  The Assault Phase

The Assault Phase has a page on Facebook now.  I’m not sure how many here use facebook, but there are some pretty good hooks in with the website and facebook.  Through applications we are able to have all of the stores posted on the blog automatically replicated on the Face Book page.  If you use Facebook as a place to visit daily, by becoming a fan of the page, you will get updates whenever new events and posts are made.

Not too long ago I mentioned a new iPhone and iTouch application for math hammering your way through a game of Warhammer 40k called i40K.  There is now another kid on the block competing for that same slice of Warhammer market in iPhone applications.

There are four screens focused on different aspects of the game, they are self explanatory. Shoot Units, Assault Units, Shoot Vehicles, Assault Vehicles.

It is missing some pretty key components that will certainly affect a game.  Two things I notice missing are Armor Penetration  in shooting and Invulnerable saves in both shooting and assault.  This is a pretty big oversight considering the number of troops now in 40k 5th with invulnerable saves.

Some features I could see it needing is some graphing like i40K does, adding invulnerable, AP, and an interface update.  There really is not a lot of pizzazz. Missing two key components of the game does not make it work $4.99 right now, a dollar less than i40K though.

Mathhammer 40K and it’s sister product Mathhammer Fantasy offers both some of and in concern to assaults and vehicles, more features in comparison to i40K but is honestly a less polished interface.  That being said, it’s way faster than i40K which tended to slow down dramatically on me.  i40K still keeps the feel of iPhone design but needs some code polish to make it a better product then Mathhammer at this time.  For now If you want accuracy, speed, and functionality, go with Mathhammer on the the iPhone.  I find i40K too slow to be usable.

More Chaos in the Old World news.  Fantasy Flight Games updated their page with some details of how the game plays, purpose, and some information of each of the God’s abilities in the game.  This looks great and I can’t wait to play it myself.  If anything there’s going to be some great material from the plastic game pieces and cardboard cutouts for use in bits.

For only $559.00 you can get the new Imperial Defense Network.  It basically is a bundle of the Citadel Realm of Battle Board, the landing platform, and a couple of the Imperial forts.  It may be a bit of a deal if you buy it all together like that.  But this is basically made for those with lots of disposable income and the time required to paint it all.

All armies are welcome to head down to the PBKW system for an apocalyptic battle.  Come early, get with the team of your choice and plan out your strategy.  We will be putting two or three tables together for a large plantary assault.  Hopefully we can theme it up a bit to make it fun.  Chaos and allies vs. Imperium and allies.  All are welcome, it’s free to play, and if you are new to Warhammer 40K, this is a fun and chaotic way to learn the game.

Rules: No tournament rules here.  No painting rules.  No etc.
Army size: Bring a couple smart lists.  500 Point, 100o Point, 1500 Point.  Maybe an Apoc formation.  We’ll decide what we will do depending on how many people come.
Fun required.

Can only play for an hour or two.  That’s fine.  Bring a small 500 point list and come in as a reserve force.
