Why It's On The List
- A really well-thought-out "dudes on a map" game that subverts the ever-present turtling problem with a varied set of rewards for attacking other players.
Tips & Tricks:
- Hordes of cheaper figures can work just as well as a few expensive figures - and sometimes even better.
- This is the rare combat game that works well with 2, 3 or 4 players.
- I know I said it in the previous section - but it's worth saying again: turtling does NOT work in this game. ("Turtling" is emphasizing heavy defense and little or no offense, in hopes of getting your opponents to exhaust themselves fighting each other and/or throwing themselves against your defenses in vain.)
Extras
- The FFG edition (2nd edition) evidently contains some variant stats for the units as well as some extra tiles and an alternate middle hex - but I haven't played it and am perfectly happy with my H/AH original edition.
- There's a new edition with new art coming from Renegade Games Studios this summer... with a molded plastic Monolith (and some of the rules variants from the FFG edition).
