So last week we previewed the SSU faction's new starter set and this week we will take a look at the new Allied starter set.
The Allied set will feature the new unit card design that the other two sets have and from my understanding they are smaller cards. The new dice will also not feature blank sides instead they have been replaced with new symbols to add some more options for your gaming experience.
The new cards do look great, and now they are two sided. I think the added benefit of having some card protectors can really help keep them safe.
The biggest thing I saw when looking at these cards was the change from "Jump" on the Pounder card to "Fast". This will truly add some more game options and I think it is a better rule. The Pounder walker rarely used the "Jump" rule in our games. I cannot speak for everyone else but I for one am very happy about this rule change.
The new starter set has the infamous Grim Reapers that have pulled out many victories for my allied army. I know their ability to lay down some awesome anit-air fire has been a nice asset. The box set comes with dice, mats and some terrain tiles as well.
We also see some new objective cards and a new rule book available in the set. Although we have all three factions represented at Black Heart Gaming, it looks like a few of us might have to start some new armies so we can get our hands on these new sets. Next week we will take a look at the new German Starter set and we can see what is inside.
