3 - Dimensional gaming, taking the game to several new levels

This is a great concept to try ou in casual games. When I battled at a friends house we had a few things for terrain, as bastion and two port-holes We decided that the two port-holes had a tunnel running underneath the board and only normal sized infnatry could enter, meaning no terminators, dreadnoughts, war walkers, ogryns, jetbikes, etc, as they couldnt fit inside.

We also had the almighty bastion. We decided it could have a maximum capacity of 20, save for when there is an inside assault. After several minutes of examining the figure we decided this was about the right Statline

Imperial Bastion

AV Front Side Back
15 15 15

Capacity: 20

Fire Points: 2 at base level

Weapons: 4 heavy bolters, second level
60" range Lascannon top level turret

3 Levels

Crossing between levels takes a full turn

Units may be spread across several levels, but you may only shoot on the same level you are on. Assaults may be spread across neighboring levels.




this was a popular stronghold throughout the battle, being held for 9 of the 10 turns, and held under seige for most of that.

the tunnel was likewise popular, more so than expected in fact

This new dimension opened up new doors for the game and made it much more enjoyable, complex, and unpredictable
