    love this! as someone who just bought a copy, this batrep is both entertaining and educational. i especially appreciate your narration, saying why a dice state has changed while neither reciting the rulebook verbatim nor skipping over the rule entirely. cant wait to see more!

    The game looks a lot of fun. Just grabbed the instructions - I’ve got so many minis I’ve never used, gives me an excuse to paint up and use some different ones 😊

    I have to say, I am really enjoying these Space Wierdo play-throughs. You do a really good job of presenting the skirmish. And those rules! So straightforward. So intuitive. I actually understood this game within five minutes of starting watching. I can’t say that about most rule-systems. Very impressive. Will have to grab a copy. Thanks both.

    • @oldhammered
      @oldhammered  2 роки тому +3

      Hi Dennis. If I was playing the bugs and the marines were playing defensively, I'd use the bugs' speed and camouflage to encircle the marines from the outside, then try to force a marine overwatch by attacking a straggler. Once the marines had expended their one and only overwatch, I'd try to mind control the flamethrower and hose the APC down with napalm.

  • @cavemanbum

    Wouldn't the movement marker be enough to signify that the model was done activating? Why put the blue marker own afterward?
    I don't like a lot of tokens among my miniatures; when I run Space Weirdos, I plan on just using movement markers to denote that the model(s) had completed their turn. I have movement markers with '0' on them, so even if a model remained stationary, we'll see that its turn is complete.

    Just a few new rules made for a very different sort of fight. Camo effect obviously makes hunting bugs much more dangerous. Marines could set up a defensive position and wait but mission with a time limit might demand they keep moving to search and destroy. The sniper needs to requisition a new scope that can compensate. More area effect weapons that could probe by fire would help, too.

    • @oldhammered
      @oldhammered  2 роки тому

      Another downside to a defensive strategy: The brain bug might mind-control the flame thrower or the grenade-packing lieutenant.

      The game is overall super balanced. The game allows for dice type to change often but going from D6 to D8 only changes the next average by 2. Great game to play imo.

    Question: At the 17:30 mark, why does she roll on the Under Attack table if she's the attacker? Isn't the Target of the attack supposed to roll on either the Under Attack or Under Fire table when hit?

    Do you prefer this or the grim dark One page rules?

    • @oldhammered
      @oldhammered  2 роки тому

      It depends on what size game you want. Grimdark Future Firefight has a higher model count, so it’s generally a “bigger” game. If you want an ultra low model count, SW is a good choice.

      Hi Ray. That’s from the EnderToys Broken Vehicle Bundle on Amazon. You get the APC, a melted tank and a wrecked Jeep for $25. Good for alien invasion scenarios.
