Hi
please can i have a run down of all things Hell dorado, heard lots of people talking about it and looked through a rule book but as i flunked french at school dont get much of it.
OK can i find a shop that holds it in the uk, whats the background like, who makes it, how long has the game been out and how does it play and is it any good.
Downloaded the QSR and looked at the pics from the site but need to know more.
Abit about me, 30 playing since i was 10, done gamesworkshop and moved on(but still play bloodbowl and warmaster) now playing other games like infinity, did play confronation untill they messed the rules up, hordes, road kill, anything in fact.
Part of a gaming group in suffolk in the uk that will play anything and also do lots of BB tourneys in the uk as well.
cheers
were to start:
yes at the begining there were only darkness.... NAH!!! to boring
at the end of the 30 years War the Occidentals (europeans ) found a Portal to Hell and instead of getting a crusade to destroy the thing ... they went like "" great more land to explore and conquer" and here we go down to hell to colonize it... now once there they just found that the Saracens ( ottoman turk,arab) were alrready there for 200 years looking for a door to heaven .... kind of odd if you think abou it ... but it doesn't matter really ... now the Demons are the indegenous inhabitants of HEll and they are not happy withthe new comers as they are arriving on an unusual way (walking trough a Door) ... so they are putting some resisteance ... and them we have the Egare or Lost (as they are know in english) now this dudes are all Iguana crocodiles looking guys were the servant of some demons that were destroyed or "???" and refuse to serve under another flag so they were to form a kind of underground ::) reistance to fight everyone Demons and the others ...
the game is played on a 30''X30" inches table divided on 9 squares of 10''X10" and there are several scenarios and a system to set the terrain that make you star palying before star playing ... you got like 9 token(different vaules ) wich you and your opponent place in turn two on each 10"x10'' square depending on the amount of scout your force and your opponent have you could force a token o be placed showing the value ... at the end the value of the token are compared and subtrated( i think?) and depending the value and the token in place this will allow you or your opponent to place a specific piece of terrain ... a rock or a Acummulator of Sould ,a dammed Fountain a lava pool etc etc ... stuf that are quite comun on hell and that will have a particular use on the game at hand ....
the combat rules a re a good mix of confrontation ,hordes, warmachines that is the general opinion ... in myhumble one the system have his great originality that actualy make it stand on his own and even outshine some of the competition ....
expandin on it ....
the comand point system . the total of comand point are like a reseve of special orders to use on your turn or during the game ...
every officer and independent and some elite have in their card a special order that can be use only on them this order state how many points of comand are needed ,and if this cost is permanent making your total go down for the rest of the game, to put it in place and for how long it will last ... all officer have two special orders that can be use in any model on your company .... they are called Vae victis and Vae Soli ...
comand point is also used to recruit normal troopers . by the rules you can't have more troopers that comand points
about combat ... the coolest thing .. it happen at the same time so both players roll their dices and those rolls that beat the defense of the opponent hit, causing damage so in theory both model could die in a combat
cheers for that, weres the best place to get the figures and such from?
most people i know have used this store and none have had any problems with it. the guy speaks english aswell which is useful if u need to contact him. pretty fast delivery too im told.
personnally im waiting for the english releases when they come along. playing confrontation with french rules and cards is something i dont want to have to do again in another system
