I er.. claim ingnorance.. don’t understand the game .. *chortle* .. ok, I tried, hey getting a chance to fly over there sounded to good. hehe. Great job with this demo and really looking forward to future vids. I love it when you get the merc-eye-view with the camera. GJ.

I liked that video, good use of the handycam there , made whats going on very easy to follow. I have to say the game impresses me too, I took up infinity off the back your first infinity week, and as mentioned in the backstage thing, with my interest in current 40k waining with each new release (we still play 2nd edition and have lots of fun with it) I can see giving this a try as well. Only having 6 minis to paint is a real bonus too. Looking on wayland, the kemvar are the minis that caught my… Read more »

Warren, Lucas, et al. Thank you. Both of these gameplay videos helped me to understand Mercs a lot more, so much so that I’ve just downloaded the QS rules, the cards and scenarios the try out. Payday can’t come soon enough 😉

Sorry not feeling this at all. It just seems a bit bland in its mechanics. I must admit now I have seen the minis on the table they are more impressive than the videos I saw posted from worthy painting. However the whole videos (and yes I have seen them both in there entirety) seemed a bit lackluster and not very engaging. I know it is your job to promote the hobby and act as ambassadors for new game systems. I got into Warmachine due to BOW so it does work what you do. However I feel with this product… Read more »

Hey guys, love the video love the game, just thought I would point out that all semi auto rifles get two attacks vs one target. I might have missed the rolling but you fellas seemed to be only rolling one attack. Anyway just thought about that while watching really enjoyed it and can’t wait to see what comes next.

I noticed that you guys were only rolling one dice for the Semi-Autos instead of two. Warren could have cleaned up with his remaining Assault Leader while Lucas was spending his actions repairing. The demo gave a good feel to the structure and flow of the game. Like any demo with a new player things may seem disjointed and the mechanics might look a little wonky. Two ACM’s they didn’t use, Overwatch and Suppression, give even a greater tactical depth to the game. subatomica, try watching the batreps on Snap To Cover.com. It gives you a better look on how… Read more »

Hey guys, nice videos. Just one question, are you planning to publish the scenarios you are playing during the videos?

Good battle report/tutorial format. MERCS is a great little game, been onboard since it came out a couple of years ago. Once you add the Suppression and Overwatch rules it becomes even more dynamic and narrative. Oh, and remembering that you get 2 shots a turn with a semi-auto makes it a lot more bloody 🙂

Love the minis and the world of this game. Would like to start playing it but sadly in our community i guess no one would start a new game :/

Great job guys. As a beginner game there were mistakes, but this did a great job of showing the flow and rhythm of the game. Look forward to seeing more of these. I’m a huge fan of giving games a story, and I’m excited to see how this one turns out.

Recky in rules it’s specified that you can only field each unit type once 🙂

Hey Warren, I think you’ll find that when you shoot with the Asslt Ldr,Medic & Demo, you should have rolled 2 die, as the semi-auto wpn gets 2 Attks vs 1 tgt (written on the cards). if you had done that, it would have been a much messier affair!! 😉

The game looks interesting indeed. I’ve always overlooked it, but I learnt (or rather was sold) quite a lot in these to vids.The 3 x 2 board and small model limit makes for perfect quick games on the coffee table when one doesn’t feel like setting up the big full size boards. The only things I don’t like, is the card templates…only because I could see it getting a bit fiddly. Apart from that. Looks like a blast. I especially liked the initiative system, seems to make for a really on edge game. You can be sneaky with you tactics… Read more »

Great report on a cool looking game.

One question? The D10 initiative seems to create huge swings and might encourage safe play? Are their rules further down the line which change this factor (apart from the hold +2)?

But the videos were great for introducing people to MERCs. An idea I had whilst watching was that if Warren had put his Asslt Ldr on overwatch whenbehind the 1st barracade, it MAY(subject to the dice gods) have provided some covering fire for the Medic & Demo to get into a better asslt position. but Hey, this is just a learning curve for all of us, no matter what our level of xp is. Have been playing this game on/off for 18months & I learnt a few new tricks, and thought of a couple of new tactics to try on… Read more »

I really, really like the look of this. Random factor still there but letting anyone get a look at your fellas is very likely painful, so the emphasis is on movement and use of cover. Exactly what a skirmish game should be!

All looks all pretty straight forward but you can fly me over there if you like.
I’ll probably download the cards and play with some proxies first. If friends get into the game then I will too, there’s always going to be room in the case for 6 models.

I will keep watching the vids but to be honest the minis don’t really do it for me and the cards are interesting but I would like templetes for the templete weapons kind of unweildly with the cards for me. Loved the Heavy Gear week you guys did and look forward to other game systems.
