They are not bad people after all. And the "What If" games they play are a form of fantasy although they will never admit it as they think it is some form of weakness.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-90359521513769924642017-02-17T08:50:31.556-08:002017-02-17T08:50:31.556-08:00Good games stay in the memory forever.

A very different mechanic and fewer figures but there is the chance to progress a "gang" to upgrade armour and weapons. The Campaign rules are only 1 page long though so do not expect too much.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-91003015286473528162017-02-17T08:45:56.055-08:002017-02-17T08:45:56.055-08:00I actually prefer skirmish to big battles.

A most memorable game of Necromundia had an ancient land raider trapped in a clearing. Sometimes it would shoot at "threats" sometimes it would move. I still remember the game master telling me "you hear an audible click" as it pointed it's lascannon at my leader and heavy. A misfire. I don't know who was more relieved me or my table minions! ;)david bromleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373599516429004062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-19576780535629571922017-02-17T08:28:42.731-08:002017-02-17T08:28:42.731-08:00Losers the pair of them especially Ray!Losers the pair of them especially Ray!The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-27734383036680525322017-02-17T03:03:04.350-08:002017-02-17T03:03:04.350-08:00Thank you Joe.

So I started there. Remember though it is SKIRMISH so 3-6 figures a side and only played on a 3'x3' board so if you want Mass battles I would advise looking elsewhere. But good luck with any set you settle on.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-6653884547516320622017-02-16T18:53:34.719-08:002017-02-16T18:53:34.719-08:00I do like these fellows quite a bit, Clint.
