Hey all!
I have been collecting, painting, and building for a while now, but I've only played a few games against people I haven't just taught the game to.
Anyway I want to get some more people interested out here, and when I start explaining the game they instantly say something like, "Man that sounds really complicated." so I was thinking how could I explain most of the game with a few simple points.
For example most actual combat whether guns, swords, or fists can be explained as perfecting timing and distance, but in this game those are both not super important. you have all the time you need to make your moves (if you have a patient opponent!), and you can measure the battlefield anytime you want so you don't need to be a really good judge of distance.
So my question is: What are a few simple points you can tell someone that give a decent representation of how to play?
My best idea so far is paper, scissor, rock. where your rock is a cave troll, and the enemy scissors are the archers standing two inches away. While your paper is taking care of the enemy rock (bat swarms against heroes).
I hope that makes a little sense. And I look forward to your thoughts!
Muwahahaha with these tips I can recruit many more leaders to fight under the goblin banner, or maybe some dwarf generals to grind into the dust beneath the feet of my warriors.
