Blood Bowl, Epic, BFG, Warmaster.... <br /><br />....I also deeply regret not getting into BFG when I had the chance. I thought it was too pricey then, compared to GZG spaceships... ....if I HAD bought them, I could sell them on eBay now and retire...evilleMonkeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998198938697175335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394074963215462822.post-9864869572165279492015-01-03T04:24:33.793-08:002015-01-03T04:24:33.793-08:00I think you've done a good job in an overlooke...I think you've done a good job in an overlooked niche - scenarios are an afterthought in most rulebooks.<br /><br />It's probably not worth your time, but simple sketch diagrams of map layouts are something I have in some older scenario books, and help you setup the game. evilleMonkeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998198938697175335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394074963215462822.post-54461083024010813222015-01-03T03:30:15.980-08:002015-01-03T03:30:15.980-08:00Hi - this is the author here.

I found your site totally by accident and just wanted to stop by and make a few comments. <br /><br />Firstly: thanks for the review!! - I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it and recommended it!<br /><br />If I might be so bold as to respond to a few points?<br />*Ambush -- yes, this mission did cross my mind as well. But then I thought about what the point of an ambush actually was - it could be to eliminate the opponents (which is a different mission), steal from them, or perhaps even delay them from getting elsewhere (which would be the enemies' mission that the ambushers have found out about). I therefore inferred that an ambush is more about the set-up than the objective itself.<br />*Playtesting: our gaming group play tested them thoroughly within a competitive (i.e. prizes available!) narrative campaign. As with many such missions, some were liked more than others, but the group were very favourably disposed to using these missions rather than others.<br />* Parchment background - yep, it does clash a bit with the sci-fi voice Angus, agreed (and thanks for that feedback). That said, in sci-fi perhaps I can justify it as anything from previous generations can be used? (okay - a bit of a stretch of the imagination perhaps… but I'll take on that feedback for next time). <br /><br />Best regards & thanks once again.jabberjabberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15314798958920326898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394074963215462822.post-4169023717174090212015-01-03T02:58:31.146-08:002015-01-03T02:58:31.146-08:00Picked up a copy on your recommendation.
