Why It's On The List
- A really well-thought-out "dudes on a map" game that subverts the ever-present turtling problem with a varied set of rewards for attacking other players.
Tips & Tricks:
- Hordes of cheaper figures can work just as well as a few expensive figures - and sometimes even better.
- This is the rare combat game that works well with 2, 3 or 4 players.
- I know I said it in the previous section - but it's worth saying again: turtling does NOT work in this game. ("Turtling" is emphasizing heavy defense and little or no offense, in hopes of getting your opponents to exhaust themselves fighting each other and/or throwing themselves against your defenses in vain.)
Extras
- The new edition with new art from Renegade Games Studios is actually a nice blend of the original game with some of the rules variants from the FFG edition as options. Most importantly, it has a molded plastic Monolith rather than the odd cardboard thingee from the original AH edition.
