I guess the question is, has anyone played this game yet? Other than the bad English translations, it seems like a well thought out game.

Are there any battle reports?

I was thinking of getting Batman, Green Arrow, Croc and the Penguin and crew to start, roughly works out the same in points. If things go well expand, a buddy said he would get the Joker and crew then.

I've been looking around for a while and am yet to find any battle reports at all.

Rulebook has translation problems, but I don't think it's as bad as some have said. It'll all come clear once I actually get a game under my belt.

I've found a few images that looks like someone played games, but no reports.

Now that it's actually possible to test the rules I did read them but I won't have a chance to play for a while. Based on reading alone, it does have some nice sounding and less beaten to death ideas in it. I think I'll probably buy the rulebook but I do hope they accept some corrections to the text before printing it. At some points it's close to unintelligible as it stands.

Something to consider when thinking about pushback rules & such:

Well looking forwards to my orders arriving! In the meantime I was wondering if anyone knows of any figs in the same scale that old work as either civvies, Tyger security, inmates or cops? It'd be nice to flesh out the game :)

Aaahwwww

I can say no more LoL!

The next releases COULD be a "biggish" selection, if they are all ready in time (according to Gustavo)

I am watching this as a sideline, the cost is a bit intimidating but the quality is also very good. If I can get caught up enough on my Bolt Action collecting I may try a few figs out and the rules.

I've been a Batman Nut since I was six, so I jumped straight in - the Guys at Knight have been great - any problems and they sort them promptly.

Judging by Joker and his goons they shouldn't be too far out of scale with the newish 32mm lines:

Arkham City Batman at least is likely a good bit taller but I suppose it doesn't matter too much since


Any old sk00l "real 28mm" stuff is bound to be too small IMCO.

Off the back of my earlier post anyone got recommendations for where to buy these from in the UK, I placed an order with a retailer but frankly they are being a bit slow.

Wayland Games and the Supply Drop I just linked to above are currently the only places that I know of.

http://www.supplydropzone.co.uk/ourshop/cat_668477-Batman-Arkham-City-Miniatures.html

Wayland works well enough for us bloody furriners at least, no idea about the other place.

Firestorm games had mine out in the post the same day I placed the order with them. When the cards were missing from the Joker box, they got straight onto it and I received them about 10 days later.

When I was a kid, mom took me to the Ford place to get Bert Ward's autograph. They did a staged thing where he drove up the Batmobile chasing someone dressed at catwoman, they had a fight in the dealership showroom and then he signed autographs...I still have it!

Met Adam West several times also, I grew up on the old school Batman!

My other complaint is there is no US distribution, so when I do order by the sounds of it, not only are they slow but I also have to wait for the goods to be shipped overseas.
