Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gnarlo" data-source="post: 836325" data-attributes="member: 2995">FASA had a game BattleForce which was the small unit tactics branch of the Mech universe; it didn't use clicky bases but instead had folded card stock counters with the decreasing stats on the back of the counter facing the owning player. The folded counter made a little pocket that you put a small chit in and moved as it took damage to show different parts of the chart on the back of the card. This was in 87, more than a decade before WizKidz was even a twinkle in it's founder's eye <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  If FASA had only done it with bases <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Back on topic, I'll buy the boxes, at least for a while and give it a chance. I severly doubt I'll play the minis game due to a severe lack of hours in the day to do all that I want and need to do, but if the selections you get are halfway decent (lots of orcs and gobs and kobolds and gnolls and other grunts that are hard to justify spending metal prices on just to get a good dungeon lair's  worth of minis + an occasional useful "boss") I'll support it, as prepainted fodder will free up some of that rare commodity of time and allow me to do Other Things Than Paint. /em gnarlo!</blockquote>
