Coach that terrain is looking SEEEEEEEEEEXY!!!!!!!! NICE JOB BIG GUY!!!!!!
Thanks Bill!!!
Combat trees have existed for a while, just in more fringe games (Guildball had one, Arena Rex heavily has it). The expertise is a nice addition to the tree mechanic.
I remember them in Guild Ball, but the expertise is a cool mechanic.
I enjoy the rules and the focus on area capture over beating your opponent to death. My only problem (with very limited play) is that models activate about 2-4 times over a game, which isn't a lot. As a tactile thing if I've put time and effort into painting these things I want to be moving them around the board a lot. You do with the ally things (great) but the the random activation means you never quite feel in control of when they do something. This is likely mitigated when I get the hang of reserves and Shatterpoint card but just from an initial impression no one unit seems to do a lot.
WE play other games with random activations. Mortal Gods, Test of Honor, Dredd ect and it's a cool mechanic. Pulling tokens out of a bag. The reserve and Shatterpoint card has to be mastered. I like that you can put someone in reserve, and then the "Wild Card" that model and pull that model from reserve. More I play it the more I like it.
Enjoyed the review of this newish game. Enjoying MCP, so not sure I’ll try it anytime soon, but great to hear it’s not just a “re-skin”.
I’d like to play or more, was pretty fun. It’s its own game, not an MCP clone.

They showed the ghost crew and some ot characters at adepticon last year
That would be cool.
I've avoided Shatterpoint as it just didn't appeal to me. BUT! If they come out with the crew of the Ghost from Rebels, I might just be convinced to give it a try.
I am Starting to really like it. It’s is very strategic. I will say, the mechanics take a little getting used to. After that, it moves pretty quick.
Crew of the Ghost is already confirmed coming out.
@@erikstenberg7673 Yes! Can not wait!
I just like Legion better and wish they had kept it the same scale (take one from Mantic here). JMO
Imperial Assault, Legion, Shatterpoint could have been epic to use all around
I'm not interested in Shatterpoint, except I did get the Commando squad because, Commandos ...
I agree, and we are spoiled with Mantic using the same size for all 28mm games. I do like Shatterpoint, good game. Also, really like Legion too.
No interest without the OT characters.
I think they are slowly adding them in, with Luke and Vader sets coming out
And Ewoks, so many ewoks.
That too, I’m not a fan of ewoks, but I think that I have to get them, since all I’ve got is the “bad guys”
I'm looking forward to see if they can add in the ewok on hang-glider I had as a toy from the Mattel line. That and the catapult and I'd be happy with ewoks.
@@lancealot4943 The Hang-Glider would be cool in Shatterpoint.
