I find the expansions for Halo Flashpoint to be more than a little confusing. The new Banished set needs a third expansion to work but this can be a a simple PDF.
If that’s the case why not include the PDF at the very least?
I picked up two copies of the Spartan set, and one is painted. I’ve yet to play the game.
Banished doesn’t need a third expansion to work, you just need the rules.
yeah but if you aren’t using Fireteams you can just play red v blue the same as the main game, it requires the rules, but the Fireteam is optional.
I don’t fully understand having not played the game but it’s unclear why the rules aren’t in the box.
it’s not the game box, the game has the rules this is just a faction starter, so it was a way to get faction themed terrain and miniatures. The regular release of the minis will be coming in a month or two
I’m not sure what you’re saying.
Why does this new game box which is being sold as an expansion require another expansion to play?
It doesn’t. You can just play with drafting the models. You can optionally choose fire teams using the points systems, which is explained in the wargames expansion.
The wargames expansion adds points for the various models so you can build an army to a points limit?
That clears it up a bit. Thanks Matt.
Yep. In the basic game, you simply draft four models each to play with from the ones you have. Wargames adds a points system, adding extra equipment and the usual list building experience. You can still draft with the extra stuff coming out without Wargames, but it might not be quite as balanced as the starter sets.
I should probably play one of my two copies of the Spartan edition some time. I even painted one set. Life has been busy.
