My club met with the guys from Hyacinth games, the developers of Wreck-Age this week for a fun event.

The batrep is located here: http://chicagoskirmish.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-battle-of-ten-pike-wreck-age-battle.html

Here are some awesome pics to entice you:

Looks interesting, having more skirmish games on the market is always a good thing and the post-apocalyptic setting is the icing on the cake.
What were the rules like to play for the first time? i.e. were things relatively straightforward or did they take some explaining from the devs?

I have played a few games before this, but it was new to the rest of the club. None of them had even read the quickstart rules that are available on the Wreck-Age website. It only took a few minutes to explain. Everyone picked it up very quickly. The game moves very fast. The quickstart rules are free, and they also have some scenarios available. There are some fun and fresh feeling mechanics in the game. I recommend it highly!

This looks kinda cool...

I am excited to have stumbled upon this here Josh!

For anyone who wants to know anything about the mechanics, its an "I go - you go" system that uses Activation Points to carry out multiple actions during each model's turn. Here is the current incarnation of the Quick Start Rules:

Speaking of which, next time Josh I want to have you guys try out some of the other Actions available that aren't in the Quick Start Rules.

I've got a solid amount of stuff that I picked up at AdeptiCon, I've yet to play, but it all looks interesting, and I especially love the little terrain things like the vendor carts and shipping crates. The models look good as well.

Soonish. We are all meeting today to do some editing and discussion for the soft cover rule book so we're going to tweak some things, play test them, and then hopefully we'll schedule something in a couple weeks or so. Sound good?

I was thinking that...
I might pick something up when I get some more money...

Stop drinking for like a week. You'll have more money than you know what to do with.

Josh and I got a game in yesterday, Stitchmen (jlo) vs Stakers (me). Let's just say his cabal won't have a shortage of organs any time soon.

Here is a link to our latest Wreck-Age batrep:

Here is a nice teaser picture for you to enjoy:

I play it at AdeptiCon, and while I did not pick it up then (shortage of funds), I am going to be doing so soon. It was a fun game, and I'm looking forward to putting it in my rotation soon.

The quick start rules and more info can be found at http://wreck-age.net, along with a few other free goodies!

Thanks Garou, did I happen to do your demo?

Possibly. I demo'd with a friend of mine - he asked afterwards about which distributors were going to carry it, and bought one of the armies.

Great report Josh. Thanks for running that event. We all genuinely appreciate it!

Here is another Wreck-Age Batrep:

and another teaser picture:

J some of those pictures turned out great, really looking forward to wrapping this one up with you soon. That is, if your wife lets you out of the house.

I played a demo game of this a few months ago, although I cannot find people to play, but it was pretty fun! Keep up the good work guys, I am interested!
