A spy hiding out with some smugglers needs to catch a shuttle off-world. The only problem is, merciless robotic police are onto her and closing in. Can her rag tag buddies help her slip the noose this time?

I really enjoyed my first game but I definitely am looking forward to that QRS, too!

NOTE – TMP is acting up, duplicating this thread, then deleting it … hope you guys can see this one!

Nicely done! Am I right in thinking that board was a little larger than the recommended 3x3? (Not a criticism: it looked good and seemed to play well.)

Also the buildings. Do you have a stack of buildings or a stack of parts, and which would you recommend?

Yes – this was a 4' x 4' board, because of the tiles – although we deployed about six inches in.

The buildings all belong to my friend Doug – as you can see from the pics, he has

- assembled, painted buildings (mostly Deadzone)
- assembled, unpainted buildings
- scatter terrain (e.g., AT-43)

I have Deadzone industrial building kits but have not assembled them much less painted them. I also have some buildings from Novus, also unpainted. Lastly, I have some HIPS corridors.

I think assembled, painted buildings are the ideal – except for the corridors, which I want to leave in pieces so I can rearrange the set up as necessary.

But to (perhaps?) to your point, Deadzone terrain is best assembled so the result is "in pieces" so to speak, that way you can rearrange your battlefield. DZ terrain is not really distinctive enough to assemble into something that is, in the terms of a building that might be actually used, 100% complete.

Sounds like a fun game.

Thanks for sharing your report and pics.

I also liked seeing the Dust Horten being used as the shuttle.
