Don't try to exactly replicate the map for a scenario, just start slapping down pieces to get something similar that has some interesting aspects to itStanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13120797876920082499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193330954615576410.post-77886018236778726822007-09-13T08:38:00.000-07:002007-09-13T08:38:00.000-07:00I would completely agree with you wulfgar. In fac...I would completely agree with you wulfgar. In fact, your first problem with the game echoes the sentiments of my wife. Takes too long to set up and it also takes quite a while to actually play the game if you want some substance. I mean you could play a 10 minute game with 2 armies, but that would hella suck. <BR/><BR/>I can see the money pit point as well, though I don't think I would have so much of a problem with that. I would probably only be drawn to additional units, not structural add ons, so that eliminates some of the pull though it would still be pretty strong.<BR/><BR/>After all is said and done, it may just end up being a Christmas present request for myself. Erin (wife) doesn't feel like we'd play it enough to justify spending our own money on it and there are too many video games coming out in the next few months that I want to pick up, thus blowing my own spending budget.<BR/><BR/>And thanks for checking me out.Meraudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813326980943471926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193330954615576410.post-85521837113437440042007-09-13T07:26:00.000-07:002007-09-13T07:26:00.000-07:00Howdy. Good luck on the new blog. I've come here...Howdy. Good luck on the new blog. I've come here on the recommendation of the good Dr. posting above me. <BR/><BR/>My thoughts on hereoscape are mixed. In terms of how much STUFF you get in that box, it is absolutely amazing. The terrain is great, the minis are great. You get a bunch of everything. It is all durable, and it all looks great. The rules are easy to learn and work well.<BR/><BR/>There are 2 major downsides to the game for me.<BR/><BR/>1. It takes a long time to set up and to put away. At first, the setup part is part of the fun, but after awhile it gets a little bit old. <BR/><BR/>2. The game is a money pit. It sucks you in and won't let your wallet go. Everytime I go to walmart, there are those booster packs whispering "yoohooo...we're only $10. That's not very expensive. Come play with us" Yes, $10 isn't very expensive, but those boosters can add up fast. Add in some of the bigger expansions and all of sudden you have what is essentially a bunch of army men and building blocks that cost you over a $100. I really like games. I really like expansions. I HATE feeling that my game is incomplete. All those things rolled together mean that this game was like crack. I mean it comes "incomplete". The guy riding the Tyranosaurus can't use his one power without any orcs around. What's that? There aren't any orcs in the base game? Oh ok, I'll buy that booster. Then you buy another booster that requires, a third booster to be complete, and so on...<BR/><BR/>I had to quit cold turkey. There are just a bunch of other games that I'd rather spend the money on. I kept all the Heroscape stuff I have, but have vowed not to buy any more. Everytime I go to walmart, I hear those sirens calling to me though....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-193330954615576410.post-23531786493202646312007-09-11T16:58:00.000-07:002007-09-11T16:58:00.000-07:00Don't forget that some of the figs are smokin' HAW...Don't forget that some of the figs are smokin' HAWT.Dr Rotwanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16750632906878388570noreply@blogger.com
