OT: Tabletops

[PrinzMegaherz]

Hello everybody,

I just wanted to know which tabletops the seasoned wargamers from the Dom 2 community play and why you prefer a certain system.

I have been playing warhammer 40k for some time (Tau and Blood Angels), but have recently switched to Confrontation because I feel the rules are superior, the models more detailed and you need less money to get a starting army.

So, what do you people play? And what would you think about a Dominions tabletop? I would very much like to collect an abysian army

Does Twilight Imperium count? It's more board game than tabletop strategy game, the upshot being you don't spend your life savings on miniatures, and your weekdays on painting those miniatures.

I recently bought the 3rd edition for 80€ (that's the normal price around here) and I am very disappointed. The game is just boring, because after 4 sessions we came to the conclusion, that the game you play on the board (moving ships, conquering planets) has almost no influence on who wins the game, due to the imperial strategy and unfair mission objectives.

How much would 80*weirdcurrencysign* be in $US. Having no reference, that could be equivalent to two crunchy tachos or a lexus.

$96.87 according to today's Google conversion.

Never seen the european currency € before? I don't want to sound rude, but it is a common prejudice here that the horizon of the average american ends at the coast...

I find that whenever someone says "I don't want to sound _____" that _____ is, in fact, precisely how they intend to sound.

You have succeeded here.

Pretty much agreed.
