Comments on: Red Blok Starter Set Army http://www.at-43addict.com/red-blok/red-blok-starter-set-army/ Covering Rackhams Tabletop Game AT-43 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 10:50:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Wearbe http://www.at-43addict.com/red-blok/red-blok-starter-set-army/comment-page-1/#comment-912 Wearbe Sat, 15 Aug 2009 08:17:23 +0000 http://www.at-43addict.com/?p=919#comment-912 It says "Red Blok Ruler" on the box, but it isn't that clear-red, hard plastic thing you are thinking... it is a French translation "issue"... they mean a tape measure that has a yellow Red Blok symbol on the side instead of the old version that had the red Rackham serpant. These are also not repacks nor previousely released pieces. These are special version made for this box. The troops have mono-chrome tan pants instead of the red and tan camo. They are also missing the old emblems on the shoulder pads. Oden and Manon have new paint jobs, more simple, though the hair is brighter this round. And the vehicles have slightly "softer" looking paint jobs. Don't worry, though, the vehicles look fine with your old army pieces and look great with this new set. You also get 12 dice (the normal black Rackham ones, not the Red Blok Dice Tin version), 6 low walls (like in the Damocles set) and a very brief intro set of rules and a single page tactical "manual" which would be better named as a tactical insert. Your Dragonov setup has an issue... in the army box you get 2 standard komandos, 1 EWS, 1 sniper, 1 officer, and 1 medic. You don't get any standard komandos in an attachment box which leaves you with one slot short in your 9-man team. I suppose you could use your attachment box Gauss trooper in that slot if nobody cares at your table. The only item that appears unchanged (beside the dice and walls) is the container. It matches the old containers perfectly. The best part of this box, though, is the value. I can't believe they put a Dotch yaga in there at this price. Nice.

The box will include a tape measure, blast template, containers and low wall sections. 6 of the red blok army dice and the measurement ruler should also be in the box as well. You will be able to pick up one of these armies and have everything you need to play in the box. yup, you’ve got it.

Is the idea here its a 'bulk buy' so you save a few bucks? Will there be any terrain pieces included? Thanks, Steve G.

Now if only I can take this post down so no one can ever see it... You’ve sold me on that point holder combo.
