I refuse to believe Halo Flashpoint is even a 10th as successful as Mantic claims. In terms of online, easy to find metrics it has:3100 people as part of its sub(P)reddit.2100 or so people as part of Facebook Groups.No one discussing it on Twitter gets many likes/comments/retweets.No one big or well known talks about/plays it on Youtube.Yet it's one of the fastest growing and more popular tabletop games to come out recently?I don't buy it.I don't hate the system, but I am baffled by Mantic's ability to get away with lying about how successful this game is.

new to kill team but getting routinely slaughtered. My blooded are just sliding off of my opponent's Space Wolf Scouts, and I find giving him extra activations just means he's healing twice with his medic. Blooded tokens make little impact.Are some teams just super unbalanced? Though to be fair I also seem to suck.
>>97243562Are you solely trying to trade kills or focusing on objectives and other ways to get VPs? You're a horde team with very few ways of punching through a Space Marine's hide. Your strength is board control and ramp up. Cause him problems on different areas of the map and force him to split his team, then pick a side you want to focus on and hammer those units there.
>>97243577you might be onto something. Stay hidden, get close, and try to push for objectives?
>>97241996>Sounds like... a rag tag band of different planets forces joining up.It was part that, part being the GM for our campaigns, and partly flat-out liking to play multiple fleet lists at semi-random. So I could be using WYSIWYG to designate which ships were technically "reserves" or "reinforcements" (which is a big thing with Imperial fleets in particular). The actual fluff on the fleets was >blueAn obsolete fleet that had been largely puttering around guarding Tithes until shit cooked off in the 12th Crusade. Suddenly very out of their depth. My first actual fleet>RedSegObscuras fleet whose Lord Admiral had been killed in battle against the Orks (one of my main opponents) and were now being run by a Rogue Trader and some Marines while they waited for "reinforcements" they never actually sent a message requesting. There are quite a few Xenos ships hidden in the escort shot>PurpleSome of the Armageddon fleet ships were really nice as backup in a standard one >PiratesThese guys were the actual rag-tag fleet.

That one's from '93.I imagine there's some subdivision based on precinct, district, zone, and whatever other subdivisions you want to make, in whatever order you desire. It probably varies from precinct to precinct. Check the book for further info, if you can get your hands on a pdf.

I've been following and playing it since release, it had a rocky start with some promises not being met but the real negativity about it was from people wanting a more crunchy system. If you don't care for that or even want something more streamlined, quicker to play it's pretty great, and we now have two faction splats and a gear book to flesh it out a bit more.
>>97243452IM is... workable. A pal pulled me into a game recently, some of its stuff is streamlined from the FFG stuff in a good way (namely how stats work), some of it's streamlined in a shit way that I hate.Wang is the skunge you find growing inside a rusty disposal.

>>97243408NTA, but doesn't that mean that we know nothing about anything and nothing can be assumed from any part of the fiction?
>>97243363AS 2" = hexmap 1 hex
>>97243444Of course not. We know roughly that an LRM needs to be able to fly at least at 63 meters per second to reach out to its listed range in hexes, (21 hexes-- 30 meters across-- in 10 seconds). This abstraction at least holds that its average speed cannot be less than this and its maximum speed must exceed this. In short, anything we re-derive from the simplified model of reality on the tabletop can only be relational assumptions based on defined parameters of the game's logic. Any breaks we witness that are not explained by the system or setting must be assumed to be the edges of a simplified simulation and not binding principles of how reality operates.If we apply the largest possible scale of rules to battlemech weapons (space rules) in which hexes are 18 kilometers and rounds are a minute long; the effective range of a ground unit being limited only to their own hex means that the LRM fired by a LCT-1M teleported into the void by a cruel and unjust god, by virtue of reaching the other side of the hex in the round would have to travel at least 300 m/s; which means it STILL isn't assured to break Mach 1 at sea level. It would be supersonic at 2500 meters above sea level by estimate.So, depending on who you ask, LRMs travel at upwards of 60 meters per second or upwards of 300 meters per second. We can't guarantee they'd travel 300 meters per second on the ground because of gravity and drag, but we know that any missile classified as such is doing at least this in either environment if it is capable of doing so in the environment.The LAM example doesn't even prove universally; it only proves that the LAM is equipped with missiles that can do both.
>>97243558Does all that mass take into account soft launch time and all of the complexities of how a missile functions? You're also making the very bold assumption that every single missile flies in a perfectly straight line directly towards it's target, when missiles today even have to jump up to get a top attack on it's target.

On the spectrum of rubber forehead aliens to complete starfish aliens that are made out of silica and breathe methane, where are YOU specificially comfortable with. Does there come a point where an alien becomes too weird for you to "relate" to in order to include them in your games as playable races?Personally I am fond of aliens that look plausibly like they could have evolved in a different world and have no distinguishable lineage to earth life, even if they share some superficial features.

>>97240947Play the most dogwater shit deck imaginable. Your opponent gets to beat you into a pulp regardless of what they play and you get to feel an unwarranted sense of self-assured smugness that you're unique and creative in between bouts of seething about your opponent being a metasheep (actually playing a tiered deck is optional).This is the optimal way to enjoy yugioh.
>>97240947Depends on your opponent. If your opponent is a meta andy then you'd either want to be running a meta deck or something that has a good enough matchup against their deck to check it, but not dominate it.If your opponent's on a dogwater deck, you run a dogwater deck.
