generalripphook Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Played my first game of Planetfall against Fix. The game was my Retholian Core Helix against his Terran one. The game went very quick, we both ran up and shot each other, I dropped on the Objectives and won a marginal victory. Thoughts and Questions, Army construction is weird, the Terran core box comes with 5 infantry stands but in the infantry profile it says Squadron size of 4 of 6, so how do you field 5?? Game seems to play very quick and is very evident its meant to be a lot of points. Unit profiles are very deceiving as units with no weapons will sometimes have very high CQE attacks. This type of combat seems very important as the battle swirls around objectives. Its a lot more simple in terms of tokens, status tracking than dystopian wars or Firestorm Armada, and the weapon MAR's seem much more streamlined.

Brother Glacius Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Vehicles go boom much easier in this game too. Trying to kill some of the larger vessels in DW just takes forever. I like the speed of this game, just need to play it some more. You guys in Portland or Vansterdam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Glacius Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I want to get the Relthozans as well. They look interesting. Currently I own the starter box so I have aquans and directorate...but they are on the painting table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Fix and I are both in Bellingham but both go to OFCC. I'll make sure to post more details about our games but we messed up so much including army building and miss naming and squadroning units it wouldn't be much of a write up.

Brother Glacius Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 This is a game I really want to get back to. Painting the models is not hard and there isn't much to do with just core helixes. I like the rules and do find the game more streamlined than typical Spartan fare. I picked up the Relthozan core during GG's end of year sale. I need to focus getting my starter set finished first though. Would definitely be down for getting some games in during the OFCC.
