I don't know how many of you have seen or even heard of this game.
But i can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, fast game thats easy to learn and has a great potential for expansion.
I picked up a copy before xmas. Myself and Carol threw down a couple of mistake laden games and had fun.
Then today i arranged a couple more games with a fellow riveter and well....manic fun was had.
2 games in 2 hours. Mayhem, mortals dying, heroic grunts and pathetic pilots all featured to the staccato crash and thump of Pounders and monowheels.
It's got a cutesy chibby look to the figures. secret missions and a nice touch that you can never get tabled combined with the fact that the player who goes second always gets his last turn even when player 1 has achieved his victory point total.
An example of that would have been todays second game. I was player 1. The target number fo vp's (completing secret missions/capturing strategic points) was 10. Happily i hit the target and looked over at my opponent with a 10-5 lead. Thought to myself. Thats not gonna be easy to overturn (even if you get to the 10 as player 1. Player 2 can try to tie the game up for an extra turn or even steal victory by beating the tally himself).
My opponent scratched his head, deployed his rivets and pondered his special action and secret mission cards. Smiled and murmured 'this might just be doable'. Dice clattered across the board, men died and infantry charged forward. Alas 1 dice betrayed him and from the jaws of the tie up, victory was mine (trust me i was sweating a tad, but laughing my butt off).
So if you can. Give the game a look. The core box is expensive at nigh on £80. But you won't regret it.
