@@golvmopp that’s awesome to hear! I’m glad you’re able to play the game with your son!👍

@@DjigitDaniel she’s always finding herself standing fearless, taking and receiving fire on the battlefield. 💪

People seem to really like Beldara - I've had more comments about her than any of the other characters. She has been a beast on the battlefield so far. I hadn't planned for her to be a Cara Dune type character, but that's what I thought too after her first battle!😄 I have her LEGO figure in my collection, but in case you were wondering, I'm using the Valkyrie (Marvel) figure with a random white/gray wig instead of her default mohawk/ponytail. Oh, and I added some shoulder armor to make her look even tougher.

Nice! I'm glad to hear you've had good results with with yours.

IKEA - the tops come off and they're designed to serve as storage for LEGO bricks. They're normally white but I spray painted mine to look more rustic.

@@bluefyr22 thank you!

Thank you! Enjoy your adventures!

😂Sometimes the best strategies on paper don't work out in the Frozen City!

For actual Wolves you can only have two - one for each spellcaster using the Animal Companion spell - and they take up two of the Warband's eight soldier slots. If you get a Kennel, one of the Wolves can use that slot instead of a normal solider slot - but you're still limited to two of them. You could hire Warhounds to fill some of your other slots...but they aren't that great in my opinion so I wouldn't recommend that. I would be interesting to try out the two Wolf strike team - especially taking advantage of the Kennel so they don't take the spot of a normal soldier. I'd be curious to know how it works for you if you go that route.

I wish they were fleshed out a bit more - almost like Stargrave First Mate where you could essentially have an Apprentice or an equally powerful master of combat. Yeah, the % is brutal.

There’s definitely some added bookkeeping with them.

Sounds like some great memories with him! They’re definitely cool and offer some fun options.

Random bolts are definitely a fun thing on the battlefield.

I’ve debated whether I would use a Captain for the “Apprentice” role with a Vampire, or just a normal Soldier. Mainly because the Captain’s special ability to Group Activate is wasted because the leader soldier gains that ability anyway.

You can become a Vampire? :o how

@@Lawni5 Frostgrave Blood Legacy. It let's you play or even start out as a vampire, but you lose the apprentice. So that is missing out on half of your spells per turn... but with the vampire domination/free unit trick you can get the captain for free using him as your apprentice replacement slot. Vampire also comes with a few unique vampire abilities that sort of act like spells that you can unlock... Blood Legacy also can let you play as the bit more expensive (also more to level up) half-giants which are not as balanced. Though like the 'Lich' class the game claims that you can't go with the major campaign arc method of trying to hit level 20 and become god tier... which doesn't seem to get played with most groups I have seen. So it's good enough for what it gives.

Thanks Max!

You’re welcome!

Thanks, your words mean a lot! For names I always start with a a first letter that no one else on the team starts with, then pick how many syllables to use, and just start mashing other consonants together, then choose some vowels to fill in the gaps. I find I gravitate toward the letters R, T, and K - so I try not to overuse those and I chose a different ending sound or letter for each name. I find creating fantasy names easier than sci-fi…however there is more leeway when you have aliens involved because any sound could potentially work.

This is a fascinating way of determining names. Totally devoid of nonsense. As en engineer, this appeals to me (I imagine you are as well) because it gives me a framework to be creative. Thank you!

You are correct - right there on pg76! I remember reading that before, but was thinking I read it on a forum as a suggestion or house rule on a forum. Thanks for pointing it out!👍

You are welcome! The content is fun to make!

Sorry, I’m not sure I fully understand your question. Are you wanting ways to have more than 10 figures in your Warband or curious about non-human Soldiers?

@@bricksblocksgaming8017 What I meant to write, wolves and dogs as I understand it, have the Pack Trait. Whats the best way to get a PACK of wolves on the board for a Witch build? Like a Killdozer lol sorry about the Confusion man!

the 4'x2' was fun to try - especially with the enemy Marksman (for what it's worth it turns out my board was actually 40"x20" - I forgot LEGO baseplates are 10 inch squares, not 1 foot squares). I felt almost like I cheated a few games back when there was an enemy sniper that I gunned down the first round. I usually play on 30"x30" and with almost all my guys having weapons with a 24" range, everything is in range really quickly. So it was nice to give the enemy figure a chance. With the "Casualty" definition, I'm probably going to equate "Knocked Out" as being the same for XP going forward, as they work the same way mechanically for enemies, and I'm sure the crewmate that caused the first enemy to die or run-off would gain equal amounts of high-fives and praises back at the ship. The Rules-Lawyer in me has trouble not analyzing the wording.😂 Thanks for the suggestion about Danik's letter! I haven't checked out Bug Hunt yet...but I need to.👍

I did used to be finicky with board sizes when I was a wee lad starting out, specifically with a certain futuristic grimdark game and how insistent some players of that could be with board sizes. These days I'm way more 'Yeah, that looks good' type. I play in 15mm, so I can use the sides of cardboard boxes and centimeters and it works out fine. As long as it feels good to play, either/or for table size works. Bug Hunt is a fun compendium, lots of cool stuff and new scenarios in it you might really enjoy. It's all the info from the smaller expansions plus exclusive Bug Hunt rules, so unless you wanted it all the smaller ones are good for easier entry into 5P expansion play. I would love to see your crew play a Salvage Mission in Lego built derelict corridors and tight spaces. Especially after that junk yard mission you did. That terrain setup was beautiful.

😂The true nemesis of any crew!

The game system is great for creating its own story as the campaign progresses - I’m really enjoying it!

Thanks!

Thanks man!

Hi!

That's awesome you're going to be playing with bricks! The official position on terrain in Frostgrave is it's designed to have a LOT of it. Basically when you feel like the board is full...add more. The reason for that is to limit Line of Sight so Archers and attack spells don't dominate the game, and it forces you to split up your team in order to reach the Treasures, rather than having a horde marching from one Treasure to the next. Limiting LoS also encourages use of elevated terrain - there's no reason to get the high ground if you can see everything from the low ground. As far as building...since the setting is "ruins", buildings can be disheveled and incomplete - missing roofs are actually nice because it helps with moving figures around. Having a good amount of scatter terrain and not just large structures is important - this adds Intervening Terrain to the open alleyways and helps to fill out the board to make it more visually appealing than just a table with 5 or so houses/ruins. If you have snowy stuff that's great, but MagmaGrave, JungleGrave, or whatever theme you have is fine.👍

@@bricksblocksgaming8017 thanks! And do you have any suggestions concerning bridges/walkways between terrain pieces (just connect everything with everything?) and just general „symmetry“ of the board (how important is it for fairness)? Any no go‘s?

@@MaxMustermann-ql2wm walkways connecting the elevated terrain is really important in my opinion - it takes a while to climb structures, but then the figure can get kind of cut off if the action shifts to a different part of the board - being able to move once you’ve spent the time climbing adds motivation to doing so (however most of my videos don’t have walkways mainly due to not having bricks that look great for that purpose). I also include ladders and rule that they can be climbed at normal instead of half speed (I don’t recall if that’s official or something I made up and have been playing with all along😄). I try to create some symmetry, with equal access to an easy high spot and similar terrain pieces each team has to get around to make it to the center.

Thanks Philip! It’s great having supportive viewers!👍

😂I had forgotten how I started the video and just went back and rewatched it - I made myself laugh out loud.😄

Thank you! I'll make sure to have some Frostgrave content in the Summer Block - it might be the first and last videos of the Block again, so I can keep the 5 Parsecs battles together. I should be releasing more frequent Frostgrave content after my Parsecs campaign is complete.

It’s easy to get sucked into chasing the algorithm. I’m looking forward to doing the Blocks and keeping things more on my own schedule. Thanks for watching!

😄There can be a lot to remember with the rules, but the Pre-Game, Battle, and Post-Game sections are laid out pretty well in the book in a step-by-step manner. As far as my rolls, I keep a spreadsheet open to essentially create a journal of everything that's going on (I enjoy spreadsheets, lists, and documenting things 😂). Unfortunately the credits can only go toward Ship Upgrades, not fixing damage to the ship...

Thanks for your encouragement and enthusiasm as always!

Will do, thanks for watching!

Thank you!

I’m looking forward to the Summer Block as well!

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying my videos! This battle was a pretty fun one to setup and play. Have fun with the Stargrave videos!

They've been doing well so far...🤞

That was very fitting how that turned out! That Rattle Gun she has is pretty deadly!

Thanks! I appreciate all rules feedback! My confusion came because the item was placed from a Battle Event which states "non-Combat Action" which is different than the wording for Notable Sights. If I happen to roll that event again, I'll probably just treat it like a Notable Sight though for consistency. I'm glad you're enjoying the content, and I know what you mean about campaigns starting then fizzling out. I'll warn you that my campaign will be taking a planned break for a few weeks and I'll be releasing a video discussing the break and how my ongoing release schedule will work. But don't worry - I am 100% committed to playing through the full 20 Turns!👍

​@@bricksblocksgaming8017 Aye, no worries, glad to help. Hope you enjoy the break, and given your back catalogue and the games you've played through, I ain't worried. Plenty of stuff to go through in the meantime. Currently, I'm loving your first major Frostgrave playthrough, the one with King Arthur and Co'. Stay cool

@@Axiie thanks for checking out the Frostgrave content as well! With adding a new game to my channel, I always wonder if people are tuning in just for one specific game or if they check out the other games as well.👍

Thank you!

Thank you very much!

😄 I hope you enjoy the rest of the campaign! I’ll be taking a planned break after battle number 5. But the campaign will resume sometime in July.

So am I!😄

Thanks!

Awesome! I hope you enjoy your campaign - the game is a lot of fun!

Welcome to the Frozen City! It can be a bit overwhelming at first to create your Wizard and their Warband. Have you checked out my Wizard Build playlist? It has a bunch of ideas with at least one build per school - some builds are strong, some are just fun.👍 ua-cam.com/play/PL8HHjBEVAygihnueiYpi8x6R8sQ1UppDa.html&si=JL7CYFB2_TLu1zPn

@@bricksblocksgaming8017 I did! Haha I'm actually going to yoink your push/transpose wizard for my goblin wizard, it feels suitably tricksy.

@@rob9943 Awesome! Thats a great combo - hopefully you’re able to pull it off frequently! I usually think of aggro spells with an Orc, but I like your idea for Illusion - there’s a lot of room for chaos and randomness in that sphere that fit well with Orcs.👍

@@bricksblocksgaming8017 oh I'm going totally orcless. I'm a total goblin fanatic, I love the horrible little guys!

@@rob9943 oh oops, I meant to say Goblin, not Orc. 🙃

It seemed like a fitting name.👍

It's good to hear people are still checking out my Frostgrave battle reports! I really enjoyed setting up this scenario and had a lot of fun with how the scenario's game mechanics work.

@@bricksblocksgaming8017 I was wondering what sizes make most sense for Lego measuring sticks. I see you have some that can be extended by a couple of „inches“ (4 studs) with a hinge. What would you recommend? Thanks in advance
