Title: Day of Heroes - anyone have it?
Post by: judgedredd on November 12, 2019, 10:43:08 AM
I've been eyeing this one up for a year. I'm interested in the conflict and also the fact there are squares on the map instead of hexes.

It looks interesting and I've seen some videos...but I wondered if anyone has it here and what you thought about it.

I've played it and it's a blast. Only the locals can move diagonally through building squares. Road blocks spawn mobs that can fight.
Great fun. Feels like yer playing the movie Blackhawk Down.

I've got it, and pretty much what Barth said :)

oooh. Nice. Thanks

I'm selling a few games on eBay so will gather some cash - I was hoping this might be the ticket. I know I've showed interest in the game before  (2018 and march 2019) - but I've got some spare cash from my sales now - so I might jump on it now...an possibly X-Maps for HotF

The x-map for DoH is huge and really great to see/play on.

Just ordered it.  :D

I haven't ordered the X-Maps - for this or HotF. I just don't know that I can spend the cash of larger maps. There are other games out there you know  :P

It got delivered today. I'm very excited for this one. I've been wanting it for some time.

Slightly disappointed with the paper map - especially knowing the original shipped with a mounted folding map - but I did know, so it's not a surprise.

Beautiful counters and nicely rounded...look like they're easy popout ones.

No clipping required. Where's the fun in that?  :(

I know! And after I spent good money on my Oregon clippers.

I actually really like clipping counters. It's rather therapeutic.

It forces Barth to use rounded corners?  :hehe:

STFU. I don't mind pre-rounded corners. They come that way so they have not been mangled. Cutting the corners off of square counters is just an abomination.
