FFG is not making a lot of friends this month

Take a look at the regional bomb tokens.

They're different than the cardboard ones, by a wide margin. Don't even fit inside the template to drop them.

Part of the prize is the additional explosives in the mines.

Those really can't be legal with how important the entirety of the token is for bombs. A real shame!

So they choose useless bombs and then they mess them up? :D That is... so evil. That one guy that would have used them must be really sad ;)

Well that's unfortunate.

And that's all it is. Unfortunate. No need to make a big deal out of this.

Until you meet "that guy" at the Regionals, packing 3 of them.

Those look...crap, to be honest. Even if they were the right size, who would use them over the regular ones with that cartoony picture?

Tbh it still would not really help him :P

Good thing Cluster Mines are unplayable, or this might actually have been an issue. :P

Anyone got two sets they can look at to see if there is individual variation? Or do their own comparison? Should probably make sure this isn't a one off before we all start raging.

Same issue with both the tokens from VA and NM Regionals

You can always use them as shield tokens

Some reason, I remembered quotes from #&C Generals for OVERLORD TANK

-EXTRA LARGE!

the real issue is that they're Cluster mines

which no one uses

instead of conner nets :(

Bring your own, and insist on using the cardboard ones. Same as with templates or dice.

Well, who knows, maybe bombs will grow in time :D

and we might see them in the field!

Well...imagine how sad it would have been had they screwed up Conner Nets!

well there goes my play to use sabine and those.....oh well

Anybody that has seen the movie Heartbreak Ridge with Clint Eastwood may understand why I find this situation with "Cluster" mines especially funny.

Yikes, usually the quality involved in FFG's products is one of it's main selling points. These don't live up to that at all. Shame.

Hopefully it's a one-off slip-up.

How do you even mess that up? I mean the templates already exist for the cardboard version.

With all that's going on, I'm more and more less bummed that I have to miss two Regionals next month because I already had travel plans.

Can't wait for the new asteroid token, 'the big one', it's as wide as the range ruler length. It also comes with a hand puppet space slug for movie acuarracy.

Machine variances. Especially as I'm sure the machine that cuts the cardboard is different than the one for acrylic. And in another country.

So I assume they're going to say they're illegal right? Or the top 16 at regional now have an advantage and you gotta suck it up.
