Comments to help the channel as i look into more drop fleet 2.0
@shadeling67178 сағат бұрын
I just started looking to Dopfleet with 2.0 and got my starter set. While i have a bit of UCM the faction i was most interested in is PHR. Was interesting to hear the thoughts on the force as i have no clue what ships are good or not to build. One question i had was are torpedoes really worth it.

Guys, your Stat sheets seem to be weird. Cthulu has a 4+ BS while in recent two Scourge Docs it's a 5+.

Pegasus is still weak compared to the Taipei - the latter being cheaper and can still come in Groups of 6. Remember that you don't split damage over ships now (unless Focussed) so usually only 1 ship will be getting to Regen. Romulus main gun is now nerfed into Oblivion: needs to go back to 5 Attacks

Orbit to Atmo is end of movement. Atmo to Orbit is the start (costing 4" of Thrust). What I've also noticed is that you can now Max Thrust then drop into Atmo on Round 1 because the requirement 'must be able to Turn' has been removed from Descend/Ascend.

I'm surprised no one chose the Pompeius, at 140pts it's by far our cheapest Battlecruiser but with extremely reliable damage output.
@intruder31317 сағат бұрын
I like it but like the Castor it annoys me that it's Quad Battery has 2 attacks rather than a logical 4 (used to be 4 with Fusillade-4 for the Battlecruiser!). I can see they made the 2 attacks do 3 damage with Crit-1 but still.

It's much, MUCH easier to kill ground unit with bombardment in 2.0. Every single point of damage you do to the dropsite kills one battalion on each side *with no save.* (The dropsite takes its save against the hits.)

They don't exist yet it seems and a Designer just said to me 'rarer'. So a ships going to appear with them later I presume. I still don't understand why they are not just more powerful but twice the Thrust but so be it.

If you have 3 Nuuks in a group and they fire at a target, are you limited to inflicting one Status token, or could you end up placing all three?
@fineartboudoirbymartin4 күн бұрын
Status is per fired weapon, so i guess you could place all three. But it targets ships, not groups. And as long as your target is in coherency they will ignore Defence Offline and Navigation Offline. I think Nuuks will be great to hinder Battlecruisers and Colossal Ships. Or lone survivors. But not against groups of ships.

@ethanmckinney2038 күн бұрын
Note that there's no need to overkill to cause an explosion: it's only that the whole attack (all weapons together) have to do at least 3 damage. So if a ship has a single hull left and you plink it with one damage, the plink isn't enough to cause an explosion.

honestly, reminds me of a story one of the owners of my local LGS told me when they used to run 40k in another store in the 2000s when GW had a line you could call for rulings. Exchanges would go like this: Guy 1: *Calls GW* Hey my opponent can't (insert action here) while playing (army), right? GW: Oh no, they cannot. ---- Guy 2: *Calls GW litterally 30 seconds later.* Hey, I can (insert action here) with (army here), right? GW: Oh yeah, you can do that.

@ergonamix99778 күн бұрын
The simplest, and most likely, explanation: GW is bad at writing rules, and because they made a generic Space Marine wide army rule instead of giving each faction their own, they just stapled the unit restrictions on the index attatchment as a psuedo-army rule rather than making the Oath of Moment army rule 2 pages long by listing chapter specific unit restrictions as part of it.

Where was the "entire hall dedicated to miniatures gaming"? I know there was a section in Hall C for miniature gaming events as well as some specific miniature gaming groups in Hall C, but I wouldn't call that an entire hall. Years ago, there was a dedicated miniature gaming hall, then a back section of a hall for miniature games and vendors, now it's just pockets of them in the gaming hall from what I seen.

@@kevinprice7620 it definitely wasn't an entire hall dedicated to minis gaming, but just looking at the map of the main gaming hall: just game space - HMGS has 2 islands both at 40x40 - Ohio War Kings had a 20x40 space - Buckeye Gamers had a 40x40 space - Red Shirts had a 40x50 space some retail space included - Mantic and Warlord each had a 20x40 - Catalyst had their own 40x40 space - the guys from the video had a 20x40 space note that this does *not* include the guys from Ares that had a mix of minis + tabletop stuff, or the minis table in our area, or all the games from folks like Frattenspiel that were just 'general' minis events and not nested under a specific group or org no, it wasn't an "entire hall" but it was more than there's been in a while. It just definitely leaned much more historical than it had in a while, and there were noticeably fewer sci-fi games that would fall into the WH40K camp

There is so much to do at origins, theres hundreds of events you can register for free including tabletop RPG and demoing/playing board games. The increase in pricing is insane but I can only imagine how much they have to pay the convention center itself. Shit rolls downhill unfortunately and it's rough to see how bad it's rolled down to the vendors, this makes it very difficult for small indie companies to come and demo their games

I'm just typing up stuff as I listen so there will be a chain here. The app is always bad and there were a lot of people complaining about it being very unfriendly to users. Letting people into the vendor hall at the same time the vendors get into the hall is such a bad idea, it makes things harder for the vendors to open and the visitors can't interact with the booths after paying extra for this access.

Any professional company should be explaining the reasoning behind their requirements so everyone can understand the reasons. If you just say because I know better is very childish and not how you should be sharing a professional relationship with your vendors. There has to be a reason they're requiring it, such as GAMA's insurance is forcing them to require vendors to have workers comp? We won't know since they won't say

I am a dice maker that was at Origins this year in Artist Alley. I know that there were 14-15 dice maker companies in Artist Alley and the Vendor Hall. These makers make their own dice. I think it's easy to walk by a dice vendor and just assume they are manu dice. In 2023, there was only around half the amount of handmade dice makers. Each of these makers have their own style and can be incredibly different from one another.

You are comparing the GAMA 2023 10 x 10 (ten) size both cost with the GAMA 2024 10 x 20 (twenty) size both cost.... The 2023 would have to be doubled (2 x 10' spaces) to figure out the actual cost, which would then be $2510 vs $2615. It has gone up, about 4%. Certainly not 76% more. I'm not a huge fan of GAMA, but you have to compare apples to apples.

My question is how did you expect to make money by going to Gen con? I thought you guys owned a game store and do not make or publish anything. Is this not true? I lived in Ohio for thirty years and knew four game store owners well. None of them expected to go to Gen con as an exhibitor. We all went as attendees. Much of that time I just bought a one day pass or simply did the vender hall. My gamer friend Steve who is an artist/producer of minis and decals for minis did go as an exhibitor occasionally. (He lives in Cleveland) When he did he took the smallest type of booth and staffed it with our mutual friend Richard so he could go talk to other venders.

We run the TTCombat booth and bring our extensive stock of their games, so we aren't there as just a FLGS. This is part of a deal with TTCombat to cover their presence at US shows. At other Conventions we de very well, to include GenCon. Anywho, they have wanted us to keep trying to go to Origins because they had been going in the past pre-pandemic and wanted to try to keep going and see of it recovers. We gave it multiple tries and I just don't think it makes sense for their IPs and products (anymore). They sort of have too many SKUs for a smaller booth too, but the real catch is attendance and do those attending have even a small interest on their games?
