    For mama Murphy, stimpacks count as chems I believe. So starting with 2 big heals that she can use on or pass on to others isn't too shabby

    • @WarGamesNewsRadio
      @WarGamesNewsRadio  Pƙed 2 lety +2

      Huh...I hadn't thought of that! Technically you're right - stimpaks are chems! It wouldn't give you the extra foresight points for having an active chem, but you could buy some others to still benefit from that effect and get the two stimpaks for free. Smart thinking!

    I think you should have talked a bit about Powerarmor because units like the Sole Survivor, Preston and Sturges become realy strong meele units in Powerarmor as they use Str. for meele attacks and get the Str.7+ extra black dice.

      Great question! Any “specialty” grants a +2 to skill checks with the listed weapon. Can’t remember what page of the rule book it’s on off the top of my head. A handful of units have these specialties with different weapons (Sturges and the .44, Hammer and the Super Sledge, Preston and the Laser Musket, etc.)

    Mama Murphy is a great model for a survivors army. I played with her a few times and her predictions are such an advantage! Just be sure to keep her in the back and in cover (or even out of any enemy's LoS) and give her chems that grant quick actions so she can escape easier.

    • @WarGamesNewsRadio

      Makes sense, she's a non-combatant for sure! Her foresight rules are so wild, nothing else like her in the game really at this point!

    Hey Ryan! Thanks for the video! On 8:15 The Vault-Tec security officer with a Baton Specialty adds 2 points to his melee skill when using a baton. Why 2? Is there any rule for Specialty to see how it adds to a skill.

    • @HarrierPanels
      @HarrierPanels Pƙed rokem +1

      Found it at rules book, page 10. +2. Do you know the answer if it reads "Does carry" (weapons etc) for a unit? Does it mean it comes for free?

    • @WarGamesNewsRadio
      @WarGamesNewsRadio  Pƙed rokem +1

      The Specialty rule is kind of hidden, but you found it! "Does Carry" is for battle mode, and means that the unit gets the item for free (just like items listed as 'Equipped" on a unit card). Battle mode is in a bit of a state right now as it's being reworked, so it's not currently a 100% complete competitive rule set

    Nice recap, can't wait for more! Got the app, and went for a random 500 cap survivor force, got Heroic Piper, Free Tech, Settler, Scavenger, Sole Survior Tech, EyeBot, and a sniper. The team seems really balanced, each has a cheap melee and ranged attack, but that is about it. What are your thoughts?

    • @WarGamesNewsRadio
      @WarGamesNewsRadio  Pƙed 2 lety +1

      Sounds like a very objective-focused crew! Not much for melee fighters, so I'd try and stay away from close combat unless your SS tech in in power armour. Heroic piper is interesting - if it were me I'd probably move the heroic card onto the SS tech to maximize either objective or combat actions

      I know double commenting, but I was wondering if there would be a scifi / horror faction with mannequins, tendril beast, Doctor Who's Tardis, The Space Baby portal, and even 76's confirmed cryptids as 1 named set, and "rumored" 76 cryptids as rank and file with rules that change if you put down the good guy "Wise MothMan" or any named villain.

    • @WarGamesNewsRadio
      @WarGamesNewsRadio  Pƙed 6 měsĂ­ci +1

      A bit tricky with these, but short answer to both questions is sadly "no." The Minuteman unit only gives their 2-for-1 activations and +2 to hit to other Minuteman units (not the faction keyword). Same with Preston's +1 HP, it is only for the Minuteman unit (and not the faction keyword, so no extra HP for ronnie).

    for me its one of the weakest factions..no good non unique close combat chars. vault dweller for example...cheap as hell but such a low to hit chance and with only 4 hp...dead in one attack with a SM or someone in PA... CC have a big advantage vs ranged Combat..always faster so the shooter never cant get away...ranged cant support in a CC fight( except preston or pay extra for equipment) beside my opinion on that faction....your Vids are the best..
