VSET 8 Play Testers: We need all the volunteers we can get to play test as always and we hope you can assist in this task. We will do things a bit differently this time around for play testing:

(1) I will send you a single miniature to play test from one of your preferred faction(s).
(2) When you have submitted a thorough play test of a 200 point game on a map from the restricted list against a capable opponent, you will:
(3) Receive 2 miniatures to playtest from your preferred faction(s).
(4) After you have performed at least one thorough play test of each miniature – again both 200 point games on a map from the restricted list and against a capable opponent – you will:
(5) Receive 3 miniatures to playtest from your preferred faction(s).
(6) When the play testing period ends, there will be a small prize from either Troll and Toad or Cool Stuff Inc. for the person that submits the most viable play tests for consideration.

A viable play test should include the above ingredients as well as:
(1) List the opponent (board name and actual name)
(2) List the map
(3) Be sure it is a 60 minute timed game
(4) List the VSET 8 mini(s) used
(5) List the # of activations
(6) List the total point cost
(7) List Reinforcements/Reserves if any are used
(8) Answer:
(a) How did the characters abilities interact with each other?
(b) Did you understand how the SA/CE interactions work after reading them just once?
(c) Did the abilities on the character(s) make sense? Was anything out of place and/or missing?
(d) Does the mini(s) work?
(e) Is the cost accurate?
(f) Any suggestions for it/them?
(g) Analysis/Description of the game – Detailed accounting of the game

I will keep a running tally and make it periodically available to all the play testers to see how they measure up and who else is play testing. We really need your help to flesh out the best possible VSET minis/stats and keep our great game going. We hope you will volunteer your time and effort.

I'd be happy to give it a shot. I'm certain I can meet your guidelines.

If you don't mind, I'd like to try Mandos.

I want to but I have a hard time playing outside of vassal. That being said I have to see what's available.

Great I can't wait to try out my first one.

Got access to many more of all factions. I have sent you a message if you listed a preferred faction, if not please send one and I will get a mini to you.

Thanks.

Is there a Vassal-centric pt group? It is the only way I can play.

Are we allowed to try out some of the Map Pack 5 maps while playtesting? I have a new pack sitting almost unused, and it seems like a shame not to use it.

Darph Nader allowed the following maps in FrostyCon - would it be acceptable to play of those maps?


I don't mind if the answer's no, just checking.

I don't think using those maps would be a problem. The playtests are really the most important. Play on!

I would be willing to play on vassel with you, just shoot me a bloomail and I will see when I'm available. I would be glad to have another playtesting partner as well as another player to play against.
