![]() The application can be used for 100 if not 1000s of different game systems.But if you factor in that you can play tons more game systems it is definitely worth the cost. “but you are talking to a person $45 on a single mini”. I personally think it is worth the cost just to play AOS. $20 is the regular price, and it goes on sale often. The possibilities are very open, Apocalypses anyone? You can play 1v1, 2v2 3v3, and I have even seen some maps that have double boards so two games at one time. This is probably one of the most useful aspects of the application. You can stop and save a game at anytime and pick back up on another day. You can have preset maps saved and ready. I am not going to lie and say it is just the same or better, however it is close enough. A very reasonable approximation of AOS. ![]() The whole Tzeentch range, all the endless spells and my opponents had all the models they needed for their list as well. I was able to find a model for everything I was looking for. I agree in general with their assessments. At first glance things seem much slower and not as precise but once you figure out some of the movement tricks it’s not too bad.” My helpful tip is to be patient and try to learn the hot keys. Another good thing about the sim is being able to play test with models/units that maybe you don’t have, to see if they’re worth picking up and running in an actual game. The measurements can be a little wonky and sometimes terrain or models have a big hit box collision so placing models in the sim isn’t 100%. I’d rather be able to roll the dice with my own hands. I don’t think it will replace in person AoS. Being able to get games in with friends has been fun better than the alternative of not playing at all. Placement of models around each other takes some getting used to, but it’s overall an excellent way to scratch that itch.”Īndrew Fornea who is the local AOS orginizer at Atomic Hobby Shop in Spring said, “I think tabletop simulator is a great tool overall. Every part of the game can be done in there. Kyle Valdez, who runs the Grand Alliance Houston FB Group, and is in charge of the Hammerfest GT said, “TTS is the best way to keep up with playing AoS. The Gird option is fantastic for objective placement and set up.” The physics can be wonky, and the functionality is huge, so sometimes you do things by accident and that can be frustrating. At least for legion it is simple enough to figure out after twenty minutes and a youtube. Not quite miniatures but it is more than nothing. I asked a few of the local Miniature Wargame organizers their thoughts TTS and this is the feedback they gave:īen Biddle is the primary Houston Star Wars Legion organizer he said, “Pretty good. ![]() I can really see more and more players using it as a tool to learn, play, and stay connected to the hobby. However I feel I have learned a substantial amount about the software and really feel that this platform in going to grow in popularity over the next few months as more and more players look to use it as a replacement for the real thing. The only way that I could see me getting any real feedback on the list was getting some games on TS.Īs of today I have only played a few games on TS. So I needed to try and test the different lists out before I started painting 100 more models. I have 2 different directions with my Tzeentch army, and the difference in the model count was very large. One of the primary driving factors in the decision to try out TTS was that I was at a painting crossroads. However I finally succumbed to the itch to get an AOS game in. I have heard mixed reviews from gamers about how “close” it was to real tabletop. I will be honest and say I was a bit skeptical about playing AOS on Tabletop Simulator.
