So, all going smashingly in Tannhauser world, except my friend demands to be the nazis which means I now need to get the expansions to kick his posterior with the Russians... But... I want to play through the scenarios that are available from the FFG website and have begun with number one "work the angles". The problem is game board setup... the scenarios from the website do not describe what objective tokens should be used... (if any at all)... I want to play through these story missions but are not sure how to begin...

Any help greatly appreciated....

There is no physical objective to be placed. I believe EVA already has it. As a house rule you can place a token next to her, and if she dies someone else may pick it up and run out the front door.

Keep in mind that the Reich are NOT Nazis. Though they are German, and call them selves the Reich or Republic.

oh yeah... slip of the brain there, i was aware of that actually.... thanks for the advice!

I have moved on beyond the first scenario... which i played without objective tokens, which i think was right. But the second scenario definitely contains objective tokens, but not only is there no indication of what tokens to use or where to put them it seems there is not storyline to them AT ALL!!! That is so lame... I really dig the concept of this game but i mean WTF... i guess i just have to play fan scenarios and create my own... i got to say though, this game is incomplete out of the box and FFG's scenarios don't really seem to help much... there should be a big warning on the box really... i mean come on.... so.... what are all you guys playing???? you must be writing your own scenarios each time right???? must be....

Are you talking about Wave of Mutilation?

Everything is right there for you to play.

As for the story, there is a small one there. How much background/story do you need for a little scenario?

Keep in mind that this was only a small chain of scenarios overseeing a small little operation between the 2 forces, nothing major in story line could be done since it was still under ToY.

Yeah wave of mutilation, but.. the objective tokens that they refer to... they have no story? just random objectives for no seeming reason then???? maybe i just don't get it...

Well, we are playing wave of mutilation now.

But i just cant stand using an objective token when there is no seemingly associated reason/story line so we have decided to use crate tokens with victory points instead and only one objective token each in the centre of the board to symbolize possession of the artifact.

I really don't get how you can play these scenarios as written, are you guys composing your own story line elements for the associated objective tokens?

I just cant stand "completing an objective" when i don't know what the objective is.

Also, we have dispensed with the buy a skill rule also... seemed a little naf... the game is more serious now, if you loose the character with that skill you have failed so you need a bit more strategy and care. It seems to make it more risky without that rule.
