edonil Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yeah, it was pretty decent. Didn't get a whole lot done, but restful enough. Only War was fun, got in some video chatting on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Oh wow, there's a blast from the past... What'd you run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ummm..... some robots men I know nothing about it....... these were some quickplay rules or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Oh! Didn't know that you'd never played. Honestly I'm more a fan of the fluff than the game... never was able to figure out how to run the game in a way that amounted to sanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 In terms of balance, I mean. Number of mechs really can matter, and if you've got tech differences, one person can bring a whole bunch of cheap mechs that are heavier to fight a smaller force of lighter, more advanced ones... and the smaller force will be at a huge disadvantage.

Mister Monkey Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 These rules were pretty basic...... we had 12 robot mens each and it only took just over an hour. Alpha strike I think they were called Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Oh! I've heard good things about that, actually. Need to look into it some more, from what I was hearing, they got the balance a lot tighter, and the game flows smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Until you add my thrice cursed dice rolling into the mix, that unbalances the game pretty fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Uh oh. I'm guessing the game ended in lots of Monkey Bots being turned in nuclear wastelands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I killed one robot mans....... the guy teaching us the game removed some of the other guys robots and I still got hammered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 lol. Think you'll give it another shot in the future, or was once enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I will play, not buy anything but will play..... fortunately my mate has butt loads so we can use his stuff. SO you recommend Only War then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yeah, it's a fun system. Leveling is a bit complicated, but once you figure out the system, it flows pretty well. Only complaint I've got so far is the lack of options for Stormtrooper players as far as advancement goes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Well they are not meant to be good at shooting ....... no thats a different universe Apparently Guard are getting a new book for 40k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yeah, we'll see how that goes. Apparently they're getting a new name and image on top of it. The one vehicle I saw makes my head hurt. Granted, 40k vehicle design has always been kinda strange, but still... a cargo truck with four sets of tracks instead of wheels? O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Oh yeah I saw that fugly thing........ Pretty sure I wont bother getting a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yeah, I really don't know what's going on there anymore, lol. I'll stick to the book series I'm reading from them (basically Abnett's Sabbat books at this point) and the FFG games... otherwise, I'm getting more and more glad that I'm out.

Mister Monkey Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yeah..... Kind of feel the same, if I ever feel the need to play will just use the Krieg list I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yeah, same here. I've got the Assault Brigade rules and the Siege Regiment rules, I'd use those for my Iron Empire stuff. I'm hoping to see the rules that Raging Heroes are using soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
