The community needed that video!

7:43 she has 8 Omnicron Snipers left, so she can move and attack with a full unit worth (3) on her turn.

The community has needed this video for ages. Thank you! We finally have a calling card for the game!

Great intro video!

Obviously wasn't a strategy video, but might be cool to make one of those to point out how the Order Markers should never have been on the warlords! And how the Legionnaires could move 5 spaces, thanks to Marcus 👀

As stated by others, this was a very necessary video. Previously I used something very similar I filmed on my phone for new players, but obviously the production value here makes those obsolete. Maybe for this video the elevation movement penalty should be added. (I get that maybe it’s another video because then you have to talk about flying)

I would love a basic strategy follow up to this video that includes the obvious like bonding, how special attacks generally work, and that order markers can be stacked on a single card. Also basic game play tips.

I found my collection in storage a couple weeks ago and tomorrow night my brother and I are introducing the game to our nephews! So pumped to share the game with younger generations! Can’t wait🤘🏼

I play 40k and all i can think of is how much simpler the teach is here. Also alternating activations, one of my favorite wargame mechanics

Miss your heroscape videos 🥲 my favorite HS YouTuber for sure…

Love this game and drafting is a big reason. so fun to pick how many pts you have and then draft from so many interesting units. Melee, ranged, shields, flyers, hidden, etc.
And making maps was a blast. mountains, water, ice, lava, woods. all had an effect.
Underrated game.

Loved heroscape as a kid. So excited to get back into it.

Pumped for new heroscape, missed the first time it was around

[nautrichard]

Great video; concise and easy to follow! Also I can never hate any video that uses MapleStory background music

5:40 From the 2nd edition rulebook whoever rolls highest goes first, then play passes to the left.

Probably should have mentioned that basic movement costs more for going 'uphill', since you talked about terrain and water rules

Also drafting with more than 2 players is normally a snake draft (last player choses 2 armies) for fairness.

Overall great video!

I enjoyed a lot this video, greetings ftom Guatemala.

If I’m using squads, do you move each individual figure and attack one at a time or do you attack after each figure has moved?

[Georami]

Just picked up a set from GenCon! Super stoaked. Also subbed

[AndrewGarrett_LordTubtub]

Nice work as usual! Thanks for making stuff we enjoy and you are excited about!

[JBatGaming]

I have some pieces to make maps, not a lot, and I used to have a bunch of figures but due to an accident I only have about half of what I used to. Where can I still get this stuff for good prices?

[Georami]

Hey so I’ve got a question. I’ve tried looking for an answer here in YouTube and cannot find it. But, do you know of a way in which two players can work together fighting the monsters? Like a cooperation between two people instead of vs. Maybe like a homebrew game mode
