Fallout Wasteland Warfare
« on: October 06, 2019, 09:35:07 PM »
My first venture into Post-Apocalyptic war gaming.  The figures are expensive but I really liked the computer game (started with the very first one) so gave into temptation. More pics to follow...

I have the game and have never played it. I bought it, and in the interim I went off and built an entire post apoc world (terrain, whole factions, etc). So by the time the game was delivered I was pretty happy with my own designs. I've been kicking around selling it or keeping it.

I'll be interested in hearing your take on the game.

A few super mutants.  They are hard to photograph given the dark colors.  I went a little crazy with the rust.

As for the game, I was initially put off by the pictures showing different colors of dice, cards and many small tokens.  However, I watched a few videos of people playing the game and began to think that it looked interesting and made sense.  I was particularly taken with the AI system.  I have now played about 6 or 7 solo games using AI as an opponent.  While the rules take a while to get used to as they are different than many other systems out there, I have come to enjoy them and will continue.  I have come to like the multi-colored dice and cards for different weapons and upgrades.   The tokens are a little fiddly but you also get used to them. Several points to improve: the basic AI rules are pretty easy to understand but the more advanced AI rules (subject A and object B or some such) are almost incomprehensible so I just ignore them and do what I think makes sense.  Also, some mechanism for character advancement would be really great.  I know there is an RPG version but I don't have it and apparently there is no solo/AI method.  I know character advancement will be hard given the cards with set stats.  To be fair, I have not yet tried settlement mode so perhaps that will give me what I am after.

Nice looking figures, I have played the game myself but I feel it's forces drawing me in (must resist, must resist it's powerful forces  ;D)
Just remember "If the Enemy is in range, so are YOU!

Its a good game.  It seems confusing at first but its fun once you get into it.  There are also some useful videos.  The War Budgie ones are really great.
