Squad Goals, the 3-man marvel crisis protocol team tournament wrapped earlier this month. I was there as a color commentator and judge. During the event I had 2 very interesting rules questions that I want to talk about here, so strap in because we are diving deep into the rules for this one. First I got to experience a team tactics card I had never seen played. Trial by Combat. This card is from the warrior falls rivals pack that features killmonger usurper and King T’challa.

In our Army Showcase series, Goonhammer contributors take a look at the armies we’ve been collecting for years, and the new ones we’ve just finished – what drew us to them, why we keep building and painting, and how they play on the table. This week Raf is talking about his fearsome force from the Principality of New Antioch. The Painter: Raf “captainraffi” CorderoThe Game: Trench CrusadeDucats: 700ish. I think I painted an extra guy and we didn’t do WYSIWYG anyway.

Tucked down a hallway on the North side of the Baird Center—Adepticon’s new Milwaukee home—was a conference room given over entirely to the welcoming community of the Basement of Death. They’re best known for the massive game of Space Hulk they run every year, though this year they added a Marvel Crisis Protocol narrative event we covered, Zombicide, and an RPG. There was also a secret event unlisted in the Adepticon event roster: a custom Trench Crusade campaign.

As part of our dive into hex and counter games, I wrote a two part series on my favorite game system. Part 1 is about why I like these games so much. Part 2 will be on which games to try to jump in and try to see what all the fuss is about. Board games are about people. With rare exception, I don’t enjoy playing games alone. The cardboard, the plastic, the wood…it’s all just stuff without friends sitting around the table with you.
