As an aging gamer I am very happy to see it as a simple and light game, I am done with complex rulesets and games that have a huge learning curve barrier of entry. Bring on simple and fun!

I agree totally. I can attest, the Deadzone rules set which ins the base for this will be very easy to learn.

Really hoping this game takes off, what Ronnie was saying about wave 1, 2, and 3, got me so hyped. I can’t imagine how sick it’s going to be having full on UNSC vs Banished vs Flood battles with friends. The Halo tabletop child me dreamed of.

Nice! Sounds awesome. Not sure if you are a Deadzone player, it the rules are tight. Adding the Halo universe to it just makes it better. Knowing Ronnie, he will keep adding cool stuff to the game and make it awesome.

@@familyofgamers777 haven’t played dead zone, but it sounds like a lot of fun. This will be my first tabletop game that I’ve actually owned. I’ve played Warhammer with friends and instantly fell in love with tabletops. Been waiting for a good Halo tabletop all my life.

Kicking myself for not being able to attend and record a demo myself and see what the game is all about in person. Delighted, absolutely delighted that you were able to do and do it. Thanks for taking the time to not only record the demo but ask good questions. Thank you very much.

I hope this game does good, I was too young to get into Ground Command, and Fleet Battles before they died. Definitely will buy some of the content for this game.

I think it will take off, due to the fact it is the Deadzone rules, it will be successful. The other games really didn’t do well with this property. Should be great.

I think that will be a definite for us, not sure what the license will say, but we don’t have the license! 😉
This is interesting, and I may give it a go, but I was really hoping for more of an army building game similar to warhammer or star wars legion.

This is more of a skirmish game. It is similar to Deadzone, which is one of the best games around.

They likely need to prove that there is an install base before committing to designing and machining molds for a full size army game. I imagine if this does well it will get expanded to include large scale confrontations.
@familyofgamers777

I agree, definite possibilities for expansions.
Looks really good The simple rules sets are just as good if not better than complex rule sets imo. It's more chess-like than depending on meta knowledge and study

Great to see you too. Get home safe, see you on the net.
I was on the fence for this one, but listening to Ronnie talk about it is enough to get me hyped up. Really excited for when they start releasing proper factions and the content he was hinting at a few years down the line. Hope we see some of these rules come to Deadzone which I think could use a rules update/ points rebalance. That 1-3 move would be great for Marauders who are one of the slowest armies all around and also one of the most fighty. Would also be cool to see weapon pickups along with the items. All and all though I just hope Deadzone doesn't disappear as a result of this game coming out.

So I had the same concerns as you did. The update to Deadzone would be welcome, but I think we’re in a good place with that. I will confirm this is a way to get people into Deadzone, and a lot of people were picking up the 2 player starter set waiting for Halo. That’s a good sign. Some of the rules may come over, but I don’t like the whole can’t fight back in combat is not my favorite, but I get it because you can respawn. I think this is a step in the right direction.
Thanks Guys, pre-ordered Spartan Edition with bonus Master Chief model today based on this review. Cheers 👍

It’s a skirmish game for now, but they have the license for 5 years and who knows what will happen in the next 5 years. I like that it’s a smaller game, but I could play a bigger game.
Amazing. Just pre ordered the spartan edition. Comes with a master chief mini too. But what I really want is a premium edition where the minis are pre painted .

Welcome, was a blast to play.
very cool, super interested to get in now. I know theres a 4 Elite Team, itll be interesting to see if you can mix and match Elites and Spartans on a team, and if we'll eventually see teams with different numbers (like 5 ODST or 6 marines or something) This looks like a great skirmish game, and as a long time Kings of War player, i trust in Ronnie

Yes, come to the Deadzone side! It’s a great game and a lot of new players will be drawn into it because of Halo, which is a great thing.
This seems very interesting though the armor value seems a little confusing at first probably will get it once I get my hands on it
@familyofgamers777

It’s really not that hard. The shields are what you get rid of first. Armor blocks hits, unless the shooter has AP. AP 1 removes 1 point of armor. If we can understand it, anyone can. 😊
You got the scoop :-) well done chaps

Can you move diagonally ? Or can you only go to the adjacent cube?
@familyofgamers777
2 ай бұрын
You can move Orthogonally. So if your Move stat is 2/3. You can move 2 cubes as a short action and 3 as a long action. As long as you have a clear path, you can move diagonally. It’s nice, move cubes not inches.

It’s another way to get extra cover. I like that mechanic, but I think they should have a token to show that a model is crouching.

Soooo...basicaly it's the poorer cousin of DZ? I know it's the IP an all that jazz...but for me it seems just lame to do a stripped down reskin of DZ just coating it into a named IP, but amaybe something good may come out of this, we will see.

Not really stripped down DZ, but DZ with added twists. It’s not like the Mars Attacks-DZ. The rule book is almost as big as DZ. We did play 2 games on our own.
