<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "The Precinct Omega BattleCast is back!"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/6.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net The Precinct Omega BattleCast is back!
I've got three episodes in the can and up on the Podbean site; the latest is here: http://bit.ly/15WP5gq. Or, if you like what you hear, you can subscribe on iTunes - just search for "Precinct Omega".

I'm just doing the (far more popular) BattleCast, although I will occasionally have episodes in which I talk hobby where it collides with the topics I'm discussing (as in the latest epsiode, which covers the joys of "small scale" gaming - that is, 6mm to 10mm scale wargames). To make it less like work, I don't script the episodes, just working from notes, so it's all a bit stream of consciousness. And it is just me, so you'll have to tolerate a monologue. But I hope you'll find what I have to say worthwhile.

Regards,

Robey]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527941/5633447.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527941/5633447.page GMT The Precinct Omega BattleCast is back! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527941/5633453.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527941/5633453.page GMT The Precinct Omega BattleCast is back!
I have a bit of a rant about how ranged combat is handled in various games, talk about how I've tried to handle this in my existing games and what strategies I am thinking about using in future releases.

P.S. Thanks, PsychoticStorm. I hope you enjoyed the more hobby-related Episode 6 and don't find my new, quick-and-dirty, stream-of-consciousness, unedited approach too annoying.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527941/5672016.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527941/5672016.page GMT The Precinct Omega BattleCast is back!

I am intrigued to see your opinion on ranged combat, downloading now.

GWs ranged combat.

It started from rogue trader were a weapon had short and long range modifiers then it could fire 10 times over its maximum range, but you should first roll a natural 6 and then try to hit as normal (from memory)
it was cut to modifiers and maximum range in 2nd edition and then simplified to the present system in 3rd onwards.

@PsychoticStorm - It's been far, far too long since I played Rogue Trader and even then I only played a handful of games before 2nd Edition came out, so my memory of the original rules has faded. I do my best to play as many games as possible, but, as the guys at the d6G are fond of saying: too many games; not enough time!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527941/5699270.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527941/5699270.page GMT The Precinct Omega BattleCast is back!

http://precinctomega.podbean.com/2013/06/23/episode-9-unpacking-the-details/

Episode 9 finished of our series looking at the process of miniatures game design through my own paltry efforts. Next episode, I'm going to start a series discussing rules for and playtesting indy miniatures games, starting with Heaven's Fall from Casket Games.

The last one was good, like how you illustrate how small details could work.

Looking forward on the next one.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527941/5777035.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527941/5777035.page GMT The Precinct Omega BattleCast is back!
However, you may find the latest episode more to your taste.

As promised, I have turned my attention, now, to reviewing indy/beta/overlooked games in more detail. The idea will be that I give each game three episodes - one to review the rules in depth; one to actually play the game (in battle report form, rather than as an "actual play" format) and, hopefully, one in which to interview the author/creator if they'll agree to come on.

We kick off with post-apocalyptic skirmish game (beta test edition) Heaven's Fall from Chris Averiss of Casket Games:

Continuing our new theme of reviewing and testing emerging indy miniatures games, I got together with Heaven's Fall designer, Chris Averiss at the Gloucester Games Bunker to give it an official run-out.

I won't lie - about two-thirds of the way through, the episode kind of starts to lose steam, because the turns became quite repetitive and my notes lost a bit of coherence. However, stick with it, because I notice eventually and get back to the interesting stuff.

Well, I thought it was interesting...

Just a reminder:

Same here. I am really enjoying these podcasts. The off-the-cuff, ad libbed style is particularly appealing.
