Dracula's America.

Got our first 'practice' game on Monday. Keen to see how it survives contact with players.

Good review. I had to go into town and pick up 2 more packs of playing cards. Game is no doubt going to be an ad-hock sort of thing as we will be wrapping our heads around the rules and game play.

 got book Friday but alas no figures. but  mulled over it  over the weekend

so far great book, rules seem simple fast paced and light-hearted.  true bit light on fluff on factions  but the artwork is great ad allows a great freedom

my fears about the long arms cap seems to be have missed placed, however, if you were doing military pose there might struggle.

going to our first game tonight

Crikey, that looks EXACTLY like Dracula's America! 

A must see movie for me! 

Good find, pardner!

Wow! Searching now!

Well looks like a 'B' movie. I'd still watch it.
Played our first trial game. Used a 5'x7' table with 3 players. Thought the table might be too large, but seemed to work fine. Game play went well. My Congregation got slaughtered and the Bounty hunters took a mauling, so the day went to Sam's Dad and his evil Confeds'. Everyone seemed to enjoy the game so time to storm on and plan some real games.

They've done this movie for us DA's gamers, no doubt about that!

Rules questions from our first game yesterday, which was excellent:

- Shaken condition: there is no effect for Novice models as they already only roll d6 and you roll min. d6 types of dice. Can this really be true? Getting rid of the Shaken condition is not easy, so a Veteran model will quickly find themselves no better than a Novice. It can't be right that the Novice models are the only ones not getting a disadvantage from Shaken, but that is the way we read the rules.

- Once engaged in a Fight: can you use a ranged weapon and thereby gain an extra dice because of range, or is it always a 3 dice roll, modified by specific rules?
Re-rolling: If you roll a max on a die a 6 on a d6 for instance you get to re-roll a failed die - so far so good. But what if that re-roll is also a max, does that generate another re-roll, which might be used to re-roll another failed die?

- Move and Fight: If you double Move into engagement, do you gain a free Fight action immediately?
