Decided to pre-order Hot Streak at the last minute in the UK because it’s £10 off if you do. Finally out next Friday hopefully.

Also bought Truffle Shuffle on ebay cheap.

The damned AT-AT nearly ruined me in the second game. It only takes one hit to take it down, but you’re only rolling potential hits with the initial dice, and then you re-roll any of those potential successes to see if you succeed again. I attacked it with three units, rolling a total of nine dice, with 4 or 5 potential hits, and never got the result I needed on the re-roll. I wasted one additional turn trying to eliminate it, before giving it up as a lost cause.

Oh gosh, this is the Tiger Tank mechanic from Memoir 44. I hate it. But it feels right when it’s an imperial walker and wrong when it’s a swarm of tanks.

@Marx

AT-STs would be thematic (if not canonical, I believe?)

They sent exactly one:

“Your new game is here!”
“My new what now?”

Was not expecting this - no shipping notice no nothing. But here it is!

I love a good kickstarter - proven game (or team), short timeframe, low cost. Same day I got an update from the Super Pixel Tactics kickstarter, which cost about double as this, that they were trying to get ahold of the artist to finish artwork so they could start talking about production. Guess who’s paying the salaries for each month of that timeframe? That’s right! It’s you, backers! (I did not back Super Pixel Tactics). This one got backed in May.

Anyway, here we are. Can’t wait to give this one a spin. New solo and just a few small modules/rules tweaks from the original to disrupt the decision space and keep the game from getting solved.
