Jeff Im looking forward to seeing what you think of the game once you have your hands on it. Keep your eyes on Over the Wire as we will be supporting Bounty in it with new crews and fluff.

Cheers,

Erik – I’m having a great time, thanks! I’m planning to have a Gen Con blog up each day next week, beginning on Monday. Lots of good stuff coming from the new Wizkids. No chase figs in Web of Spidey! Community tools are coming! Sadly no DC75 on display.

Jeff, hoping you are having a blast at Gen Con. Looking forward to a few “Road Home from Gen Con” or similar blogs when you get back.

I think the game is a lot of fun. It’s my personal #1 game. I’m even what the company calls a Sentinel, meaning I go into game stores and demo how to play the game to try and spread the word.

It’s an army-sized based game where each side takes turns moving units usually comprised of 2-8 figures – either infantry or Armored Fighting Vehicles. I think the rules are pretty good. Rackham Entertainment is working on a version 2.0 ruleset for release later this year to clean up some of the fiddly rules, bad translations (it’s produced by a French company and sometimes rules don’t get translated the best).

You can download the current rulebook and all the army books (detailing the various factions) at:

Jeff!

I just recently discovered AT-43, and picked up a few of the miniatures just as toys! I was blown away by the quality. They are far and away superior to the ‘clix and Mosterpocalypse pieces I have. I got some Karmans (couldn’t resist armored gorillas!) and still can’t believe the sharpness and quality of the paint ops.

So, my main question: Is the game fun? What does it compare to? I’ve only played clix games for the most part…
