I got to play the demo of this game at TempleCon this past weekend, and really enjoyed it. It's a skirmish sci-fi game, and pardon the comparison, but it's everything I wish Necromunda had been.

The models look nice, and the rules were smooth and played well. I'm looking at picking up the entire line to take with me on Deployment, so i'll have some bang-bang.

So, anyone else know this game?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2425674.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2425674.page GMT MERCS - Anyone try this game?
I've got a couple of the models that I bought when they first came out.

I haven't got the rules yet.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2425719.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2425719.page GMT MERCS - Anyone try this game? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2425734.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2425734.page GMT MERCS - Anyone try this game? D10. Everything from initiative, to attacks, to armor checks...

Movement is based off the cards that come with the models, and facing is important as well. You get a free 45* turn per move, but more than that costs you a move.

It plays on a 2x3 board, but 3x3 is fine as well.

After i got the mechanics down, it moved smoothly, and I really enjoyed it. And a hardcover rulebook for $35 is a fair deal.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2425768.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2425768.page GMT MERCS - Anyone try this game?

It only came out six weeks ago.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2425974.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2425974.page GMT MERCS - Anyone try this game?

One of the things I like aobut it is that there's no point system to the game. You just pick 5 models of your faction, and play.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2426575.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2426575.page GMT MERCS - Anyone try this game?
I don't know whether it represents good value for money and whether that will have affected sales and word of mouth marketing.

With respect to the argument about hardback wargame books, the high production values are nice, but they also drive up the cost. That must discourage casual buying.

I thought of buying the MERCS book to get the free promo figure, but I decided I could save the £30. If it had been £10 I would have snapped it up, with or without the model, for the interest of reading the rules.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2426837.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2426837.page GMT MERCS - Anyone try this game?
*shrug* If it entertains me for the next year, then it was worth the price. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2426902.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2426902.page GMT MERCS - Anyone try this game? LOL

Ask around if you want to check them out. I'm sure tons of us still have them floating around on our computers. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2428363.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2428363.page GMT MERCS - Anyone try this game? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2434489.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/345587/2434489.page GMT MERCS - Anyone try this game?
