![]() I expect I’ll get a fair few games out of just these mats before feeling like I need more to mix things up. ![]() What’s nice is this is already quite a bit of play variety you have 2 separate sheets, which are placed together to make a mat, and each sheet has two separate sides, one Terra and one Mars (presumably.) These could then be flipped around to have different sides touching if you wanted to change the shape of the environment, and further you can use the punch out extra terrain bits to add even more variety. The game mats are made of a heavier, kind of soft paper? Hard to describe but it’s a pleasant material to touch, odd a thing to note as that is. The number of dice here likely isn’t nearly enough but… let’s be honest, most of my life is just things I do between wading through my absurd collection of dice, I think I’ll be ok. On the same ‘tier’ of going through the box are a set of Mech and Pilot cards which I believe are for Alpha Strike, their simplified (but just as valid) ruleset for play, and two white 6 sided dice. This isn’t a ‘push some garbage out to new players and they can buy more models when they want to really play’ starter box by every account I’ve heard, you can get this box and basically just use it forever if you really want. All my research online tells me that this is a fantastic initial lineup of mechs that will see tons of use, so while that remains to be seen, I am inclined to trust the community that has said this repeatedly. They come pre-assembled and already on their base I was admittedly kind of hoping for them to not be on the bases, as it will make basing a little bit easier, but it’s not the end of the world. Given their size, the details on these is solid. These minis are great! They’re also adorable, just little guys! Funny thing, I only noticed the names of the mechs were on the plastic when I posted this picture I think I took them out and put them back in before taking this so if they’re in the wrong place… sorry? ![]()
