New Tricks

Monday, November 30, 2009
So I'm learning new things over the last few days like the below:



While this may be old hat to you, being new to the game, it has me somewhat jealous that I ONLY have apes at the moment, and it also makes me want some of the older pieces.  I'm sure in due time I will get these of course, but I can drool in the spare moments between.

Additionally I've been posting on the forums and I must say, the community is 100% solid.  As I've mentioned before, I've played WOW Minis since it's inception, and this was my first tabletop experience other than dabbling in warhammer, and this is not a slight in any way against WOW Minis or it's community, as I think it's one of the best communities for games out there on the web, but I find that everyone I have read posts by on the forums thus far, and definitely everyone who has answered me in my numerous rules questions posts, to be open to my questions and understanding of me not being experienced with the game.

This is a nice thing to have when you are fresh to a game that has a good amount of experienced players already.  It is very easy as an experienced gamer, to forget that new people may not understand or know the rules and abbreviations for said game as well as you, but everyone has been great.

Another thing I learned was that when you have someone like Gakura, and he brawls, his triggers go off... well duh, I think everyone knows that after reading the instruction manual, but what I didn't know, was that if he has the chance to make a second brawl attack, as his Blitz trigger lets him do, that his brawl triggers will trigger off that too... my apes just got better... WAY better :-)

I'm learning every day and so far, I love every minute of it.  I have yet, in my playtesting on vassal by my lonesome (by choice, many people have wanted to play but I'm a still only ankle deep), been bored for one second.
