Firstly great review, secondly I notice ...Hi there<br /><br />Firstly great review, secondly I notice that the models come with a card with the stats on it for each figure. Do you need the cards or are the stats reproduced in the book. I ask as I have a large collection of pirate figures and will probably use them instead of buying the ones for the game (ok maybe the goblins but no others) so won't be collecting the cards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-36505926585391191942012-06-15T14:10:49.681+01:002012-06-15T14:10:49.681+01:00Ak yes... the lack of space that is the curse and ...Ak yes... the lack of space that is the curse and bane of many a hobbyist... if only I had my own tardis!!!Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-41616151383061899842012-06-15T11:43:39.438+01:002012-06-15T11:43:39.438+01:00It's not that times are tight, so much as I si...It's not that times are tight, so much as I simply can't justify or fit any more minis :DDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04507510682896486423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-14689552537236313522012-06-15T10:52:07.225+01:002012-06-15T10:52:07.225+01:00The stats and special rules for the various option...The stats and special rules for the various options are in the rulebooks so you could cobble some stuff together if you wanted too. Bit the cards are sort of important in how the game plays. I'm not sure if you can download the cards though. I'm sure you used to be able to. Sorry I can't be of more help than that. Personally I'd say buy the mini's as they're brilliant, but I'm more than aware times are tight. You will need a deck of playing cards though. Those are non-negotiable.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-64252973512900168372012-06-15T10:42:37.452+01:002012-06-15T10:42:37.452+01:00Hmm, I have a massive pile of Black Scorpion pirat...Hmm, I have a massive pile of Black Scorpion pirates sitting around and plenty of warmachine minis - is this game playable using other companies' minis or do you need stat cards specific to blister packs of Freebooter minis?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04507510682896486423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-38721512319200579232012-02-03T22:59:29.796+00:002012-02-03T22:59:29.796+00:00I love the Goblin with the giant crab on his back....I love the Goblin with the giant crab on his back.

I'm ...Well you could always buy it again!!! :P<br /><br />I'm glad Ive got somebody else backing me up on the books quality though. My friends and I all think it's actually rather splendid, and it's certainly a rather splendid game. Honestly we've not had any rules confusions, sure there were a few and what now moments with some of the more weirder special rules, but look at the cards read the book and 60 seconds later we were back playing the game. And now we don't even need the book.

But the game is a barrel of laughs and it lets you shoot people in the family jewels. Seriously, it's just such a riot to play. Taking somebody out with too critical shots to the man parts is just too God Damned hilarious. The factions are brilliant too. Each of the four I've seen so far have their own unique play stay and character. Although I haven't seen the rules for the Amazons the miniatures look fantastic.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1448296907784874327.post-72645557971692383412012-02-01T15:29:12.787+00:002012-02-01T15:29:12.787+00:00You really won't regret it.

It's loads of fun to sit and watch too, very entertaining to see people go at it and there are some very tense moments with the damage and body part targeting as it comes down to the nitty gritty.
