My Thoughts - Mercenaries Kickstarter Box Set and BattleTech Encounters Game

they have a board games division now

I think it's a slap in the face to have a retail stores get a product that people kickstarted before the kickstarters get it. If it wasn't for the kickstarters it would never have gotten to the retail store. They shouldn't have skimped out on the dice in the Mercenaries box.

@@Overonator it is a slap in the face indeed. Last KS i got my stuff late and i saw clan invasion stuff at barnes and noble before my box arrived. This time it happened with encounters. That annoys me but well. I can live with it. Only 2d6 for a full box set is kind of sad. Dollar tree sells 12 dice for less than $1.50. Come on catalyst at least put 4 dice in there for kids. Its not for me. I have like 10 pounds of dice i dont need anymore but if you picked but a box set and tried to play with just two dice. Oh fuck me that would suck. Other than that the merc box is beautiful. Catalyst has done a good job with their box sets. I recently played some imperial assault and we did not have enough dice for everyone. You would be supprised how much the game slows down when you have to keep passing dice around. Catalyst put either 4d6 or better 12d6 in the box it should not cost much if dollar tree can do it for about a buck at retail.
