Ok gears fans read alot about hoard mode and to be honest played a few times didn't care for their version to much so took some gears 3 addition and put the into this wonderful board game.In here I have put barrier for the team to fortify positions, make purchases and extended the # of locust and waves. Also included exp to make basic purchases and use of ammo and grenade tokens to fortify a position on map.
NOTE GAME RULES HERE REQUIRE EXANSION MAP PACK 1
• GAME SETUP:
Every player starts with characters load out besides ammo and grenade tokens; each player gets 2 ammo tokens per weapon and 1 grenade token. Start map setup for which difficulty wanted as hoard mode card states then after setup reshuffle location cards and pull 1 card from pile. Take locust spawn point on map tile from picked location card get an e-hole cover token and place it over the spawn point; this spot is now the general purchasing area and locust do not spawn from this point any more. Instead the locust that would normally spawn there now is divided upon the other spawn points evenly. A cog can bleed out if not revived after 2 rounds (a round is considered every time that player moves)EX: Dom performs 1 attack then on his locust a.i. he is downed by the locust finishing Dom full round so it counts as 1 round. Your general A.I. are 1,2,5,6,17,18
• PURCHASING:
There are several different purchases you may make with exp or ammo & grenade tokens. Ammo, grenades, weapons and order cards are purchased at the set spawn location you selected at the begging.
