Ideas

So with the release of Planetstrike I picked up the book on Saturday and read to my hearts content, not too bad, some interesting concepts but its still city fight mixed in with apocolypse with a dash of 2nd and 3rd edition thrown in for good measure. I wouldve liked it if it had more stuff for the other armys, the Tau one which is kinda nifty in a limited way....is ok, along with the other races. But while everybody for the most part got one extra option that was army specific, the Imperial Guard or Imperial faction (Imp Guard and Space Marines) got a crap ton, thats fine, but would it have been too hard to like, throw in some extra ones for each race? Anyway, I give it a solid 2 1/2 out of 5, mainly as it is a repackaged cities of death book with terrain and what nots added. However the missions are good, but lets hope they do somthing with it.

If you play a Planet Strike game, dont make it apocolypse sized, tone it down to 1250 points and you may be suprised.

As far as the forts, see the same as above, for once I dunno GW do somthing for the other races...just a little? Some Tau bunkers would be awesome. Mainly as I cant find the right crap you guys have in your wharehouse. Sorry minor divergance there.

I suspect that as the new army books are released they might add in the Planet Strike stuff along with it, but then again, the company we are talking about does tend to ignore our requests regardless of how many people ask for said items.

Overall its not to bad of a release, I just feel a little cheated as far as content goes, but that may lift over time.
