Played Imperial Assault with the boys tonight.

I love/hate this game. Worst rulebook ever.

  2. Yes it is. He murdered the hell out of a ton of stormtroopers.

  3. I can't stand it. It's based on the DooM board game, which perfectly summed up DooM and was great. It still plays like DooM, and that's a terrible fit for Star Wars.

  4. Wayne Snyder Casey G. That sounds EXACTLY like my first experience with Star Wars wargames back in the 90s.

  5. I am baffled by how bad FFG rulebooks are. Almost every FFG rulebook I have read -- whether it's a board game or a role-playing game -- has been a terrible mess, with a complete lack of logic and flow, far too many ambiguities, and no apparent editing at any stage.

    It's a known problem and one the company has had it for years, but there seems to be no desire to fix it. I half suspect that they know that someone on Boardgamegeek will pop up with a rules summary more coherent than the actual rules within a day or two of release, and will do it for free, so there's no need to bother.

    All that said, Forbidden Stars is okay.
