Fantastic Adventures

What material in the Fantastic Adventures pertains to DDM?

Posted by Stephen Schubert:
Some of the maps include new terrain features (instead of existing terrain like blood rock or spike stones) that impact skirmish play. A small portion of the text in each product mentions the impact of such terrain features, and also describes how to use the maps instead of tiles when playing a skirmish game (think Victory Areas).

There are not scenarios on the same level of Assault or Quickstrike presented in either of the first two FL products.

All 4 maps in the first FL product are skirmish-legal. Subsequent products use 1 of the 4 maps to detail a non-skirmish-legal area, thus only 3 of the 4 maps in FL2 and FL3 are skirmish legal. When maps become the standard for play in the next starter, there will be 12 or 15 maps legal for skirmish play (depending on the timing of the FL3 release). Yes, my math is correct.

Also note that we will be paying close attention to reaction to this product line, so we are all looking forward to feedback.
