So its a game of War, but with Miniatures added in, sounds ok

I just started picking up some of the minis and the game within the last week. With a great group of gamers who play and are willing to take the time to teach me this game. Im really excited to learn it!

I really like the look and feel of this game. I'll definitely be getting into it. My only issue, which is kind of small. Is the folding character cards. I want to protect my cards and the double size prevents me from using conventional card protectors. I'll either have to cut them in half and then have 2 cards for each character (like Warmachine/Hordes Warcaster/lock) or laminate them completely open.

hmmmm...this looks interesting....

As gamer with famously bad dice, maybe cards would help a brother out? I dunno, I'd probably 'draw bad hands...' lol.

I love the model line, and since my gaming group is dropping 40k this year for Flames of War, I'm looking for something new.

Flames of War bores me to tears, unfortunately.....

Malifaux seems to have a lot of interesting features, so I'll be looking into it a bit.

If you can really play a game of this with like 4 models, I might try it.

@darkdrgon2136 No it will not be, go and look up the mathematics behind it

[darkdrgon2136]

@Andulvar maybe I'm late to the party... but yeah, they are. unless you're cheating, a properly shuffled deck of cards will be random

[imanelfranger]

@speedstacker136 I know, it's the name of one of his abilities

[speedstacker136]

@imanelfranger that is baby kade

[Andulvar]

@Garlannd I actually play weiqi since I found Chess to easy, with only about hundred matches against other human players i have rating of about 2100, so I can almost qualify for candidate master

[Garlannd]

Does randomness make a good game though? I mean chess is hardly random and it is probably one of the most challenging strategy games out there.

[Andulvar]

@Garlannd Personally that was one reason I'm not the biggest fan of Warhammer, while I do play it, I prefer a handful of dice over a bucket o'dice

Dice are random, cards are not.
