Good Rolls

@RoManXJ9:

Hi all,

Chris Williams, the sales and marketing manager from 1A Games here; we assumed production of TOI from FFG this past year.

Yes, we are trying to fix some of the issues with the older Big Box edition; notably imbalances in the scenarios. If you have any questions, I’m here on the site now, so feel free to ask.

Thanks!

ps - yes, please be part of TOI’s future (I’d say more, but don’t want to offend anyone or be accused of soliciting or spamming)

I haven’t played but own the main game and expansions. It’s been a time issue but the game looks good and can’t wait to get a session in.

@d142:

yeah, that make’s it easier to understand, if i’m 2 hex’es away the target has cover. another question come’s to mind, are there any restriction’s for line of sight when firing past friendly or enemy units.
is the expert rulebook worth getting or is everything covered in the advanced rulebook,
i have only played a few games of miniatures.

Money is better spent on boosters to make complete armies.  This is the last thing to buy.

It kinda sucked.  Made very poorly in black and white and hard to read the illustrations.  Basically same as the advanced rulebook + some extra confusing rules (Overwatch, Enfilade Fire, Grazing Fire) that are ok but too complicated.  Maps were good.  Formations (platoon card) can be downloaded.  Couple of scenarios.

To answer your question, it wasn’t worth the money but I feel it’s a must have if your into the game.  You just can’t pass up on the maps and someday the expanded rules may spice up the games if they’re getting boring.  Like I said, make this the last priority of things to buy for this game.

Some of the rares are hard to touch for $5. All the Semoventes I bid on went for over that. Well over it in most cases. I guess once they’ve been out a while the price drops. Hence my 99 cent and $1.65 Chi-Has.

Hey Audacity, maybe you should consider the “Play By Email” option for A&AM here on this forum. True, a 100 point game can take a week or two to play, but I enjoy the pace and the ability to do a well thought out turn in a day or two. Plus, its a great way to experiment with different force builds.

@Mechanized:

Retreat rolls are only for the AAM campaign game currently going on at the AH forums.  :wink:

Yep… it helps determine what u will have to fight with next time!

The target does not have to be directly in front of the SU-85. It needs to be in front of the SU-85 as defined in the rules. See the page where the rules explain what it means to be behind or on the flank of.

All it really means is that you need to pay attention to facing when you end your movement.

Try Carta Magica… excellent for buying infantry, not great for buying rares, unless you don’t need to buy boosters anymore.
