I’m really looking forward to this game, but one thing I think is a missed opportunity is that the miniatures look too large on that overland map. I think Runewars board game sized minis would look perfect on these tiles. The tiles even resemble the Runewars tiles. Could you imagine playing Runewars with full size minis? And since you only have two square tiles for the skirmish battles it would allow room for a lot more stuff to happen instead of things possibly feeling cramped.
And then, with the reduction in plastic comes cost savings which could be used for more cards or more figures, such as another enemy type. Or better yet, $20 off the retail price!
Other than that, it looks to be an awesome game, and I’ll definitely be getting it when it comes out. I may try subbing the figures out with my Runewars minis. Does anyone know of a website where you could buy Lord of the Rings or generic fantasy mini miniatures?
