Mechwarrior: Dark Age

[treton_noir]

my brother and i recently developed an interest in miniatures games and purchased a few packs of this new game. it is fairly easy to learn and fun to play as well as a good way to blow a couple hours. if you know anything about miniatures, mechawarrior is supposed to play like an easier (game mechanics) type of wargame, somewhat of a warhammer 40k junior. its just as fun and challenging as warhammer, but has easier game concepts and a faster pace. if you know anything about this game, feel free to give your thoughts or comments. questions are welcome or you can look at the company's site at [URL=http://www.wizkidsgames.com]http://www.wizkidsgames.com[/URL]. if you like mechwarrior, battletech, or miniatures games, i highly recommend looking into this game.

i kind of play a game like that called mage knight but its sort of different.

Well I play a game that's different to [i]either[/i] of those, lol. Made by the same people though, Wizkids. Heroclix, it's pretty fun.

Ya know, Wizkids sure like those click-base counters, don't they? They have, what, three different games that use those now? o_O;

[COLOR=darkred][SIZE=1]Aren't Mage Knights part of the click-base figurines that Wizkids make? . . just like Heroclix =) They have variations to the game, but still basically the same game, right? . . *shrug*

A few friends and I have many Mage Knight figurines. . though. . -_- we have not yet played a real game of it yet. The game really looks interesting, and I have played a few 'practice' fights. . I like the simplicity of it, and the fights seem to be pretty easy. There are a few things that I need to hammer out, but that would best be solved by playing an actual game ^_^ [/SIZE][/COLOR]

yeah, they're all made by wizkids and all use the click-base system. thats a lot like when wizards of the coast made magic:the gathering. once magic started to pick up with the kids, WOTC made a ton of what they called "trading card games". its just like anything else. when somebody finds a formula that works, they stick with it until it doesnt work any more.

i purchased some foam material yesterday and designed some terrain. i got the kind of foam that is used to arrange artificial flowers. it is easily shaped and seems to hold up well enough. im not sure about mageknight, but in MW, terrain can assist or hinder attacks based on elevation, line of sight, etc.
