Tras una de sus visitas a Starship Games Viden creo un grupo de Whatsapp con gente de la tienda que esta interesada en retomar este estupendo juego de especialista. GW sacó varias versiones del juego, desde las primeras con el Titanicus y el Space Marine, a su reedición por los 90's con el Epic 40.000, su segundo asalto con Epic Armageddon, los NetEpic Gold y NetEA mantenidos por la comunidad o la actual reedición del Adeptus Titanicus (Se ha cerrado el circulo??). Por nuestra parte el que más conocemos es el Epic 40.000, así que nos ofrecimos ha hacer una partida de demostración/introducción en la tienda, para que la gente pudiera ver como va el juego y si les gustaba o no.
In one of my visits to Starship Games, I created a Whatsapp group with people from the store interested in playing this awesome Specialist game. Once upon a time Games Workshop launched several editions of it: Adeptus Titanicus first and then Space Marine, later relaunched as Epic 40.000 in the blessed 90s. After some controversial years they launched its fourth installment as Epic Armaggedon before ust killing the whole "Specialist games". But the community endured and both NetEA and NetEpic Gold were born as result before GW reenacted Adeptus Titanicus thus closing the circle (or not?). The vesion we most know is Epic 40.000, so we offered to do one demo at the store so our fellow gamers could try it.

Para esta partida organizamos dos fuerzas de unos 1300 puntos de Orkos y de Imperio, cada una de ellas con varios destacamentos de distinta clase para que se vieran el máximo número de tropas distintas, así como un Titan para cada uno, que es de los grandes alicientes de este juego, para que engañaros. ;)
This time the Orks and the Empire clashed in a fairly open plain with eclectical 1300 points lists including a bit of everything, warmachines included (let's be honest, one of the best things of the game).

La partida fue muy rápida y todo que estuvimos mucho rato de "chachara", cotilleando por la tienda, comprado cosillas y demás, la partida se jugó en apeas un par de horas (dejando tiempo para jugar una demo de Battlefleet Gothic). A la gente que participó, le gusto bastante por su sencillez y por su rapidez. Es un juego para grandes batallas, así que no entra en mucho detalle de las tropas generalizado mucho (uno de los motivos de su fracaso en su momento).
The battle itself was quick despite hatting a lot, peeking throught the store buying more resin and so on. The game lasted about two hours (with time to barely play a demo of Battlefleet Gothic). The people involved liked the simplicity and speed of the rules, being as it is a big battle ruleset it does not give much detail about the troops and it is pretty generalistic (which was the main reason of it failure back in the late 90s).

Al final, una mañana muy divertida, una gran batalla y una victoria para el Imperio. Dar las gracias a Viden, que vino a la demo después de haber currado toda la noche!!
We had a good time with the game even if the slaves of the Corpse Impostor won the day. And special thanks to well... me, for coming to help right after a ten hour night shift. All I can say is that he Hobby is strong in me.
