Timeline From Asmodee Editions in July

Timeline: Historical Events

$ 14.99 SRP

 

JFK’s assassination, the 1st step on the moon, the last crusade… Can you put all these events correctly on the timeline? Each player is dealt the same number of cards. At the start of the game, a card is drawn at random from the stack and is placed at the center of the table with the date showing. This is the starting point for a timeline that will be gradually completed by the players. The first player then chooses one of his cards and places it before or after the card on the initial map. The player’s card is then turned over to show the date of the historical event. If it is correct, it stays in place. Otherwise, the card is discarded and the player must draw another to replace it. The more cards in the timeline, the harder it is not to make a mistake! The first player with no cards left wins.

Hello Gearheads. It’s time for a quick look at the Heavy Gear Blitz Southern Army Starter kit. It includes small black and white printings of both the Heavy Gear Blitz: Locked and Loaded rulebook and the Field Manual. This starter offers fantastic options, but like most of the other starters is unplayable at Priority Level (PL) 2 without additional purchase. It does include small, black

I have played around a bit with options, of which there are many, and come up with the following:

In this Episode of Figure Forge Matt uses rare earth magnets to assemble the weapons on the Hussar for Heavy Gear from Dream Pod 9.  He had a few problems that he caused for himself.  Actually we cut a good bit out of this video, he stabbed himself once, and sliced his finger twice.  The moral of the story is rare earth magnets are cool, but weapons are dangerous.

Dream Pod is giving away a two player Heavy Gear Blitz Starter to one lucky person who likes their facebook page.

Starting Heavy Gear with the Northern Starter

As a result, I believe I will be expanding each article while I learn more about each faction.  Then if all goes well I hope to attack the Leagueless lands.  They are an interesting set of build rules that allow so much freedom, I do not believe one will ever stop writing on them.

So you have done it, you bought the Northern starter and finally assembled the models. Now what? You say to yourself looking at your four Hunters, four Jaguars, and your two Grizzlies. You pick up the rule book and tug at the hair on your head. “What have I gotten myself into? This starter is worthless.”

 

I will admit the starter is not the easiest thing to build with, but it is possible. Especially if you use priority level 1, 3, or 4. It does seem that the most accepted set of values is a TV of 750 with a priority level of 2. Which means you will have to upgrade if you want to play set games (like some tournaments).
