CMON Previews NCU Changes in A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/cmon-previews-ncu-changes-in-a-song-of-ice-and-fire-tabletop-miniatures-game/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/cmon-previews-ncu-changes-in-a-song-of-ice-and-fire-tabletop-miniatures-game/#respond Fri, 08 Jan 2021 16:00:00 +0000 https://tabletopgamingnewscom.bigscoots-staging.com/?p=1427 CMON Previews NCU Changes in A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game

NCUs are a unique aspect of the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game where models are set aside from the battle, but still have an effect on the conflict through their placement on the Tactics Board. However, the mechanic isn’t perfectly balanced as the designers would like. In this preview of upcoming changes, game designer Fabio Cury takes a look at how some NCUs will be changing soon.

From the article:

Bannermen! Fábio Cury here. Although the year has passed, the Visions in the Flames continue to be seen!

As we’ve stated in previous visions articles, our intent with the 2021 updates was to leave No Card Unturned. And although there is a wide array of changes that were already discussed, we can be sure there are always Nooks and Crannies Unchecked. Lastly, while many battles can be won through blunt force, in most cases it is wise to bring Non-Combat Units.

Wordplay aside, NCUs are one of the elements that make ASOIAF TMG unique. We are very happy on how the Tactics Board currently functions and how NCUs interact with it, the Battlefield, and each other. Truth be told, there were only a couple of elements that needed to be addressed for NCUs as a whole, and these elements were the driving force for most of the changes we’re going to talk about.

https://www.google.com/afs/ads?psid=5134551505&channel=AutoRsVariant&fexp=44766999%2C21404&client=pub-5202150189592534&r=m&sc_status=6&hl=en&rpbu=http%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com&rpqp=q&type=3&rs_tt=c&oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF-8&format=r5&nocache=5871676217667758&num=0&output=afd_ads&domain_name=www.tabletopgamingnews.com&v=3&bsl=10&pac=0&u_his=1&u_tz=60&dt=1676217667759&u_w=1920&u_h=1080&biw=1920&bih=891&psw=1920&psh=2217&frm=0&cl=507651520&uio=-&cont=autors-container-0&jsid=csa&jsv=507651520&rurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tabletopgamingnews.com%2FCMON-Previews-NCU-Changes-in-A-Song-of-Ice-and-Fire–Tabletop-Miniatures-Game&referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tabletopgamingnews.com%2FCMON-Previews-NCU-Changes-in-A-Song-of-Ice-and-Fire–Tabletop-Miniatures-Game&adbw=master-1%3A849

The first element that was revisited throughout all NCUs was their point costs. We noticed that the basic “value” of an NCU was often more valuable than its actual effects. This meant that the base value of beingan NCU (an Activation, access to the Tactics Board, the effects therein, etc) was usually worth more than any single effectthe NCU actually had.

This in turn meant that it was preferable to choose a greater amount of cheap NCUs than having less, more expensive, inclusions. Again, this was primarily due to the difference in the abilities not being appealing enough for the difference in points.

CMON Previews Baratheon Heroes II Box Set https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/cmon-previews-baratheon-heroes-ii-box-set/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/cmon-previews-baratheon-heroes-ii-box-set/#respond Thu, 04 Jun 2020 11:24:00 +0000 https://tabletopgamingnewscom.bigscoots-staging.com/?p=4892 House Baratheon might be a house divided, but they still have a chance to being the one on the Iron Throne when all is said and done. In the Baratheon Heroes II box for the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game, players will get a selection of characters loyal to Renly Baratheon, the younger Baratheon brother. Let’s take a look at who you’ll be getting.

From the article:

Though Joffrey Baratheon currently sits on the Iron Throne, Robert’s brothers, Stannis and Renly, each feel that it should be them in that position. They have taken up arms in order to make a move on King’s Landing and assert themselves as the true heir. However, they are not teamed up to do this. They both feel the Iron Throne should be theirs and, as such, have torn House Baratheon in two. Everyone has had to choose sides in this house divided. The Baratheon Heroes #2 box set includes characters who have sworn loyalty to Renly. This new set will include a wealth of new options for House Baratheon players who have chosen to side with the younger Baratheon brother. Let’s take a look at just what comes inside.

CMON Previews Builder Crossbowmen for Night’s Watch https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/cmon-previews-builder-crossbowmen-for-nights-watch/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/cmon-previews-builder-crossbowmen-for-nights-watch/#respond Mon, 26 Aug 2019 12:15:00 +0000 https://tabletopgamingnewscom.bigscoots-staging.com/?p=747 The Night’s Watch defend Westeros from the horrors beyond The Wall. Keeping them armed and armored are the Builders. They also create units that take to the field of battle. In this instance, they’re grabbing trusty crossbows to pepper the enemies with bolts before they can close. Get a look at how this unit will work in the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures game.

Pting! Pting! Pting!

From the post:

The brotherhood of the Night’s Watch has pledged to keep Westeros safe from all the horrors that live north of The Wall. Forsaking any life they might’ve had before joining, they are entirely committed to their vows. Within their number are the Builders. They maintain the fortifications in and around The Wall, as well as all the arms and armor used by the Night’s Watch. Their forges create some of the best and hardiest gear, including the valuable crossbow. While there are the massive ballistae that act as siege weapons, as well as the Scorpions that are light enough to be taken to battle afield, they also create hand-held crossbows. They heavily train with them, becoming a fighting force of their own. Next month, Night’s Watch players will be able to add the Builder Crossbowmen to their forces. Let’s take a look at how they operate.

Being the ones that built the crossbows, the Builders are also experts in their use, having trained intensely with them. This results in the to-hit number for their crossbow attack being a 3+ and rolling seven dice when at full ranks, and even when one rank has been destroyed. The power in these “little instruments of death” is so great that they can attack at Long Range and apply Sundering. The crossbows aren’t the only armaments the Builders have. They also can go into battle wielding longswords. While they are competent in their use, the Builder Crossbowmen would still prefer to reach out and touch the enemy at range. And, if an enemy wants to do them engage via a charge, the unit’s Ready! Aim! Fire! order lets them get an extra attack in before the enemy closes in.

Dire Wolf Digital Taking Pre-orders for Game of Thrones: Oathbreaker Board Game https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/dire-wolf-digital-taking-pre-orders-for-game-of-thrones-oathbreaker-board-game/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/dire-wolf-digital-taking-pre-orders-for-game-of-thrones-oathbreaker-board-game/#respond Fri, 23 Aug 2019 12:03:00 +0000 https://tabletopgamingnewscom.bigscoots-staging.com/?p=2866 Who can you trust in Westeros?
Nobody, that’s who. That’s a trick question. We all know that literally nobody can be trusted any further than you can comfortably stab them with a poisoned dagger. But you can’t just run around stabbing people. You’ve gotta be subtle and sly about it. And that’s what you’ll be doing in Oathbreaker, a new board game coming from Dire Wolf Digital.

From the website:

Who do you trust?

If you sit on the Iron Throne, the wisest answer is “no one.”

Game of Thrones™: Oathbreaker is a game of deception and social deduction. One player assumes the role of King or Queen, while the others represent the great Lords and Ladies of the Houses of Westeros. Some are loyalists who want order in the realm. Others are conspirators, seeking to undermine the throne. And all of them have a secret agenda of their own. Who is truly loyal, and who is simply hungry for power, honor, and coin? It’s up to the King to figure it out before it’s too late.

Lavishly illustrated with photos from the hit HBO original series, Game of Thrones: Oathbreaker captures all of the intrigue and drama of Westeros in a game that’s fast, fun, and strategic. Play as any of 12 unique characters as you connive and scheme your way to victory!
