Battle Packs: Battle Basics

World Works Games proudly presents: Battle Packs, a new dimension in gaming accessories! Set #1 Battle Basics covers all your essential gaming needs! Like "Hollow" flame templates that actually work around miniatures for precise placement or "hollow" blast templates that go one step further, placed right-side up for general shooting or used upside down for pin-point targetting! Let everyone know what kind of havoc you've wrought with "cinematic" explosions, fires and plumes of smoke! Use environmental effects to create drifting clouds of smoke, raised earth, icy barriers or fireball spell damage either generally or with grid-line accuracy! Cut out the guess-timates with multi-angle fire-arcs and vehicle turn templates! Even keep track of wounds, psychological effects, experience points and fate points with dozens of distinct counters and markers! So if you've been meaning to ramp up your gaming sessions, look no further: it's time to get back to basics!

Battle Pack #1- Battle Basics includes all of the following:

- 2 Vehicle Turn Templates
- 2 Fire Arcs
- Small explosions
- HUGE explosion
- Fire standees
- Small, Medium and Large Smoke Plumes
- Small, Medium, Large and Wargame Standard "Hollow" Flame Templates
- 2", 3", 4", 5", 6", 7" and 8" "Hollow" Blast Templates

Will it be TLX compatible? Or is it a Wormhole expansion?

Neither and yet potentially both...

Ooooh, Mr. Lyon, you are a wicked tease...

Do it again!

Might this product be associated with words like "standees", "props", and "l00tz"?

My thoughts exactly.

Wait, I've got it. Is it a cardstock fanny pack?

johhnytrash · **Posted:** 02-21-2011, 06:37 AM

What are you guys excited about? I have no idea what this product even is.

Well, "gaming accessories" sounds interesting. Apparently there's going to be a scifi and a fantasy version of this. Possibilities, in my mind: map elements, props, counters. I'm surprised that WWG hasn't done something like this already, to be honest.

So, from what my imagination and a half-sentence in the teaser supply me with, I'm interested.

Well, personally I'm excited because WWG products are consistently pretty awesome, so I'm confident that this product will be impressive no matter what it turns out to be. My main interest is Wormhole so I hope CapnG's not messing with me there, but even if it's not something I'll end up buying I'm looking forward to seeing what the team comes up with.

I'm still going with 'fanny pack' though.

Talae · **Posted:** 02-21-2011, 09:05 AM

Definitely excited for this one.

Matthew777 · **Posted:** 02-21-2011, 09:37 AM

"Gaming Accessories" sounds mighty shiny. And it looks like there will be a sci fi and fantasy version judging by the progress badges.

There's massive difference in scale between those two.

Maybe it's a continuation of the 1:1 scale accessory range: full size Battle Packs to wear while gaming?

Tokens and Markers from teh sounds of it. This could be big. Will this be a pdf or retail product like TCP?

Blast zones? Radiation zones? Debris fields? That sort of thing?

Well if that is the case, I made the first concept models of these
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c5/Gh ... G_1090.jpg
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c5/Gh ... G_1107.jpg
when playing D&D 3.5 as they worked for spell effects in D&D and just changed up the skin for Thermal Dets (the size of a fire ball) and Grenades for Saga:Star Wars.

Even though I have these if WWG makes ones that make cones (i have templates I have worked on but never finished) I would buy them (and likely burst as I need more).

I looked at the Steel Squire ones and liked the concept of a template for AoE but hey as you can guess by me buying and building WWG stuff I like fully 3D so I just made them myself...

I have honestly been kind of supprissed no one stepped up before and made 3D templates.

DeltaIce · **Posted:** 02-23-2011, 03:58 AM

I'm hoping it will be props as those could be used anywhere ... TLX or whatever. I think Denny alluded to plans for prop packs a long time ago, or maybe I was just dreaming it.

TheAuldGrump · **Posted:** 02-23-2011, 02:03 PM

Looking into my Magic 8 Ball....

Tiles, props, standees, and a short scenario, that may or may not be tied to a specific system. Similar to an expanded 'Scenic Encounter'.

The Auld Grump, actually, it just said 'Answer Cloudy, Try Again Later'.

No, Grump, that's the wrong ball - you're using the "WWG project ETA ball (R)." (all the sides say that :wink:

)

Usually you'd be right, but Matt's on this and he seems to spit them out like his life depended on it :wink:
