Quotes (from this video)

• it's so over complicated a lot of good ideas but terrible to play
• the models look really good but um it's also not cheap I swear to God I saw the retail on it for that starter box was like 150 bucks
• because you can now get a pretty decent looking print we can make more stuff like that
• I used to play silent death back in the day which was a game made by a company called iron Crown Enterprises we used to play the heck out of that
• it was definitely very kind of complicated as well but at the time being a younger person I enjoyed it quite a bit
• I don't know if I'm not sure if Vince has played ship combat games I have
• I use an iada uh Eclipse uh iada hpcs I think is the technical uh model name or whatever and I've always loved that thing it works great
• why you wouldn't have Federation versus Klingon AR Romulan as the starter factions in any Star Trek game it makes no logical sense to me
• so I was really hoping they were going to do something different with um with the new version and when they sent me like the copy and I was started reading the rules and stuff I was just like oh this is pretty much just the same
• there's a zillion charts in that game
• it was a little fiddly but not too fiddly
• I do wonder if making Star Trek games fairly complicated is part of knowing Their audience as a trekky I can safely say we tend to like that kind of crunch and the complexity
• I don't want to play too much crunch these days you know what I mean
• CPS speed paint through the airbrush on the bottom terrain is the goat indeed
• I made a video about how to make it so your airbrush never clogs again and I'm 98% sure I made that video
• I have never had a clog in my airbrush in a decade at this point
• hard to believe silent death was from the same company I mean probably different people obviously you know but yeah silent death sheets a bit like hero clicks whereas you take damage
• the tabletop minions Awards will be coming out on Friday so less than a week away tabletop minions awards for 2024
