As for the issues you guys have pointed out:

1) Correct, Spawn Mother's upgrade only allows the swamp fiends when she is leading. I'll fix that.

2) Ryle can't take lead lined coat if I'm not mistaken. Please Correct me if I'm wrong, but Lead Lined coat is restricted to Living and Ryle is a Construct.

3) Yes, Brewmaster is taking the wrong fingers when he is Ten Thunders, I can fix that, just need to figure out the correct upgrades he can take.

I'm pretty sure you already have better tools, as you said the hardest part is finding the latest version of Visual Studio

but since I inadvertently stepped into these

http://appstudio.windows.com/

http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/Windows-Phone/How-to-extend-an-App-Studio-app-using-Visual-Studio

We all WP users believe in you, Moose

So I was scanning through briefly.  Is there any update on a possible iOS availability date?  Excited to help test this out once it's available on my iPhone.

Don't worry, I'm still around and planning on doing this. I've not had a lot of time recently due to a death in the family. Once things settle down again, I will make releasing the iOS and Windows versions the #1 priority before adding anything else.

One personal request - under Crew Creator, please and another linebreak or two between Model and Mercenary. I keep fat fingering Mercenary trying to pick Model...and I'm a skinny guy.

No problem, I'll go ahead and add that.

As a dream future expansion, which would definitely need a much higher degree of permission from Wyrd, I'd love for there to be an in-game mode. Have it so you canload your crew and either load an opponent's crew, or create their crew, then replace the information from a the model's cards with the app (swipe between, wound models, summon models, track conditions). 

 

I'll be loading and testing out this app on a Galaxy S3 for now though. 

That is actually on my list of future ideas. Currently, other than getting the app deployed to other mobile devices, my 2 big additions I'd like to add are the Collection Manager and something to track games (All encounter info including both sides crews, conditions, wounds, scores, and the turn number).

Cool new stuff. The Summon List page is great. I was wanting something like that in my last game using Dreamer.

 

Only thing I saw was a typo in the Menu: 'Stratgey & Schemes'

Thanks, I'm notoriously bad about missspelling Strategy (actually almost did it right there).

Do we know when a windows version is likely to be available? 

I'm sorry about the lack of windows versions. I've been meaning to do it. The only thing that keeps stopping me is I have to get the correct version of Visual studios installed and I apparently keep downloading the wrong one. Each time I download it, it's at least a GB in size (usually a lot more), so it takes a while, plus it kill my network (makes wife angry), then I have to go through all the setup and try and build the app only to find out I grabbed the wrong version again. I am trying, I promise. I just happen to be failing a lot harder than normal.
