Warmachine is FAR more make one-mistake-and-lose, given the that victory is usually assassinating one (albeit tough) guy, and there are so many ways to lose, with the myriad of attacks and combos....evilleMonkeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998198938697175335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394074963215462822.post-58699901543484206352013-06-04T03:42:29.719-07:002013-06-04T03:42:29.719-07:00Thanks for your post.
Have you considered other...Thanks for your post. <br /><br />Have you considered other games besides 40K or Warmachine (and D&D for that matter)? They are popular, but that doesn't mean they are the "funnest" or "bestest.' :-) <br /><br />There are some fascinating and interesting rulesets out there. Most have rules (and miniatures) for a fraction of the cost of the "big two."evilleMonkeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998198938697175335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394074963215462822.post-61482898097471110142013-06-02T10:46:03.571-07:002013-06-02T10:46:03.571-07:00Honest review but I have to respectfully disagree ...Honest review but I have to respectfully disagree with most of it.<br />In the end it's a matter of tastes and I guess the author and myself have very different ones.<br />I for one love both Warmachine and Iron Kingdoms, finding the former far more tactical and far less make-one-mistake-and-lose than Warhammer (my only other wargame) and finding the latter more varied, straightforward and fun than D&D.<br /><br />I must add that the Magic system described here is strictly for focusers (Warcasters), the will-weavers (every other magic-using class) work differently.<br />Spell cost for them adds up into Fatigue Points and if you end up spending more than your Arcane stat (but up to double your Arcane stat) you need to roll 2D6 equal or over the amount of Fatigue points. If you fail, you've exhausted yourself and can't cast on the next round.<br />I find that distinction between Warcasters and the rest interresting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394074963215462822.post-38900097988280265852013-01-07T01:45:57.284-08:002013-01-07T01:45:57.284-08:00Some mechanics of Deus Vult:

Actually if your lad likes PC games, it's pretty "educational"evilleMonkeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998198938697175335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394074963215462822.post-15960999646259679542013-01-06T22:26:55.032-08:002013-01-06T22:26:55.032-08:00A comprehensive and honest review as always mate, ...A comprehensive and honest review as always mate, thanks<br /><br />Have you had a chance to check out "Deus Vult!" by Fireforge games yet?<br /><br />http://www.fireforge-games.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=126:deus-vult&Itemid=479Paul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.com
