Updated Battlebox - What's Different to the Old One?

[Olaf the Stout]

Thanks for that Red Moon. Ok, so not really enough changed or extra in there for me to buy the updated version but still a good deal if you don't own the original.

I'm so buying one for my DM. That sounds great.

Is the text any bigger than the first ones? I need to use my glasses to even have a chance of reading the original ones.

Shame the CD contents aren't available for download. I'd buy the CD for the spell AoE templates and spell effects counters alone.

How big are the battle maps?

Sounds like a good upgrade to me!!!

I was just about to buy the Digital Counter Collection for Summoned Creatures to supplement my print copy too, then I decided to check my Battlebox CD on a whim - needless to say, I was quite pleased

10" x 17" (ish). You get two, so can join them together, as they're flagstones (with some scattered bones, etc). Not sure you could draw on them (or, more to the point, if you'd be able to get the dry marker off if you did - they have a gloss, but are paper).

I don't have the first one, so I can't answer that. However, the text on the cards is pretty fine, so I doubt anything has changed.

I believe the CD just allows you to print out more of your own stuff on your own card stock. I think it has the "main set" as well as the monster and animal summoning spells sets.

As for what is updated inside, don't know. If you haven't bought this before I do recommend you buy it. The Iron Heroes one is good too.

I'll second the recommendation for the Iron Heroes battlebox. It might be the best addon I've ever purchased, and at a darn amazing price. I kind of wish I had looked more at the other ones that were at GenCon now.
