    OUCH! the ai is kinda... unbeatable.. and its almost impossible to hit..even at close distance.. they should overwork the random algorythm for the hit possibility.. i think space marines should be trained with their weapons <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Squad-based stuff like X-Com, Jagged Alliance, and Fallout Tactics are some of my very favorite types of games. All the fun of real-time or turn-based strategy with the intimacy of roleplaying. The fact that this is open source is a plus too -- always fun to compile your own stuff.
    /me downloads both regular zipped binary and zip of source code
    Thanks, I'll give this a shot as soon as I finish off Fallout: Tactics (I'm planning on starting the Cheyenne Mountain mission today, and from the sound of the mission briefing I think it'll be the last)

    Well, you're right that they're quite random. Used to be a two player game after all, and GW loves dice. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
    But it's definitely not unbeatable. Liberal use of overwatch works fine for me.

    Yeah, well, the actual minniature game was fun too. Er, is. Right. Chaos Gate is still my favorite game based on the WH40k Universe.

    Necromunda was by far and away my favourite of the games, then Blood Bowl, then Sapce Hulk, then those silly "warhammer" and "warhammer 40k" ;D

    Building up individual character stats>throwing 7000 soldiers into a skirmish and watching half of them die for no apparent reason

    I never played BloodBowl or Necromunda. I was into 40k for a bit, lost interest, though I still have about $150 dollars of unpainted stuff. One day... one day my Ork army shall rise! :-)

    Theres a free manual at bloodbowl.com , and there is a PC version somewhere too.

    indeed.... and the jams... the horrid jams... every one at precisely the wrong time...

    In my first perception... they're aces at the game, and they stacked it against themselves for more of a challenge...

    Really? I thought they were faithful to 2nd edition rules. I'd look it up in the source if I weren't so lazy.

    no, just saying it seemed that way at first... mainly due to the fact that my people would jam 2 times outta 3 in overwatch...
