The War Engine

Post by Tasoth »

With the purchase of SEIVHUZZAH!!!, I'm ponder The War Engine. So I ask, is it worth it? It lets you make your own mods, but I have no idea how good it is. Input from those who own it would be nice.

Not very. It's a very crappy game. I was thinking about getting it
to mod a SW wargame, but the entire system is crap. It's several
turns just do do anything.

Goes like this:

Move Phase

Action Phase (shooting)

Move Phase

If I get a wargame I want it to be a blended system
when you can just move and shoot at the same time,
thats why we have PCs, to handle all the paperwork
involved in the game.
