Fire aaaaall the guns!
😁🤞🏻
Nice one
Exciting stuff 👍
nice rules break down
I was wondering how broadsides were going to work now that they’re an action rather than a weapon. The answer looks to be “scarily well!”
You have to shout ‘Broadside!’, but in the voice from the heroquest advert saying broadsword 😀
Great clarification. The minis look great all up close like that!!
Missed opportunity to have one of the OTT crew sitting in the corner cosplaying as an Admiral griping about how people don’t do proper broadsides anymore.
like the idea of firing broadsides as an actual thing, rather than just getting up along side and saying youre firing specific guns
Boom! Feel the mighty wrath of the broadside!
Big broadside barrage!
Fire everything!
