As someone who loves Five Parsecs from Home and Five Leagues from the Borderlands, The Doomed plays very, very smooth in my opinion. Using the campaign elements from Five Parsecs, but with the Doomed combat mechanics was an interesting campaign that in some ways fixed my only complaint with skirmish games. Measuring constantly and weird formulas for hitting crap… Good play through!

Thanks very much.. I’ve not yet looked into the “Five” games, but thought about it often.. The Doomed move mechanic is rather unique, I guess. Have you looked into Deth Wizards from Snarling Badger Studios? It’s very themed, and if you’re not into undead, it might not be interesting, but in my opinion there are some very fresh mechanics also..

[@pawwingsart]

I've wanted to see some more playtime with The Doomed! The attempt by the developer to keep minimal tokens and measuring on the table is really interesting.

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

Yeah, also what caught my attention to the game in the first place.. So far it has quite a lot to offer and some well working mechanics.. Thanks for watching

[@ReadySetPainter]

Dude. Your terrain is beautiful. I dont have any terrain yet really. Im learning how to make it and it feels over whelming. But its fun. Thabks for the great video!

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

Thanks 😊 I use several different types.. pre-painted, cardboard, resin, 3d printed etc. I have a separate video about my terrain types.. Thanks for watching along

[@ReadySetPainter]

Btw this is the best how too video ive seen. Its so well done!

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

Thanks so much for the feedback👍

Very insightful session report. I just learned of The Doomed today and was curious how it played solitaire. Thank you, ULC Battle Reports.

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

You're welcome.. :-) And thanks for watching along.. I have 3 episodes with the Judge and his warband so far, and the next one coming shortly..

[@Jhoelgrox]

The system seems very fast paced and enjoyable, i would love to see a coop report. Great Video.

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

Thanks.. It it straight forward and fast and I really like that kitbash and squad building approach.. 👍

[@MiniatureMashUp]

Great video, but since you asked for corrections... When the horror or anyone gets a "free" move, they still have to roll to make it. The only time you do not roll dice is for the first move action on your turn if you are not in base to base with anyone.

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

I asked for this specific situation in the Bastionland how to play video.. The answer was that if the free move or for example recovery is triggered by another unit, it’s technically in that units turn and therefore technically the first move anyway. If you see the Bastionland video, the Pathfinder has moved in it’s own turn. Then the Devourer activates and shoots and wounds him. The shock table roll gives the Pathfinder a free move and he crawls towards the nexus, but with no move roll even though it’s not his first move in the “round” - but it is his first move in the Devourer’s turn. Later in the video, the Devourer activates because of a destroyed Nexus. Again it moves with no roll, even though it has had a complete turn before that. I guess the trick is to separate turn and round, at least that was how I understood the answer.. With all that being said, I could still have missed it somewhere.. Thanks for watching 👍

I think the horror activates after every of your miniatures ;) Basically youve got 3actions and then the horror goes again. ❤

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

It’s correct that horrors and monsters activate after the Warband(s), but still only one basic activation for each unit. So when the Horror gets minions on the table, the activation will more logically switch between Warband and monsters. But as long as the Horror is alone, it’ll only activate once. Otherwise there wouldn’t be any point in Nexus activations or responses, and that would also make the Horrors practically invincible. So in the beginning the Warband will have more activations, but on the other hand the Horror is protected and can’t be destroyed before all Nexus points are taken out. Then the game balance changes - the Horror will get special abilities and extra activations, but will be more vulnerable with less or no Nexus points left. Thanks for watching. The next part of the campaign will come soon 😊👍

@@ulcbattlereports7388 ok maybe i was doing it wrong. But the sequence of play sayes: Choose a readied model. 1. Perform 3 actions 2. Exhaust the unit 3. Choose a redied unbound 4. Let them make 3 actions 5. Exhaust the unbound and pass to the next player There is no other player in solo, so i think the unbound horror activates everytime i did my 3 actions with a mini, no? Sorry for my confusion if im wrong. Dont feel obliged to reply. 💜

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

@@7.7.7_.7..7._ Feel free to ask.. It’s perfectly fine😊 The play sequence is exactly as you say.. When there’s no other player, you just start again from the beginning with a readied unit, but after the first turn, the unbound horror (if there’s only one) will not be readied, but instead exhausted and therefore will not activate. You on the other hand will begin the play sequence again and activate the next readied unit - until everybody has activated and are exhausted. That will be the end of the round. All units will again be readied to begin the next round. The game developer has a tutorial on the Bastionland KZbin channel with a round of play where all the basic game mechanics are shown.. 👍

Enjoyed this very much!...but there is more Deathball on its way...right? 🙂

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

Thanks.. Oh yes :-) Next match is coming soon, and it'll be Wood Elves Vs Undead this time.!

[@MrShardlake]

Very informative well done! Could this rule set be used in a low fantasey setting ?

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

Thanks very much.. I think they'll work fine.. Most of the weapon types are not specific and can be translated into both sci-fi and low fantasy setting..
