It's a amazing game!

The Reaving is by far one of their best source books. Unfortunately their rules are the same tired dice nightmares that they were back in '84. Nothing says fun like some dude running around the board for hours crit hunting with SRM6's. <br /><br />JonathanUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10372546727217399176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781995839246169257.post-13426864206307059392018-09-27T12:01:48.061-07:002018-09-27T12:01:48.061-07:00"more work on the Mech War / Frostgrave varia..."more work on the Mech War / Frostgrave variant"<br /><br />Yes!Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10576560226761426261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3781995839246169257.post-30661316262875196332018-09-25T09:44:04.937-07:002018-09-25T09:44:04.937-07:00Find an opponent and play the game!

Sticking to to 'core' 3025 rules is great fun, and you can happily ignore most of the 'advanced' rules that come along with the growing timeline if you wish, it's still really enjoyable and campaign games are incredibly addictive (and quite a pain to run, but worth it!). I've been playing on and off from when it first came out, though lack of local opponents has paused that for a long time, so I'm hoping the new box sets spark more interest.

I got into it in the early 90s, later than you, but still before the "unseen" Mechs did their disappearing act, and I definitely agree that their replacements weren't up to the same level. Glad to hear that they're turning things around in that department.WestRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10221228665636182019noreply@blogger.com
