In this Interview Jason talks about his field guide projects, why he likes the Heavy Gear Setting, and what we can expect with the rules in the future. He mentions that the South will be getting some new toys and speaks briefly about the convicts and the Phoenixes. Filmed at Origins Game Fair as part of Heavy Gear Week.

I wanted to put some cool images up in the background of this video for all of you to enjoy.  The lighting just wasn’t as good as it needs to be for that.  I am still going to go ahead and do it at a slightly later date; I fidgeted with the images for 10 hours yesterday and I was just not happy.

 

I wanted to thank every one for watching our videos and reading our articles during Heavy Gear week .  We are not done yet we still have material  for you to go up this week.  Something about not having power in the game hall made that difficult.

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:

Join us in this Complete package as Matt opens the Hussar Tank and explores the realm of its construction. The Hussar is for the NuCoal faction in the game Heavy Gear Blitz from Dream Pod 9.  After Assembling this model I believe it to be the more complicated of the two models.

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.
