Article Predictions. Mostly General Discussion. But there's definately some Predictions scattered throughout.

Runewars is actually pretty fun guys. I swear. Alot more tactical than X-wing with a similar movement system.

Hiw does it avoid the typical fantasy battle play of, we run our melee troops into each other, face first, and chuck dice.

I love how these jokes are strune about everywhere.

Basically, Because Maneuver is double blind (like X-Wing) and has modifiers to change the initiative of the unit (the order they move)... Its quite possible to *miss* the enemy, because you declared a straight-forwrad charge, and they dodged to the left one initiative step before you.

Does anyone know the street date for this next wave? I'm just here banging my head against a wall waiting for an article, this new wave can't come fast enough to help sake up my local Meta.

There will be no official street Date until it goes from "On the Boat" to "Shipping Now".

That street date will be +2 weeks.

It has been postulated to be possibly Mid-June to do so... But we'll hopefully know by the end of the Month...

Basically, that's all the heads-up distributors are given, too... Or if they're given more, they can't say so as well...

Sounds like I'll be playing in one store championship without this wave, and have to play the list that shall not be named as to avoid distilling rage posts.

Man... I can't wait for SC's. I mean I typically get beat up hard. But I enjoy it.

Also means it's summertime. Pool open. Catching sun. Doing my best The Graduate impersonation. You know, minus Ms Robinson. :lol:

Less than 2 weeks. @Stasy. Less than 2 weeks.

Dude, really??

The only way that I can save us from the jinx with which you just slapped us is to say the following:

"There's no way in hell that they actually arrive in stores in less than two weeks. ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE!!!"

(You're welcome.)

Another Friday.

Another week wo an article.

Oh joy.

I did hear that though I fear with our regionals and worlds a few players will still run it, but I have gotten some practice with my flechette Raider, I will be prepared..

I bet the release will be the 15th.

@BiggsIRL was referring to how long it was until he could get his drink on.

Don't worry. I had enough for him too last night!

Thank God it was like 80F overnight and I don't have AC. I'm pretty sure I sweat most of it out. That or I took a shower in my bed. :lol:

I'm ready to give work hell for 10 or so hours today! Maybe I'll even finish the Armada game I have set up in the basement too!

Today is the day! or maybe it'll just be more Runewars articles... =(

I heard there's a new fantasy miniatures game by FFG. Any advice on where I could find information about it? :ph34r:

Not here there is little reason to expect one yet. I'm thinking the second or the ninth.

Y'know, its my thread, so I'll say it...

What a Bunch of Negative Nancies :P

Well, go give your Work 10 hours of hell, and then go finish up that Armada game, man! :D

Hey I gave my wave 6 drop date prediction. 15th of June.

I know. The 15th is on Target with my own predictions as a drop date for release...

Because that would mean "Shipping Now" would be roughly the 1st...

Do you expect that we would have the articles before the first, or starting as of the 1st, or 1 before, 1 after....

There is more to a Prediction in this situation then an end-date :D

Weren't the last wave articles between the Now Shipping and In Stores?

They were rushed at the end for Christmas. But for IA, they got their early and then had to wait and wait and wait.

So depending on where you look for precedence, things are different each time :D
