New Arrivals

We received a shipment from ACD today, including a few new things...

The new Starship Troopers miniature game from Mongoose came out with a starter box and one squad box each for Troopers and Bugs.

Two more items in the new Warhammer Fantasy RPG line, The Game Master Pack and The Old World Bestiary. The newest Battletech book, Combat Equipment is here as well.

Two new games from Z-man, Saboteur (somewhat like Bang, but you don't get killed) and Santiago (in the trading and building genre). China, a new game from Uberplay based on Web of Power is here too. This looks like a cool new twist on the classic strategy game. Lastly, we have two sets of the new Star Wars Saga Edition chess pieces!

That's all today!

HeroClix Event

We had a great turnout for Wednesday's HeroClix tournament! Fourteen players competed in the "Team Theme" event, which was won by Kevin. Players built their 300-point teams around an unusual theme, such as 'Big Robots', or 'All Figures Have 7 Letters in their Names'. The winning team concept was Jay's 'Everybody Loves a Clown', which included Joker, Harley Quinn, Kabuki, Siamese, and Shi. The runner-up team theme was Colby's 'People Who Look Constipated', featuring Mongul and Wolverine. Congratulations also go to JP, who won the Fellowship award. Next Wednesday's event is another 300-point battle, this time using Battlefield Conditions. Each round will have a different random Battlefield Condition affect play. Come join the fun on Wednesday, May 4 at 6:00pm!
