I was looking forward to see the model for this, and it definitely lives up to the artwork from the strategy guide! = ) Soo.. what's Crunch? And does Armored protect you from all collisions or only from certain kinds (say, buildings only)? Thanks for the preview! T Ooo!

Soo.. what’s Crunch? And does Armored protect you from all collisions or only from certain kinds (say, buildings only)?

If anything, it can feel a little overwhelming trying to parse all the different abilities. But when you've put together a nice faction force, you'll have options aplenty.

With more minis and abilities I may give it another try, since the one thing that I didn't really like was what seemed to be a lack of combat options and tactics from one mini to another.

Did you get to play with a full city of buildings at GenCon? Because having more buildings makes a huge difference in how fun the game is.

I was a bit underwhelmed with the gameplay at Gencon. Any word on rules additions for monsterpocalypse in there? I was a bit underwhelmed with the gameplay at Gencon.
