Hi there folks.
I am making a general enquirey if many of you bought the Urban conquest box set and if so how did you find
the campaign map and rules. I'm a long term cityfight fan and would like to know if the set is worth the buy.
Cheers

There are a few cute ideas in there, but none worth buying the entire box. Unless you want the modular map and the terrain from the box, CA 2019 narrative rules and assorted missions from CA and PA books do the job just as well.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe. |

I enjoyed the campaign I played and would play another one, but I wasn't the one who payed for it...

nah. I've written better campaigns myself. Suffers from all the main problems all campaigns suffer from - power creep, no way to combat player dropoff, limits opponent pool artificially.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"
"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"
"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"
"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!" |

I started a thread that, whilst initially about the Open War cards, turned to Urban Conquest, and I asked much the same questions.
You can see what people said about it here.
