My fresh-off-the-presses 2nd edition copy is waiting for me at the customs office. Dunno when I'll finally get the chance to pick it up as the customs office is open Mo-Fr from 7.30 am to 2 pm, which is difficult for somebody working from 7 to 4... Wanna have, wanna have... Looking forward to this.

You can't just roll as many times as you want in this game, so that is not an accurate assessment.

Could you point to me where anyone has actually said this? I keep reading the posts and I'm not seeing anyone saying "You can roll as many times as you want in this game".

C'mon, you don't need to use those exact words, lets look at the comments...

And your comment:
Do people really do this in your games? This is not how it works, in my experience. Again, if you choose to roll and roll and roll, you will have spent your units and at that point I can act with impunity after very successfully drawing out all of your fire. Pretty realistic, in my view, if I can get you to do it.

So, yeah it can happen, but all of you are giving the impression you just roll and roll and roll in this game, which really couldn't be any farther from the truth. I mean, you can do it I suppose for a short while, but the design for effect here is going to punish you for this behavior

In essence, you are telling people this game is about rolling endless dice. Twenty times? I mean c'mon, doesn't that smack just a little of exaggeration? That simply never happened during our sessions. If somebody reads this and wants an honest assessment, they aren't getting it here. That was enough to prompt a comment from me.

What I said was that the game is slowed down by what I feel is excessive die rolling.

And while we are on the subject: "excessive die rolling" as compared to what? All tac scale games are fairly die-roll dependent, its the nature of that beast. Name 3 that are significantly lighter in die-rolling than FF.

Calla, calla... encara hi jugaré a l'Insecta aquest...

The introductory scenario is brilliant...

I like the initiative track
