You've done terrain wrong when someone realizes that by winning the roll to go first and pick their deployment that they've got a huge advantage.<br /><br />I don't know what the terrain guys were thinking, but that's crap.<br /><br />Similarly, mission two is a joke. Six objectives, and it's RANDOM as to which will be active? Seriously? I hope to god you're mechanized with swift transports.<br /><br />Mission one is a punch in the balls for those playing 5th-consciously; did you bring lots of troops? SWEET. Now suicide the rest of your army killing his troops.<br /><br />In general, you've failed at mission design when your design automatically gimps stuff like that. I mean, I like the objectives with their emphasis on troops, and that mechanic. Play with different deployment, different objectives, and interesting (but not imbalanced) 2nd/3rd objectives.<br /><br />Get away from KP. Just do it. I'll never understand how a dead Rhino = a dead Land Raider = dead Deathwing Squad = dead Bloodthirster = a dead Fire Warrior Team.Raptor1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/16909802419382710809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-4887814078465584682009-08-10T12:21:11.501-04:002009-08-10T12:21:11.501-04:00To be fair to PSC, I should point out that all of ...To be fair to PSC, I should point out that all of the tables were framed plywood with the sides painted and the tops fully flocked. It only looks crappy because of the poor quality of the camera on my Crackberry. I was actually quite impressed with the details that were put into all the terrain pieces.<br /><br />The terrain mix is what's baffling to me. They had scads more terrain on unused tables and on shelves by the register. But someone *chose* to deliberately arrange it this way.

I think that sign that reads "If you place your cases on my terrain, I will place my terrain on your minis... I promise" is kind of a slap in the face. Why does this guy think that his terrain is so freakin special? It looks kinda crappy, IMO. Most of the tables are made from lousy mats rolled out onto tables, with a smattering of shoddy buildings and terrain features, from what I can see.FoxPhoenix135https://www.blogger.com/profile/09405797216697686661noreply@blogger.com
