GW Reveals Gangs of Commorragh Gameplay!
Gangs of Commorragh is a brand new, fast playing, game from Games Workshop. Come check out this brief rundown on the game play.
Demo Game up now, I’ll report what I can as it goes on but may have to dive out early.
- The board looks super sparse; like a 4×4 will just a black sheet or something over it, and about 6 bits of tiny card terrain.
- Each players rolls an “event” before the game; Phil rolls 12 which signifies “Home territory”. This would be more significant in a campaign
- You split your gang into murderpacks and send them out on missions; you then randomly select which of your packs you end up using in the game so don’t pack one side with all your good stuff.
- “Ambush roll” is the first thing to determine who gets the advantage; numerically smaller gangs get +1 to their roll
- They’re tracking the rolls for ambush; the difference between the rolls signifies what amount of maneuverability the ambushed gang has at the beginning of the game
- The “ambushed” gang is deploying in the centre; the ambushing gang then deploys on a randomly determined side from them
- Phils (ambushed) starter roll was 2 less than James’ (ambusher), so he gets to rotate up to 45 degrees with his guys before the game starts. if the roll was only 1 different, he could rotate up to 90 degrees
Wow what a weekend! Well this is going to be an exciting build up to the next installment of the Gathering Storm saga with all of these new miniatures,
Make sure you keep an eye out, as we will be posting our breakdowns of all the latest Gathering Storm II news that comes out CSI Robbie B style!
