I thought Hobgoblin didn't use individual casualty tracking, or we're playing it completely wrong? At least when we played it (again, I have not read the actual rulebook) each unit just stays on the board and takes damage counters, normally being wiped off the board when you get 10 of them IIRC.

I thought it did, though this was back when it was the open beta and not the actual finalized product.

I have no idea, i've not actually played it yet - but given that I've playing Warhammer 3rd Edition with multi-bases, the most finicky and ridicolous of systems for individual figures which turned out absolutely fine, I wouldn't worry about it honestly...

Yeah, looking at the rules again, there's no "Individual casualty tracking" - units gain "Doom Tokens" as a result of combat and when they get more than their Courage stat (10 +/- any modifiers), they become Broken and get removed from play in the last phase of the turn.

Oh ok so it's like KoW and the Nerve stat. That could work fine.

The doom tokens are both the equivalent of wounds and also a psychology mechanic. You gain doom tokens when a unit is hit, but you can also add on doom tokens using the special cards under specific circumstances, when you get flanked, or when a friendly unit within range gets wiped. Then you can buy as a trait for unit to either be tougher (ignoring the first doom token in each combat, for example) or immune to panic (not taking doom tokens when friendly units are wiped). Horde units have the same damage output as regular units, but can take twice the doom tokens before being wiped. One of the most powerful moves we've found this far is the card that gives you the ability to fight on one more turn even after reaching the doom threshold. Chariots are really nasty glass cannons that tend to die while taking an enemy unit down with them (they can only take 5 doom), so being able to effectively kamikaze a unit, resurrect the chariot, and then blow up a second unit is very strong. lilljonas fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Apr 17, 2024 |

Gotta say "Fallout: Factions" is really terrible SEO. Are the Nuka World gang sprues already released for Wastelamd Warfare or still on pre-order? Does anyone know if it'd be possible to use like 3d printed stuff to kitbash them as some of the Vegas gangs (Khans, Vipers, Fiends)?
