Last week we looked at the first half of analyzing a one turn of Warmachine. We looked at how to not lose the game by looking at potential assassination runs from the opponent as well as possible scenario wins. Then we turn it around and tried to find an assassination route for ourselves as well ...

To demark or not to demark: Scenarios in Steamroller 4.0

I love the Steamroller 4.0 rules.  The scenarios provide enough impetus to get the players up in the action quickly and they don’t include VP sniping as win conditions which I’ve felt were entirely against the spirit of Page 5.  At the recent NJCon tourney an issue came up where I started to demark the general ...
