In the Blood Bowl comic there's a bit where fans of the teams storm onto the field and fight each other and interfere with the game. Does the Blood Bowl game have rules for something like that?

Does the Blood Bowl game have rules for something like that? Indeed it does. Pitch Invasion: Both coaches roll a D6 for each opposing player on the pitch and add their FAME (see page 18) to the roll. If a roll is 6 or more after modification then the player is Stunned (players with the Ball & Chain skill are KO'd). A roll of 1 before adding FAME will always have no effect.

With AoS2e on the horizon, GW is running faction focus articles for every race. It features advice for new players of said faction. 90% of advice is "charge." What a deep game.

Mordheim has the advantage of being the best game GW has made. I would kill for it to be redone with the same level of quality that Necromunda got. Even if they set it in AoS it would still be fun. Still sad I never got to finish Border Town Burning before then Mordheim players finally disappeared totally here.

Duh. 40K Apocalypse is exactly the same way. When you have that much crap on the table, you have no other choice than to just move straight ahead. (Also, why the gently caress would anyone play Apocalypse anything? "Move forward x inches, wait three hours for my turn. Repeat." Safety Factor posted:Mindlessly charging into the middle of the board is also 90% of AoS so it checks out. The "charge into the middle" complaint is a silly gripe to have, considering the style of combat. A more valid complaint would be with 40K's reliance on melee, considering the fact that literally everyone has a gun.

berzerkmonkey posted:There was something the other day that I read that talked about small bands of warriors going onto city ruins, looking for artifacts. It could have been nothing, but it really got my hopes up for a Mordheim-type game. If the new Kill Team takes off, maybe we will get a Fantasy version. I would be sooo happy. Frostgrave? Or if it was GW, that's probably talking about Shadespire - the fluff follows that, but the game really isn't Mordheim.

I remember being able to attack the side and the rear of a unit, adding at least a thin vaneer of strategy.

No, it was one of the newer fluff pieces regarding AoS and the (finally) updated setting. There's been so much lately, I can't remember exactly where I read it though. It was just a sentence, and it could have been a throwaway line, or even an oblique reference to Shadespire. Obviously, until I can find the reference, take it with a grain of salt.

LashLightning posted:I remember being able to attack the side and the rear of a unit, adding at least a thin vaneer of strategy. That's because you had large blocks in WFB. In AoS, each model is an individual, part of a larger whole (like 40K) so you don't really have flanks as such. AoS looks less like a well drilled battlefield and more like the Hobbit: BoFA scene, where the Orcs and Dwarfs are intermingled and there is no cohesion, just individuals in their own combats.

I keep hearing that it’s just piling up models but I’ve seen battle reports and strategy guides that show that positioning is incredibly important and has quite a bit of depth to it so maybe GW community people are just bad at the game.

WFB would usually feature a battle in the middle, sure, but would also feature more than one focal point as blocks maneuvered for flank charges or break through to fragile ranged units. I played WFB a lot, and I don't remember a single battle where more than half of the action was just a melee in the middle. AoS sucks

At least the ranged units can't shoot out of melee in AoS 2e. They can still shoot in their own melee, but at least charging them has a purpose in AoS 2e. Well, they can still shoot into their own melee. But yeah, WHFB had ranks, flanks, block movement, and I think you even had to test for some sicker maneuvers? Morale system was better - throw up a screen of expendable infantry to be charged, and whatever dregs that survive will run, possibly panicking the unit you shielded with them. From my experience, positioning in AoS matters for two things: auras and weapon ranges. So from arranging flank charges or whatever, you go to meticulously positioning every last dood to get the most of your pile-in or whatever. ED: I will never agree that mortal wounds are a good thing. Removing models without being able to do anything about is one of the worst experiences in gaming, and mortal wounds just codifies it. At the same time, it's not physics, and nothing prevents GW from making heroes/units that ignore MWs, getting you back to step 1 of immortal heroes. The awesome-looking Lord Headsman or whatever (the new ghost with gallows on the back) has a 5+ FNP for wounds and MWs IIRC. JcDent fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Jun 6, 2018 |
